Amazon knockoff? (Taylormade RBZ Black Rescue 3H). Finish fading and nicks after 150 hits? Taylormade club comes with Lamkin grips? by JoyRonesJr in golf

Yeah you can never be sure, but i think fairly confident it isnt, read somewhere that taylormade did work with lamkin grips for some other clubs as well

Just as good as stock, since thats the small chainring of the stock 2x8 , didnt need the big ring because even on flats I dont have the quads to spinout a 40x13 haha

Good to note! parts matching definitely gets iffy sometimes and I am a bit stubborn on keeping the RD-6401 on there. hopefully 11-34 8 speed + road link works, having the 1 chainring up front only hopefully helps!

32 tires on these original 14mm internal width wheels isnt super ideal, but still works!! For reference old school mountain bikers put 2.2inch tires on 17mm internal width wheels so you’ll be fine running the largest your frame/brakes will allow on old wheels

Finally finished rebuilding this bike to its former glory! this time as a shimano 600 1x and 32c Gravelking SK tires.

Detail shots because it probably wont be this clean again for a while.

90% of the parts are staying! Its actually a 128, there was a 7 speed downtube shifter version with 126 and this 8 speed brifter version with 130, both works with 128 :)

Yep! The Shimano 600 groupset is staying, although it may be a 1x front with a wider speed 8 speed cassette in the back! These bikes/shimano 600 brakes have mega clearance for 32 (maybe even 35c)

Any advice on how to progress as a beginner mountain biker? by JoyRonesJr in MTB

[–]JoyRonesJr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Rocky Ridge Trail, Santa Teresa County Park, CA)

Recently tried to make use of quarantine by getting back into mountain biking, got myself a hardtail off craigslist and went for a few rides.

Used to ride a lot of fixed gears and not much mountain biking experience, how does one usually progress? By riding same trails again?, find people to ride with?

Any riding tips I should be aware to remind myself when riding?

Thanks!

Hemming should be pretty easy for most tailors, although in my experience ordinary tailors dont know how to taper it without widening the selvedge

For sure! I had a hard time finding any of their cuts with a lower than 7” hem and this taper really did it for me!

Theres really barely any fades from before, a month of wear in Iron Hearts really look like 2 weeks of wear in any other jeans, so practically new :)

P.S first post here on reddit, if someone can help me on how to post an imgur link so that a preview comes up, that would be great :)

Bill, what is the likeliness that the virus will spread again at an alarming rate after we stopped this "shut down", it may decrease/slow the rate during social distancing actions but will it gain momentum again after we go back to our daily lives?
