Ali or not Ali for S2 rim replacement?

So this happened to the front wheel of my Cervelo S2. The going price for just one Mavic Cosmic Elite 700c is roughly $150 in the US. But I found a full set for $109 on AliExpress. I haven't looked into how much customs/taxes might be.

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808445072070.html

Has anyone bought bike parts from Ali before? Since I have owned the bike for 10+ years and have never really changed out anything other than internal cable, cassette, and brake pads, I plan to replace both rims together if I could afford them.

Thanks in advance for your feedback. Pls also let me know if there are other trustworthy sites you recommend I order from that offers good prices and from whom I don't have to wonder if what I get is authentic or fake.

14 day trial but how to cancel before trial ends?

I posted this question to them and they responded with a. generic reply, saying that I could cancel any time up to the day before renewal. To sign up for the trial , I had to opt in on a subscription duration. So I chose 6 months, with a date in March listed as my renewal date. When I clicked on cancel auto-renew, it just stated that I would be cancelled for future payment. There is no option for me to not renew after the trial is over. When I wrote back twice to customer support, I didn't get a reply. I am only on second day of trial.

Reception in rural/mtn/forest/BLM land

Does anyone have first-hand knowledge of how GoogleFi's reception is in rural or mountainous towns and forest land and wilderness areas?

Think areas surrounding the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in Wyoming/Idaho/MT, think mtn area like in Washington North Cascades. Think Canadian Rockies. I have always used Verizon/Visible but am unfamiliar with T Mobile tower quality/strength.

Do you think these two parts belonged to the same animal?

Which animal(s) did these pieces come from? Found in Bridger-Teton forest in Wyoming, within black and grizzly bear territories.

Do you agree with this characterisation of full-time JH residents when they are outside of hospitality/work context?

"While visitors find residents friendly in casual passing, they often pick up on an underlying social guard.

Long-term residents are occasionally perceived as protective or dismissive of outsiders.

Visitors who try to mingle in non-tourist local spots note that residents tend to stick strictly to close-knit, insular circles"

If yes, what drives that behavior? And what is the perceived benefit from being insular vs open?

If no, what has been your experience?

Looking for the bachelor trip group from Dallas & Kansas City who helped our family near Jenny Lake on Friday, Aug 21

Hi everyone,

I am hoping the internet can help me track down some remarkable people. On Friday, August 21st, in the morning, my wife suffered a sudden medical emergency and passed out on a trail near Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park.

A group of guys out on a bachelor trip—with members from both Dallas and Kansas City—completely stopped their hike, stepped in, and stayed with me, my daughters, and our sons-in-law the entire time until the National Park Service medical team arrived.

In a moment of pure panic and fear, their steady presence and kindness were absolute lifesavers. I was so focused on my wife that I didn't get their names or contact information. Update: Thankfully, she appears to be okay now and is being evaluated by medical professionals to figure out what happened.

I want nothing more than to reach out and properly thank these men for showing us what real humanity looks like.

If this was your group, or if you know some friends from Dallas or KC who were on a bachelor trip in the Tetons this past weekend, please send me a direct message. Thank you so much.

What do you like about living here? Do you live here by choice?

Admittedly, I have had a hard time seeing how Idaho Falls could be an attractive place to live in, especially with very cold and windy winters and the heat in the summer. People are friendly though. I appreciate that part.

Does this look like an active beaver dam to you?

Was out looking for beavers in the forest and found this. Admittedly I arrived at the wrong part of the day (mid day, when it was somewhat hot) and didn't see any beaver but I think I found the dam? I'm just unsure because these are so huge and neatly organized that it seems man-made, but maybe neat and organized is their MO.

What caused the demarcations on these aspen tree bark?

As a photographer, I am always drawn to textures and patterns. I saw these aspen trees with various "scars" and am wondering if anyone knows what causes them?

What do you think it was?

This was stuck on the grill of my car. What do you think it was? Beautiful red colors.

What is it and what is it doing?

Who is this excavator and what's it doing? I watched it dig what looked like the start of a tunnel. Later, it moved quickly to scout another spot and start to dig through another. Maybe it's trying to connect two "ends" eventually to make one long tunnel underground? What caught my attention was its rather loud vocalization. I traced the sound and eventually found that it came from this guy.

Is this Old Man's Beard?

I was walking along Deschutes National Forest and saw a bunch of these hairy fibers dangling from what I assumed were pine trees. Is this the stringy lichen, Old Man's Beard?

Flesh fly (I think)

It was huge, loud and I found it somewhat obnoxious. But then I realized that since it wouldn't go away, I should find ways to enjoy its presence and learn about it. I do that through photography.
