The tire mobility kit renders your tire unserviceable. If you have the ability to take the wheel off, or get the tire repaired somehow without having to use kit, don’t use it.

I had a very fixable (about $11 cost) puncture on my driver side rear tire but because I couldn’t drive the car to the shop unless I inflated it, I used the tire mobility kit WITHOUT knowing this fact. I’ve since been told the news, and a factory tire will cost me over $400 (Edit to add: these were all through Costco, they said it needs to be replaced and can’t be repaired).

Honestly, F*CK these guys for getting rid of the spare tire. This is incredibly frustrating, and an incredible waste of what would’ve otherwise been a good tire (less than 15000kms on it).

It doesn’t say anywhere on the manual that using the tire mobility kit renders the tire unserviceable. That NEEDS to be highlighted somewhere.

Edit to add: went to the dealership today: $46 repair.

My point still stands: if it’s repairable and you can limp it in, don’t use the tire mobility kit.

I have a pretty modest 5.1.2 build at home, and I’m quite proud of it. For something that was built off of Facebook Marketplace finds, it’s delivering such great content that makes watching movies and shows so much more enjoyable at home, to the point that whenever I travel for work, I wait until I can get home before I watch a specific movie instead of using the virtual surround headphones provide.

But it’s also changed how I go to the movies. Before, I never cared for UltraAVX, or ATMOS, or any of the “premium” level formats by movie theatres, and thought they were all just gimmicky. Now, I can’t go to the movies and watch anything unless it’s being offered in an enhanced format (exception being if it’s something like rom-com where sound is not that big of a deal). If it’s not offered in an enhanced audio format, I’m going to wait until I can watch it at home. The one time I watched something in “regular” format, it felt flat, lacklustre, and muddled. There were no dimensions to the audio, and it was so disappointing.

That being said, how has moviegoing changed for you over the years/since you’ve built your HT?

I think I’m in fairly good shape, especially after doing CF for the past 2.5 months consistently now. But wall balls kill me. It seems like I have a harder time with it than most people. I think it’s my height, and I really want this exercise to be easier for me. Edit: I want to perform better on it, not make it easier for myself.

For context, I’m like 5’6” (on a good day), and very lean at 140lbs (about 9-12% body fat). Very explosive lower body (I can sprint quite fast, and vertical is pretty high)

Cardio capacity is pretty strong, and I feel like it’s improved significantly since starting.

However, I think my performance on the wall balls has not. I’ve resorted to doing a slight hop just so I could reach the proper height for the ball towards the end of a 100 wall ball exercise (with a 14lb ball!)

I specified “males” because the target is higher for men than women.

Has anyone else encountered this challenge?

A 1-mile run as the monthly challenge right as the DOMS from Monday’s workout kick in hard.

Anyone else’s legs absolutely beaten up right now? Would love some advice for faster recovery. What’s worked well for you?

With so many trades lately there's talk of fanbases "running players out of town", but I think it's overblown in some cases. What are some cases where this truly happened?

Lol first three answers are all Leaf players, love it

Started crossfit about a month ago, quickly realized that my Nike Zooms are no bueno for this type of training (was also teased by coaches to get new shoes).

Looking at UA Commit Trg 5 and they seem to have good reviews and are not crazy on the budget. However, I was told that RADs are the way to go.

Any advice? Are the shoes worth the price or is it a marginal difference with other, more budget friendly options?
