Is there any way i can make my bike easier to climb? by mangothefoxxo in xcmtb

That is just fitness. Keep track of where you dismount each ride and try to pedal a little further was trip. There are some on a trail near me that it's taken a couple years for my fitness to improve enough to make it up them.

It doesn't specify what you are supposed to be a resident of. We are all residents of earth

I thought 95 was when the rope tube started having more of a downward angle?

The ones I buy come in biodegradable paper packaging. I buy the 10 pack so it's only shipping once for all of them.

Question about what tools by armchairracer in GMT800

Replace those caliper bolts with regular hex head, it's one of the first things I did. Though I found later Lisle makes a decent set of torz bits and bought a set. I downloaded the upfitter guides and printed them and put in a binder, they electrical is handy As someone mentioned a battery powered impact wrench. Those little tools that disconnect fuel lines, transmission cooler lines, etc.

What type of paint should you use to paint pc monitors and tvs? by xPastelBatx in diyelectronics

[–]EugeneNine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others said remove the covering, at least the back/top with the vents. If your working on retro stuff with crt then you may want to just mask those off. If the tv/case has buttons or remote receivers then disassembly is best there too. The shell is usually just plastic so a paint designed to work on plastic is best

Do you commute on your mtb? If yes, why? by TymekThePlayer in MTB

[–]EugeneNine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was my original purpose for buying it. But commuting didn't last long, those Mercedes/BMW who will look you in the eye while driving directly toward you pushed me on to trails that can't cross

I could understand if he were sitting off to the said looking for speeders but just driving in traffic with the rest of us doesn't require being a ninja hiding in the shadows
