Polygon Siskiu D6 upgrades?

Polygon Siskiu D6 upgrades?

I have a Polygon Siskiu D6, i think its a 2025 model but dont know for certain as i bought it «used» (unused but 2nd hand) for 400$. Bike fits me perfectly and i really like the riding position but i absolutely hate the stock SR Suntour fork, its a coil spring fork with 120mm of travel but i cant seem to get it adjusted to my liking and its sloppy/has a lot of play.

Its mostly stock except i swapped out the tires and went tubeless, swapped the pedals for raceface chester, swapped the brake levers for Shimano MT201 levers and i’ve swapped the handlebars to better suit me. (Picture is from the day i got it, bone stock in the picture).

Since the bike only cost me 400$ and fits me so well im willing to spend quite a bit on upgrades so lets say the budget is 1000$, what should i upgrade for the money?

Chiappa 1886/71 risk of Out Of Battery detonation?

I know the 1886 (and model 71 that most/all reproductions are based on) lacks the lever activated trigger block thats present on the 92 and 94, anyone know if the 1886 is susceptible to OOB detonation? I know that the bolt is all the way forward during the very last part of the lever movement where the locking lugs are lifted into place and this is where im concerned about possibly bumping the trigger and dropping the hammer before the gun is locked.

I commute on my mtb all year, worth buying higher end bearings for better weatherproofing?

As the title says, i commute year round on my Siskiu D6, its a budget bike and some of the bearings are creaking/ticking (steering and crank) and im guessing its due to road salt and grime from this winter. Anyone got any tips for good quality sealed bearings that might resist the elements a little better? Or should i just prepare to replace the bearings umpteen bazillion times and buy cheap bearings?

.460 Rowland +Peak?

Its been a long lasting itch of mine to build a 1911 in .460 Rowland but now with this new fangled +Peak stuff, i took a long toke off the good ol’ crackpipe and started down the rabbithole of making custom tungsten parts to add weight to the slide and barrel (normal 6" barrel + tungsten bull barrel sleeve with integrated compensator and a 6" slide with a reverse recoil spring plug made from tungsten), 28lb recoil spring, Rowland V2 recoil buffer, swuare bottom firing pin stop and a heavier mainspring (anyone know what the heaviest 1911 mainspring is?). End goal is a 1911 that might cycle 45 Super, will cycle 460 Rowland and maybe even some form of Rowland +P if its ever possible to make cases from +Peak [something]. What say ye? Send it?

Marlin 1895 straight grip stock upgrade? Also front sight options?

I have a 1st gen, 1997 or 1998 production 45-70 guide gun, its got a straight grip pain jane wood stock and the blue is immaculate but the wood is kinda letting it down, i’d like something that looks factory but is oiled and maybe a slightly fancier wood. Any suggestions?

And my front sight is loose, thinking of swapping the front sight if i can find any decent options.

Problems with low sex drive and erection issues due to chronic illness, how do i make sure my girlfriend’s needs are met?

As the title says, i have struggled with erectile dysfunction and low sex drive for a few years due to chronic illness, things just took a massive turn for the worse and one of the results from that is that i am no longer able to get even the slightest hint of an erection, nor do i have any sort of «physical» sex drive, no orgasms, not much of anything really, mentally i still want to but my body doesnt respond.

My caring and amazing girlfriend is maybe a bit too caring in the way that she very clearly wants/needs sex and she is extremely obviously bursting with horniness but says we dont have to if i cant/dont want to/dont get any pleasure from it. How do we best approach the fact that i *want* to pleasure her even if i cant orgasm or have penetrative sex? She seems to have adopted the stance that she shouldnt enjoy sex if i «cant» and while its done with good intentions its doing the exact and absolute opposite.

As the title says, my girlfriend has PCOS and is really worried about her possible inability to have kids. Her family has a long history of PCOS and trouble with fertility, for example her parents tried for years before giving up and then they suddenly had her.

But what can i do to comfort her? I really want to help her in any way possible but i (a male) am really lost here.

As the title says, my gf LOVES doggy because it hits all the right spots during penetration and she can use a vibrator at the same time so its really easy to achieve good orgasms. I love it too because its great to see/hear/feel her orgasms but i struggle with keeping my erection in doggy because i lack the feeling of intimacy that you get when facing eachother, i get so turned on by eye contact, kissing and touching and theres none of that to be had in doggy. What can we do?
