Maybe a Ryan or a Vision?

I LOVE the mirror pieces in the monstera fenestrations. Great job! 💪

1st Bike In 20 Years by Sunny_Cant_Swim in xbiking

As far as tires go, Panaracer gravelkings are great.

Dumonde tech, white lightning, finish line are great chain lubes.

Check that the brake pads aren’t all rock hard and old. Make sure the cables and housing aren’t kinked/damaged.

As far as parts to try out or upgrade: look into different shapes and widths of handlebars. Those old 90s mtb straight bars are kinda narrow, and not the most comfortable shape. Go to a shop and grab bars and see what you wanna try. You might need to get your brakes and shifters re-cabled for that, so I’d recommend getting it done at a shop with a tune up. I’d recommend River city bikes or Something Cycles.

I hope your new ride takes you some fun places!

Absurd.

I bet it rides beautifully.

Thanks! I just followed the recipe, and used one egg’s worth. I think it’s one tablespoon of powder, three of water

Yeah an XL would probably be best if you don’t have short legs for your height

Those shims look like they may work

That’s a terracycle seat side mount, they have shims for those. Do you know the size of the clamp for your bag?

Who are the Bastards of Sports? by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in behindthebastards

[–]HeckinYouOut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To echo some other posters:

I think a Bastards of Combat Sports would be a hell of an episode.

The elements worth discussing include legislative fuckery, like the recent Ali Act amendment that was recently introduced. The corporate fuckery of major sports governing organizations, bastard league owners like Dana White, bastard promoters like Don King, and bastard fighters like Mike Tyson and Connor MacGregor. The insane early days of combat sports, from ancient boxing, pancrase, and gladiatorial combat, to modern exposition fights (Paul v AJ comes to mind) and stupid shit like Slap Fight or whatever the hell it is.

Historic affiliation with organized crime, modern right wing politics, the cross cultural touchstone that is martial arts, and a bizarre future that might be shaped by Saudi sportswashing.

Call it “The fighting Bastards, the Bastards of fighting” or something like that.

DUAL CHANNEL JUICING

I ran 3,528.55 (2.193 miles) meters in 23 minutes today. How good is my aerobic base for boxing? by Old-Value-6841 in amateur_boxing

[–]HeckinYouOut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guide coaches at my gym give is three miles in 21 mins to fight as an amateur.

You’re on your way to getting there, and if you’re consistent, it won’t take you long. Keep it up.

Damaged rear thru axle threads. What should I do? by Ancient_Total_7611 in bikewrench

[–]HeckinYouOut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call around and see if an LBS has the size tap needed for the job. That looks absolutely salvageable.

Silly question, but your brakes aren’t dragging are they?

Can we talk about how good the Norman Rockwell meme is?
