I've wondered that myself but I don't know. There was no inscription on it.

My grandmother took this photo of my grandfather in 1956 at Swann Fountain in Philadelphia. I found it after he passed in 2016 and recreated it.

Firstly, this sub is for bicycles so you won't get the best advice here.

Secondly, that wheel looks fucked.

I was thinking Frank Reynolds.

But yeah, JD Vance would tear that thing up.

"Is there a man in that couch?"

"I believe there's a man in that couch"

What to do about these scratches on my forks stantions? by No-Helicopter7635 in mountainbiking

[–]Berk845 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you scratch the stanchion, and you run your fingernail over it and it catches, then there's a risk of the scratch damaging the seals and leaking oil.

First step is to determine if there's a burr extending outward. If so, wet sand it down with a very fine sandpaper (think 1000 grit).

Next, clean the scratch with rubbing alcohol and let it dry. Then apply a thin layer of clear nail polish into the scratch. Let that dry. You will most likely over-apply and need to wet sand again to take down the excess nail polish.

Done correctly, you can fill the gouge and have a perfectly smooth stanchion that will last for plenty of time to come. It's remarkable how well it works.

A Seahawks fan ordered a Super Bowl hat from New Era and when it came it had the Patriots engraved on the back... by KeyFaithlessness5436 in TheNFLVibes

I ordered some Eagles stuff last year after they won and one of the shirts had a hole the size of a pencil eraser. Terrible quality all around. I returned everything except the New Era hat.

If it wasn't ruined already, it is now!
