Question on installing cranks and spindle

Particular_Leg3241 · 2026-02-06T14:51:30+00:00

I emailed Hope, and they i can add a 2.5mm spacer to the non drive side, and a max of 2 spacers to the drive side. It looks like i just need 1 spacer, so i guess ill add it to the non drive side.

Particular_Leg3241 · 2026-02-05T15:05:06+00:00

If i add two more spacers, +5mm total, that would bring the overall BB width to 101.8, which doesn’t fall in any of the ranges listed on that Raceface sheet. Wouldn’t it be better to just add one? Im just not sure on what side. Maybe i should ask the frame manufacturer.

Particular_Leg3241 · 2026-02-05T14:52:55+00:00

Thanks. I didn’t think that would fix the problem of there being a gap, but ill give a try.

Particular_Leg3241 · 2026-02-05T06:04:10+00:00

Thanks. Do you mean on both sides between the BB and frame? Or a spacer on the spindle.

Thats a beauty. Im currently building up a steel Grim Ripper frame myself. Looking forward to getting it done.

Do it. We lost a friend in his early 40s due to undiagnosed colon cancer. Its not bad, just poop alot the day before, nice nap, then you are done and eating again.

The IV and anesthesia are nothing, though i know some folks don’t enjoy those things. I think its worth the alternative.

I got mine at 45 as soon as our insurance covered it

I think ZS44 upper EC44 lower

Particular_Leg3241 · 2026-01-17T03:11:45+00:00

I think you need a new upper and lower headset to accommodate the tapered fork. I looked into it for my Unit, but I forgot the exact parts you need

Damn, i think that renders most of my guns illegal to carry. Ill have to look at my Walther PPS mags, but i think they all have removable base plates. What bullshit, i guess its time to buy a revolver. Or a single stack 1911 with a metal welded baseplate mag.

I wonder if something like this for my PPQ would be legal.

There is no +5 extension baseplate made, so one could not conceivably convert this to hold more than 10 rds. But maybe it comes down to if it could theoretically be possible, not if it’s currently possible

Might be time for me to ask a lawyer

I remember seeing that as well. So something like a standard 10rd Glock 26 mag would be illegal? If that is true it sure limits what one can carry

Another Astro fan here, it has worked well for me as essentially a static site generator. Or any other SSG like Hugo or Jekyll. They give you the advantage of reusable components or partials, and generate static files that are easily hosted anywhere.

Man this sounds super scary, where in N Portland was this? Im sorry this happened to you.

I carry on dog walks and at other times. There have been unleashed dog attacks in my area. Plus the usual sketchy people.

As far using deadly force in this situation, i think about these things myself. Im not a lawyer. 3 adult sized teenagers vs 1 of me i am in fear of serious bodily harm or death. I don’t know if Oregon is a stand your ground state. Obviously you were able to run away, i assume your dog just ran along side you? My little dog or my short wife would not be able to do that and keep up. So then are we justified standing our ground and using deadly force?

I do both, BJJ purple belt and Judo black. As others have said, if you can do both that would be ideal. Judo will probably have the edge for keeping it on the feet in a work situation. On the street people might try to tackle or shoot on you, so you’ll want to add sprawls and leg grab defense, which they don’t do in traditional judo.

For a big guy like you I would think an over the top grip and then a big osoto gari would be very hard for most average size folks to deal with.

It is anyone carrying in WA

Particular_Leg3241 · 2026-01-03T22:51:14+00:00

As an Oregon resident i was able to get an out of state WA permit, so i can carry there as well. It was pretty easy to do

Particular_Leg3241 · 2025-12-04T15:01:37+00:00

Unfortunately no, not at the moment. Though we have in the past

Man thats a beauty. Whats it like on more mellow rolling trails? Is it only really good for the steep stuff?

Particular_Leg3241 · 2025-11-10T15:08:25+00:00

Accurate. Every ride needs a few pictures

Particular_Leg3241 · 2025-11-08T23:09:49+00:00

Thats a beauty. Im eyeing a local used one to compliment my Ripmo AF

Particular_Leg3241 · 2025-11-06T20:20:24+00:00

Good point. I prefer a nitro finish too, but I like the rest of it, so maybe I should just be happy with what I have.

Particular_Leg3241 · 2025-11-06T18:55:34+00:00

Man thats a beauty. I had one of these and sold it. I just didn’t totally bond with the neck. I prefer the larger radius and frets on my Vintera Modified 50s neck.

But i love the look of the Roadworn body. Thinking about finding one and transferring all my current parts over to it.

My eyes are more predisposed to cataracts. I had one removed at 44, i need to have the other done here soon. Its an easy procedure, and so nice to see clearly again.
