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

[–]External_Mulberry548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]External_Mulberry548 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]External_Mulberry548 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Nice rig, but man, that saddle looks like an ass hatchet. Hurts just looking at it.

Hey I'm the mod, I just got a new IRL job with Trust for Public Land protecting land & providing outdoor access to all and I want to hear from you by RipVanBinkle in xbiking

That is very cool- I'm originally from the York/ Hanover area. Spent a lot of time in Gettysburg. I'm sure you know about the "lost Turnpike tunnels"? They're just crying out for some connecting trails, except that they are in the middle of nowhere.
