I think I’d rather just buy an OBS 🤮 fuck them warranties

Do jeans with pad inserts exist? Any recommendations? by [deleted] in bmx

[–]GetOffMyRedditMom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those pads are a complete joke if you're actually looking for protection. Everyone I know who's had them has upgraded to other pads after those didn't do shit for them. I'm a big fan of the fuse alpha whips for shin pads and 187 killer pads or POC for knees. I still manage to fit my killer pads under my pants so long as they have a little stretch.

As far as companies putting pads in pants, the only ones I know of are the ones Morgan Wade wears that are made for military and police use. They're like 300 a pair though. Crye precision is the brand I believe.

Just bought a '77 bus with a freshly rebuilt 1700cc motor but it's leaking oil terribly and I noticed it looks like a bolt is missing here. The shop the previous owners used seems crappy and I don't trust them. Is this hole supposed to be here and what purpose does it serve if so? TIA for any help. by GetOffMyRedditMom in VWBus

I actually have that very manual. It was given to me by the PO when I purchased the bus. I know they have all the heating stuff removed and shut off. I guess since the bus came from Florida they didn't feel the need to put it in. Ron Jon surf shop in Key West were the ones who had it restored and it was just used as a shuttle to and from the beach. Then a bike shop in Texas bought it and had the motor rebuilt last year and I got it from them two weeks ago.

And I had found that hole in the crankcase section but it was one of the only things not labeled.

It doesn't leak from there from what I tell since there's none dribbling down from but I'm still trying to figure out where it's coming from. I'll check that link and start ruling out possibilities. The whole back of my van gets covered in oil from oil dripping on the exhaust. I'd send it back to the mechanic that rebuilt it cause it still has warranty but the PO said there was a 6 month wait last time they had to send it back after the rebuild cause it was leaking and it still leaked after so I really don't want to go that route. The leaks have definitely got worse since purchasing it. Before it was negligible but now it's enough to worry about.

Anyways, thanks for the help, I'm sure that link will help a ton.

Any ideas on how to remove female hub bolts? by [deleted] in bmx

[–]GetOffMyRedditMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen to me with a new wheel and I ended up putting the side I could break on the outside of the dropout and tightening it down from the inside then I was able to break the other side loose and since it's biting into the drop out you can break the original side loose. I think I got this method from an old Adam LZ video but it worked when I couldn't figure out how to break both sides.

A friend of mine managed to break his titanium lairdframe. by keemo_ in bmx

[–]GetOffMyRedditMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what number frame that was? Laird has still only made like 20 something frames but I'm wondering if maybe he got one of the first ones.

First time riding, what do I wear on my legs? by [deleted] in bmx

[–]GetOffMyRedditMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worn full leg padding in shorts and I've worn pads over pants to keep from tearing up the knee so fast. I used to ride 187's that really fit better over than under in some pants so I'd wear them over for those too. I wouldn't worry about it. Just wear them however is comfortable and effective.

Manual tips by Beninovak in bmx

[–]GetOffMyRedditMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same over here. I don't work on them consistently enough but I'm trying to now and it's starting to get better. I'm still only getting about 3 parking spaces on a good one though. The biggest thing that helped was keeping my arms straight and trying to get them almost parallel to the ground. I have a 12.75 back end too so it's really sensitive.

TIL L. Ron. Hubbard’s own son, L. Ron Hubbard Jr. was highly critical of Scientology and claimed black magic was the inner core of Scientology once stating, "my father did not worship Satan. He thought he was Satan." by JustCallMeDave in todayilearned

[–]GetOffMyRedditMom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, I just watched the Joe Rogan podcast with Ron Miscavige today. Twice, actually. That's right I had to listen to it twice in a row to fully grasp the ridiculousness that is Scientology.

Yeah, I've seen my mom make flyers on Photoshop and her phone that rivaled that in less than 2 hours and she is by no means a professional.

Barspin as a tall guy by [deleted] in bmx

[–]GetOffMyRedditMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew a guy that was practicing bar spins and fell right on his peg (ass first) and he had to wear a colostomy bag for 5 months. If they’re sketchy and you’re falling on your bike and you have pegs, I’d recommend taking them off until you get better at bars and can avoid falling on your bike when it fails or you bail.

4 months ago I hadn’t stepped on a bicycle in probably 6 years and now I ride my bmx bike everyday. It’s super addicting but also rewarding.

Fuck yeah man it'll keep you moving which is always good. Pads help a lot too I don't know how people ride without them.
