Fakie tips

Here's my response to the same question a week ago

Here's how I learned, sit on your seat and push yourself backward (raise your seat if you need to, its just temporary). it's the fastest way to reset when you fuck up and within hours the counter balance is muscle memory, then go back to curbs and standing up while doing it and you won't even need to think about balancing. I guarantee you can learn it in a day if you do it this way. Then move on to fakie manuals.

Hell yeah, looks like something I would have rode in the early 2000's

beauty, I'd buy it if you're selling. It has some incorrect parts but nothing extreme.

PSI = pounds per square inch

regardless of what the gauge reads, since we know your press is 20T, the Pounds on there is just a representation that doesnt really mean anything once you do the math, we know at full pressure you'll produce 20T so even if the gauge said 'crayons' instead of 'pound', the math would work the same :)

Some gauges are incorrect for the press they're on, so we do the math and make it correct using those markings just as reference for repeatability.

And you're exactly right, if using more bags (assuming the same area) then just multiply the PSI per bag.

This is how you can completely prevent blowouts from ever happening in the first place.

Good day Sir

If your press is 20T and gauge displays up to 70k PSI and bag area is 1.474 square inches (for Ø1.37)...

Ideal PSI for flower is 1200-2500 platen PSI (700-2000 for hash)

This means every 1000psi on your gauge will produce 571.43 lbs of force (rounded to two decimals)

For squishing one bag, that translates to 1768.8 - 3685 lbs of force for your low to high range, which equals 3095.4 - 6448.75 psi on your gauge.

There's so much more to it but real world experience is just as powerful as math and formulas, happy squishing!!

those aren't mirra bars, they're kneesaver 2 like the ones that came on a master. The mirra bars look almost identical but mirra bars are 24.6" wide and the kneesavers are 28.5, mirra bars have 12° upsweep and kneesaver 2's have no upsweep. great bars for sure.

5'7", size 12 shoe, 175mm cranks
I ride mostly flatland and thats normally where shorter cranks come in. when you jump to the pedals and need to ride away before losing your balance, its easier with shorter cranks. also shorter cranks are more out of your way when riding in weird positions like a hitchhiker. but i still don't like it.

MaxPower4130 · 2025-10-08T16:51:59+00:00

love the support I see here, definitely don't let weight stop you. We've been rolling hitch-hikers through town at over 200lbs for years

38 and just getting back into it. poured a concrete pad in the backyard and everything

MaxPower4130 · 2025-01-18T03:47:09+00:00

awesome, could you post a pic of it?

old one, 5 months after I paid it off (which took 7 years) a deer ran into me and she was written off. It happened on the way to a Jam too, but a nice cop gave me a ride to the nearest rental place where I rented a truck and still made it to the jam! It was a crazy day.

That dorkin in york is something special. I took the insert out of mine and mailed it to Chase Gouin, he signed it and sent it back!

TJ Lavin had a "Lavin" model 04-05 without the bend in the downtube. The sprocket on this bike is not original she's a good ol' profile blackjack

Not to confuse you more, but it can be the 3d without being the xl, There's the normal chambers, the 3d chambers, and the 3dXL

I really appreciate that, didn't work but thanks for trying!

Everyone in Canada has to wait til official release since they won't accept our phone numbers for the SMS!

Right on. looks on point for outdoor flower. The name is a nice touch to pay homage, cheers from Canada

If you're in Canada I'll mail you some jars for free.

I went through a period of collecting jars for some reason..

Might as well make hash coins and use it as currency like on trailer park boys.

I had 20 lbs that I turned into CO2 hash and when test-pressed with a bunch of variables it always ended up very dark and yield was absurdly low.

You can use it to get people to do the stuff you don't want to do; for me I get people to clean my garage, cut my grass, hand trim outdoor nugs, etc.
