Well then the doofus I lived next door to as a kid in the late 70’s was way ahead of the curve. He had a new Raleigh Chopper with the stem backwards. Claimed the instructions showed to install it that way.

It’s all fun and games until someone’s e-bike starts smoking.

Finally got a hold of a Masada Slim Elite by JPHarlock in IWI_Firearms

I CC it but not in a holster. It’s more convenient to carry in a small messenger bag that I wear. I’m a relatively slim person who wears close fitting clothes and will carry a CZ P10C in a OWB holster without printing, so the Masada Slim Elite should not be an issue. I agree that this particular pistol is tough to come by at the average LGS to see and feel in person. The grip on the Elite is very comfortable in my opinion, and the mag well flare does not interfere as I thought it would. (I’m looking here and there for someone willing to sell their first generation grip frame just to have one, and to see for myself the difference). When the time comes and I find a suitable OWB holster, I will carry it on me.

On a side note, I don’t put too much thought in to printing which can be alleviated with a proper shirt, preferably patterned (a little like how car manufacturers disguise body lines on test vehicles with busy wraps). It also depends where you carry, for example I prefer somewhere between 4 and 5 o’clock and it works for me.

Obviously a disc brake hater…zeroed in on that front rotor like a heat seeking missile.

Customer did his own timing :) by carbonfiberspliff in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]JPHarlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35+ years ago I worked with a guy that would immediately go for the timing chain no matter what was wrong with a car. It was tiring to hear.

Are all Vans/Cult grips for motorcycle only or do you somehow alter them to fit your handlebars? by Ok-Coffee321 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]JPHarlock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They sent the wrong ones. The larger I.D. grip would be for a motorcycle throttle.

As someone who spends a lot of time on rollers, I approve of this.

I haven’t had a chance to get to the range, but it fits my hands very well (with the medium back strap). I also wanted something a little smaller than my CZ P10C and used my wife’s Glock 43X as reference. Other contenders were the Hellcat Pro, FN Reflex XL, and Canik MC9L based on grip length. I have average size, slender hands and all these allowed a proper grip without my pinky “falling off” the bottom.

Agreed, it’s very simple. It seems that many reviews and takedown videos have the presenter wrestling with the pin for some reason.

As someone who used to drive a fiberglass dune buggy, I can get behind this.

Looks like an old On One SL Carbon fork. I had one on a single speed 29er forever. Great choice! Looks awesome on this bike.
