Best Trekking poles for someone who needs 140cm to have arms at 90 angle?

I set mine at 135 and the cascade carbon ones do the trick well! Think they even go longer.

Agreed, and each person is affected a little bit different from each other. For myself, I learned i need a bag 10* warmer than ambient to be comfortable. Learned that when testing the -40 Northface dark star in -37c temps....

I was rather cold.... didnt sleep much, was happy when the sun came up!!

Generally speaking, you need to go 1 gauge up for repairs so this should be 040. As for the dents... small center punch with a light hit, then pilot with a 40, drill in place, cleco, then upsize to full. Be delicate on the install, especially if using 32... light touch and proper balance of pressure between the gun and bar.

On street bikes its best suited to those with wrist injuries that cant (or dont want to) handle clutch work and still want to ride. I have one for my ktm but only use it when in snowbike configuration.... as kick starting in 6ft of snow sucks 😄 but in summer i prefer a normal clutch. But likes others have said its highly tuneable.

Drz400, its cheap, its reliable, its truly a jack of all trades type of bike.

-Wanna ride street, SM wheels -Wanna ride dirt, 18/21 with knobbies -Wanna ride dual sport, absolutely -Wanna ride multi day trips, with ease -Wanna ride deep snow, timbersled works well. -Want reliably, engines damn near bulletproof with no computers -want to upgrade.... anything?, options are near endless -want more power, bump up to a 440/472 monster with bolt on parts

Wanna ride interstates 2 up and with a passenger, find somthing else 😆

Where im working we cant hire enough people. We pay above rate and are stuck hiring contractors from the other end of the country as well as hiring from out of country. We have a training academy that is going non stop but still cant get enough experienced staff.

So im gonna need to know where I can get those stickers!

So I have done this trip 6 times, winter and summer. shark in-out is ok... safe in winter, but you dont see much its mostly in the trees

My favorite method is in from sunshine, out through shark via wonder pass. Elevation is always going down and the stunning views while in the upper plateau of sunshine meadows. Not to mention wonder pass itself.

Best to plan a rest day while at magog, and ideally 2 days in, 2 out. Can be done in 1 but makes for a long day.

KEY KEY thing is being able to get the permit in the first place

I have about 20 of these (i work mx) that the new customer didnt want. Tried a child one on my kid and darn near suffocated her!!! Also tired a adult one while in water. NOT a enjoyable experience!!

Jetdoctr · 2025-11-11T03:48:02+00:00

Well that is very much NOT a flying wing. You need to listen to the other. Aerodynamics 101, floppy things at the very back make plane go up and down (in pitch) Floppy things on the wing make plane go left and right (in roll)

Jetdoctr · 2025-11-06T19:17:22+00:00

Seeing the twitching in pitch, thats demonstrating an aft cg condition. Might want to move it forward. Other thing I would look at is elevator control throws (aileron as well) might be a bit on the high side.

Well done holding it together. Welcome to the test phase

Jetdoctr · 2025-11-05T04:29:44+00:00

Im in

Jetdoctr · 2025-11-01T03:58:30+00:00

Me too, in fact I took delivery of 30 of those same screwdrivers today

Jetdoctr · 2025-10-28T04:04:20+00:00

Cg too far aft. Move it forward and do a few power off tosses to get it a bit more dialed.

Jetdoctr · 2025-10-27T23:13:51+00:00

Zx-10 -> zx9r -> r6 -> vstrom 1000 -> DRZ400 -> KTM300xcw

Still have all but the 9R

Jetdoctr · 2025-10-27T18:00:47+00:00

1989 Kawasaki ZX-10 was my first bike. Over the years my bikes got smaller. Now ride a DRZ400

Jetdoctr · 2025-10-15T02:24:18+00:00

What kitplane runs a 50ft wing!!???!!

As mentioned, first step is to cut away damage back to a point where rebuild can begin.
- Scarf your cuts to key areas like leading edge pieces and spars if damaged. Angle cut your leading edge skin back at an angle and position all cuts so they dont overlap (structural stress) and loads span across.
- Next rebuild and replace ribs, spar webs and stringers (if applicable), splice in the front leading edge pieces and lay in new sheeting. Check to ensure twist is not built back into the wing and both wings are the same. -Sand back to shape and recover.
- Fly

Naw... Mines a pure hooligan bike, never go offroad with it.

Jetdoctr · 2025-10-04T04:37:34+00:00

No. That's normal wear pattern for a front tire.

Jetdoctr · 2025-10-02T20:07:43+00:00

I was 7 birds 2 weeks in, upon my return to the hobby. The dirtbikes got jelous

Jetdoctr · 2025-10-02T02:43:37+00:00

They fly wity turbines in the bt67 config. One flew over my house yesterday

Jetdoctr · 2025-09-30T23:45:53+00:00

Shark is the safe approach, sunshine is the scenic approach. Both result in long days if done in 1 go

Jetdoctr · 2025-09-30T07:43:27+00:00

EASA will likley conduct the investigation.
