even if you don't fall there are always trees to bounce off, I still got a set of 661 2x4's  for wrist to above elbow protection, the lycra sleeve & straps keep them in place, 661 axo dualies for when my foot gets caught between a rock & a hard place

"The bro brah look of sneakers with minimal socks,"

now days I just give credit to any kid who grew up & was smart enough to finally  do up the laces

Wow, I'm gona take all the dishes out of the DW and wash them by hand

I been using Squirt for a couple seasons, it seems to work well and be pretty clean, best not toleave it in the shed to freeze over the winter or it will thicken up but if that happens you can just thin it out with some water

back in the mid 80's mtn bikes came with shitty 1.5 tires, I think it was cuz there was less duty on bikes made in Taiwan with narrow tires so when I bought the bike the store swapped them right away and  gave me credit on a better set of tires ... might be a better way to spec a bike

the  Fox  seat post on my 5.5 was creaky from day 1, I tried lube but it still always creaked, the key was to clean off all the lube and use carbon paste

I did my 5.5 Yeti with a roll of 4" 3M from Lordco, used water in the spray bottle with some soap and 25% alcohol, I popped air bubbles with a pin and squeezed out the air. I  wrapped the top of the toptube the bottom of the down tube in the places that are most likely to get hit, wrapping the stays is where some of the curves down under the swingarm don't look great but you don't really look at that. All in all for 22$ it worked pretty good and looks fine, I think a hairdryer or heat gun  might have helped make the more complex curves ...definatly a thumbs up

Back in the day I met a certain local character at a demo so i asked buddy where he was making his bikes and it was Taiwan so why not Canada?

He told me Taiwan is where its at cuz the best welders are there the best factories are there, he can hop on a bike and ride up the street a few KM to find components or tubing factories or anything he needs ... its all right there  

and the beach was at the other end of the street

the guy who told me this^^ was a bike tourer who had done 8000km in AK & northern BC  he was on a bike with a der and his partner was on a Roloff ... said you tell coasting down hills

looks great but I wonder what compromises in chainstay length/placement there would be in the BB area that were eliminated by going with 1x ?  Also someone mentioned drag going down hill, I've been told a Roloff hub will have noticable drag coasting downhill compared to a traditional der setup?

But did you use lordco tape to wrap the bike first ?

Thanks synchro I had no idea some cars used mineral.

Heads up that the drugstore stuff might be thicker than you, 

I sense you don't actualy have anything to add

It was back in the day but I've seen drug store mineral oil fack up lever return on Shimano

Used to be a mass shooting every day ( > 4 people ) this is  just life in the USA getting back to normal after Covid

they kinda know who lives where or whom they will encounter just hearing the address of the call come in cuz they are dealing with the same 30 people in this town, in a place like PG its the same 100 people

That’s fair, but in a place like Minneapolis?

Anyhow this is way off topic.

I think you would be suprised, if you ever hear the term " known to police " they got known cuz the Po-Po were talking shop at your local Timmy's ho's

Not that I condone anything but consider Gaetz comes from a culture of successful old guys hooking up with and/or marrying teenagers so from the perspective of lots of folks down thar maybe the optics were not so bad ?

maybe you could give  us a sign when what you are posting is bulshit,or do we just assume its all bulshit,just so we don't misunderstand you ?

Carnac the magnificent always did

you realize one no longer needs to text the HD mechanic or the blues player ?
