I noticed a conflict of interest in the very first quote. 🤔

I’m strongly considering getting an e-moto trials. Because it’s the same as an ebike. Better yet a moto trials bike with its own built in genset. All the range. Ride further. Ride more. Ride on.

I got on the NF DP3 pant program a few weeks ago and some of the hemp tees. I had the same hang ups about the stretchy no adjustable waist. Yet at 1.75m and 80kg the mediums just fit myself perfectly. The wide waist stays put and keeps my muffin too on check. I wish I hadn’t held out for so long as the khaki colour from spring was straight fire. I’m looking at the Bezerker for real wet weather and road cycling wear rather than paying the Squamish GTX tax. 

Picked up 5.10 Trailcross Mids so I’ll try the flats program again this fall/winter/spring. 

Looking to replace my TLD A1 and this fit pending this Oakley helmet might take the cake. Although the Giro Tyrant is up there as well.

Some nice looking bike tools coming out now. 

I’m after that Leyzne chain Plier next. 

Just got a Wera Bike 1 this week.

Ha. I’ve had a similar experience. 

When’s the last time you’ve done a rebuild on it? Mine was 500km before needing a rebuild. ¯\(ツ)/¯

9Point8 has the best head game in town. That 4 bolt system means tilt and clamping are independent. Stack height be damned. Also allows for a quick and easy top up of the air cylinder

I often wonder if I’d rather have my dropper lever on the right and shifter on the left?

Just had the pleasure of scrolling past their “North Shore chamois” ad on FB.

I demo’ed the first 29er Slash 9.9 at Crankworx a few years ago. I took it for a Garbo to village proper shakedown. I was in the 29ers are awesome camp then and that proved my theory. 

The fool that I am only rode the M size and not the L size as well. which ended up being good as I ordered a G16 instead of a Slash. I wanted a longer FC and steeper STA. Retail frame pricing was about the same. 

I feel slack STA, small reach, short CS are a byproduct of bike bicycle. This bike not only needs to sell in PNW, Euro Alps, Killa Cali and Enduro heads worldwide but also Mid-West USA and Prairie Provinces where almost all should be on a Fuel EX.

Unfamiliar with the brand name. Wondered if it was a RuRoc or any of those janky ski goggles ads. 

The only SS I’ve ridden was the Schwalbe Rock Razor 29x2.35. It was okay. I’d likely just get a faster rolling traditional tyre than another SS. Unless it was for an XC bike. Actually now that I have a pedal bike besides my Surface I could give one another go. 

I’m pretty okay with running 2.3 DHRII F/R and rotating the front to the rear when I get a new one. 

PS I’m currently running a lot of Michelin tyres as of late. Rock Razor2, Wild Enduro F. Have a Wild Enduro R and Wild AM to try out soon too. Thinking of trying DH22 for winter. Ran the special addition Schwalbe Tumourous Tammy on the DH bike

I’ve also got a set of those.  They are excellent.  Top rated noise cancelling chip.

Yeah only downside would be the lack of waterproof rating, but that comes with a reduction in sound quality IMO. 

Also have the ISOTunes OHSA compliant headphones for earring protection. 

Sony’s were top rated and half as much as the troublesome Bang and Olfsen ones my coworker has.

I’m using the family account for Youtube Music. But I’ve been with them since the Google Play and Songza apps so I have many playlists saved from way back. 

I really enjoyed the “Time of Day” and “Mood” playlists Songza used to offer.

I found my Xterra Off-Road to be a great snow vehicle. Especially when heading off the pavement. 

Chains sure help too.

I picked up the Sony WF-1000XM/B ear buds. 

I was skeptical about a Sony item but they’re actually really nice. USB-C charging of the case. The app is free and has many features including the ability to deselect what touching the earpiece does.

You'll have to leave the vehicle using with the radiator cap off in other to get the air out.

Lol no idea what you’re trying to say. but yeah I removed cap on rad and resi and slowly added coolant as the levels would drop as the air was bled out.

It was $17 for the Thermostat and gasket. 2 10mm bolts for the housing. Plus a jug of coolant. 

The rad fans are cycling on and off now  

In cabin air is still blowing cold. 

Return hose to top of rad is getting hot now. Inlet hose is cool. 

There’s definitely a bunch of air in the cooling system now. 

As I’m typing this out the inlet coolant hose is still cool. Return hose is warm. Cabin is warming up  

Idling at 1/3 temp gauge. 

Thanks for not forcing myself to join a Honda Civic forum all who helped. 

Too bad Adam West wasn’t able to see the bat signal. Lol

I definitely inhaled much vaporized coolant over the past few days so +1 for that.

Tailpipe= headgasket.

Engine bay= thermostat

Thanks. 

I’ll go get a thermostat tomorrow.

White out of the tailpipe or engine bay?

Could be a few different things, like the thermostat if it isnt pumping steam out the tailpipe

Honestly seemed like it was coming from the engine bay rather than the tailpipe. As the cloud seemed to be coming from mid body rather out the back. 

But saying that if there’s a head gasket leak; wouldn’t the combustion pressure bleed down into the cooling side and cause the coolant to vent anywhere it can? Definite spray out of the rad filling area. 

I grabbed a jug of coolant and a new rad cap yesterday evening. 

I’ll see about a Combustion Leak Test ASAP.

Grow your own habaneros, ghost and grim reapers in the summer.

Jesus this took a long time to find!

So anyway...

Driving home today in my 2004 Honda Civic 1.7L I hit the gas pedal and white smoke starts puking out of the car. At that point I notice the temp gauge is really high. I pull over pop the hood and can see coolant sprayed over the passenger side of the engine bay. I let the car cool down then drove it home. 

Once home and cooled down again I started the car and let it idle. 

The car idles smoothly, the coolant temp started to raise slowly and constantly on both the gauge and OBDII tool. 

I looked around the coolant system to see a spraying leak but unable to locate one. 

The electrically driven rad fans haven’t turned on while it was idling in my driveway. 

The heater while on full and hot and with A/C on and off is only blowing cool air. 

I checked the rad level and added fluid to the resi tank. 

My best guess is the leak is coming from the rad cap or from the resi tank cap  

•I don’t have access to a Combustion Leak Tester Kit 

•I pulled error code 

P0117 

Engine Coolant Temperature sensor - Low Input 

_____________________

•The white smoke and spraying of coolant leads myself to believe blown head gasket  

•The fan not starting leads me to think it’s a blown fuse

•The temp not increasing leads me to believe it’s a thermostat.

Is the ECT sensor the thermostat? 

What’s everyone’s thoughts on this? 

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅🎄
