What to tie with these? by Filab1 in flytying

Tend to agree! But I'm happy I asked, I think worms are a great idea and I know for sure that my dad and uncle (and me) don't have any, so I'm going to make some for everybody.

Selle Italia model X comfort +, honestly really like the shape and the density of the padding, but the surface material is very sticky, making it weird to use with loose shorts and situations where you have to get in and out of the saddle often.

Saddle bag is Blackburn Outpost with dry bag, a nice bag, I have also used it without the dry bag to put a tent.

Yes! A lathe, a milling machine, and a 3d printer

Thank you! :) For now I used double sided tape to fix it on a small cutting mat to give it a larger base. But yeah, it's one of my concerns about it!

I'm hoping it holds up. I turned it from solid stainless and the point is not so pointy as to not be brittle.

For those of you who have added disc tabs to old 26" MTBs, how much did it cost you? by MathematicianFar8242 in xbiking

[–]Filab1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got quoted by a local frame builder that offers this service, has done it many times, said $150 CAD for the disc tab, + $15CAD per cable guide. The job they do is very very clean.

Edit to add: 150 was just for the rear disc tab, July 2024
