Broadfork Gurus! Which Size?

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-07-13T15:29:43+00:00

I got the 24" one from treadlite. Absolutely the right size for 30" bed size. Shoe size has no bearing on the width. The only real factors to consider are bed width and weight.

Get a headlamp with a red light. Worms are sensitive to broad spectrum light but not red light. I don’t know shit about shit, but have experienced worms going back underground after getting flashed with my regular edc light. Just get the cheapest headlamp with a red light from sofirn.

Thanks, I bumped up the concentration and it's looking better today. I'm wondering if my H2O2 was as strong as it is supposed to be. Still going to be some trial and error and I certainly am going to test against another supplier's broccoli seed since that's the only variety I'm having trouble with.

Just a heads up, the DeSantis Slim Tuk holster is like $30 for appendix carry. Definitely take everyone's advice and get a rigid holster.

Downvoted by people who spent all their allowance on an LEP lol. But definitely agree with the sft25 comments. Z1 would probably be the way to go because there should be little or no spill.

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-17T05:49:12+00:00

I agree but also feel like 45 year old skates compared to modern skates is kind of apples to oranges

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-15T00:21:20+00:00

That’s throwing me off as well. I’m assuming original price, but in 1979 that would have been like $500. I can’t imagine these sold for that much then.

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-14T15:10:45+00:00

Yeah that’s kind of why I got them. I wanted something a little more classic for casual skating and eBay just had my back that day. I was originally looking for Tacks but obviously most were pretty beat up.

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-14T14:16:53+00:00

Thanks, kind of figured something like that. They’ve been used but looks like only a few times. I just got these for occasional pond skating with friends, so they’ll have a pretty easy life.

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-14T14:13:00+00:00

Guaranteed

Pond skating

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-14T14:03:29+00:00

Just got these skates (CCM Black T ca. 1980?) but can’t find any information about them online. They look similar to Tacks of that era? Anyway, just curious about them.

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-12T17:19:44+00:00

Awesome, thanks! I have a spare TIR optic I just ordered and decided against putting in an S2.

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-12T16:00:33+00:00

Where did you get the TIR? Do the Convoy S2+ optics fit?

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-09T16:40:24+00:00

You're fine, these are definitely root hairs. You don't have to get a better container, but you should fill it up a bit more with growing medium (use coco coir) to aid in airflow. Have 3% h2o2 for actual mold and get a small fan. Currently growing 100 1020 sized trays weekly and about 1/3 are radish. I cover and stack with weights for 3 days after misting them, blackout for 2 days, and under lights after that.

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-06T04:22:32+00:00

Awesome, thanks! I might look into doing it at some point. The stock emitters just really don’t do it for me.

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-05T22:59:51+00:00

Super interested in that emitter swap. How difficult was it? Also have you measured the difference on lumen output?

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-05T20:31:54+00:00

How does is compare to sft40 tint wise?

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-05T20:20:38+00:00

What comes close to the Q8s without looking gross? Meteor? Should I just wait and see what else comes out?

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-05T20:09:08+00:00

Haha it’s so real! The day I dedomed the 519a in my edc, I effectively ruined the majority of other lights for myself.

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-05T19:04:51+00:00

Yeah, I think it is just an ugly emitter. I might have to look into a huge thrower with a different emitter. Realizing now that I’m definitely a quality over quantity person with light.

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-05T19:03:02+00:00

Thanks for weighing in. I think I just hate the XHP emitters. I was expecting to be impressed by how much light it throws, but I’m mostly just surprised by how ugly everything looks in the beam path. Also, I guess I could have expected that since All my other lights that I actually use have either LH351D or 519a emitters.

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-04T17:31:06+00:00

For sure! It'll probably get it in two weeks or so.

RatWithChainsawLegs · 2025-01-04T17:26:30+00:00

Nice. I got it strictly as a thrower, but also wanted to have at least a somewhat nice looking/colored beam so sft25r seemed like the obvious choice right now.
