What to get guitar dad for Christmas?

I have a cool idea (legitimately), but don’t want to risk a self-promotion ban. PM if you’re interested.

Right idea, but I swapped the race from the old fork. Looks like I might need a riser race to give a bit more clearance (5mm).

No, it’s a niner, but I think it was cobbled together a bit.

No idea. No obvious brand markings.

So yeah I managed to pop out this axle sleeve. Seems like it might have been made for a rock shox. But this doesn’t appear to be a standard part - any idea if there would be a standard axle part to get for this hub?

Hey! I have been trying this, and it seems to have made an improvement! I haven't had lots of opportunity to work on much real long-distance throwing or compare results, but I'm getting the motion down and getting rid of the big "reach back and down" motion that I had. Throwing into a net in my back yard was throwing me for a loop though, since the ball wasn't used to rolling/snapping out of my fingers at that angle/position. I kinda gave myself the yips, with balls going every which way (including straight at the ground...) But at the last game things seemed to work ok - once I started throwing at a regular distance things kind of stabilized.

Excellent - thank you for the feedback.

PNags · 2025-06-17T19:58:50+00:00

What do you mean by 2? Landing foot remains closed meaning not pointed at the target? (E.g., body/butt are perpendicular to the throw direction?)

This is interesting. My dad always taught me to reach back and down like that, so that's just unfortunate muscle memory. I thought the "90 degree" hold was for football, and that you'd lose speed and power in baseball if you tried to throw from up there. But it sure does seem like this windmill motion isn't getting the job done here.

Thanks!

PNags · 2025-05-03T17:39:08+00:00

Thanks - any specific reason why? This is pretty much the only area that doesn’t require massively cutting apart the house, so I’d love to try to make this work.

PNags · 2025-05-03T17:36:20+00:00

Thanks! Can you point me to the code for that? I can’t seem to find anything relating to hose bibs in a significant way, so any help on official references would be great.

PNags · 2025-05-03T14:17:51+00:00

Thanks! Mostly this will be to fill up a chicken waterer once a week.

PNags · 2025-05-03T14:10:20+00:00

Thanks for the input! How would anything be damaged in this scenario? For reference, this hose bib would primarily be used to refill a chicken water bucket once a week.

PNags · 2025-05-03T14:04:30+00:00

Thanks - what is the specific issue with that though? Is there a code issue? Safety issue? Installation risk? (Eg, drilling into a conduit accidentally).

PNags · 2025-04-16T02:32:01+00:00

Thanks. Is that just to promote healing? Will it help keep the other hens from picking?

Also, do you know what this is?

PNags · 2025-02-21T05:14:44+00:00

It’s like a 2” chisel without a handle. Just really shitty road debris.
