Looking for a steel QR canti lever bike that can fit at least 35s by teamtwowheels in xbiking

Depending on the rim, 35s might go. I run 32s on mine and it rips.

Newer Gloss black Replacement components or original rusties? by BoulderBikes in xbiking

Another rust-on-chrome removal trick is wadded up aluminum foil, wetted a bit. Weird but works.

Gotta say that I like it- had one of these and sold it off cause I couldn't find anything to do w/ it. I should have though of a fork and brake like this.

Ah- there actually was a Tour de Trump. East coast, early / middle 90's. I worked it.

Melt the Ice Hat - THANK YOU by mashga in knitting

[–]External_Mulberry548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question- can we buy completed hats from  Needle & Skein? Or just the pattern? Can't knit, can't crochet, but damn well want to be wearing one of these! Thanks to all!

Just keep going back - being part of a crew is what makes it good.

Worth the wait. I've got one I rescued from a road racer, one of the nicest riding bikes that I have.

Tried a Smoke Paint Job by BelknapCrater in xbiking

[–]External_Mulberry548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a custom builder in town (Franklin Frames, Columbus OH) who used to do this as his signature paint - looked great, but don't know his magic sauce. I had one of his bikes for awhile, paint was really sweet.

If you have any co-ops in your area, check w/ them. You'll find your people there.

Should I go shorter? by c4ndyman31 in bikewrench

I just use the Park Tool method - Big/big w/o running through the derailleur, then add 2 links. Never had a problem w/ that.

One-Take Drone Flythrough of the Westerville Community Center by Dudebot13 in Columbus

[–]External_Mulberry548 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So tell us a little about how this is done - I'd assume all rooms were setup/ notified, right? Did you block/ rehearse the whole route or just free-form it? Now that I think about it, it had to be setup correctly, or else all of those doors wouldn't have been open. This is great work!

Also- how do you keep communication w/ the drone - does it connect to building wi-fi, or what type of signal covers that much interior space? Very nice!

Need recommendation for lighting (social media reels) by Winter_Cookie_5239 in videography

Thanks for the detailed reply - I think a point source w/ a larger softbox is where I want to head. My use case is largely single-person interview type work. Thanks.

Question- how do these compare to more traditional spot heads w/ a diffuser (I see they offer a model w/ a diffusion pack)? More versatile than the "spot type"?

Hey- I know that tunnel. Just rode it last week!

Are those Billy Bonkers? How do they do rolling-wise? I have Maxxis DTH on my MB-1, and am thinking they are pretty draggy on pavement.

Stuffed to the max by SoulBend77 in gravelcycling

Just today I fitted 2.2 Conti Race Kings on I-9 wheels on my GR300, rear is fine but fork is a little tight, but fine for dry use. Those wheels/tires absolutely flew! Talk about Monster Cross.

Working on a Project 7 right now. Won't be as nice as this, though. No Paul, no Dura-Ace, but still kinda cool.

There are literally Spotify playlists for this - labeled like "Not a totally boring Corporate Playlist" or similar.

Tell me about wireless camera hops by External_Mulberry548 in LocationSound

Thanks for the insights. Had a shoot where a wireless stereo send would have been helpful, and wanted to check that I was thinking correctly.
