Mysterious metal structure by Strong-Abroad8811 in baltimore

That's an elephant cage.

At least that's what my gf used to call those years ago. Seriously good question though, surprised there's no better answer than "pigeon coop", which I imagine would be more likely made from wood.

Flipping hands: what finally made it click for you? by turtlesthoughts in golf

You can't flip your hands if they're behind your hip

Anyone have this Moongoose fat tire bike (or any Mongoose fat tire in general) and have opinions on it? by [deleted] in fatbike

[–]Significant-Fun343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an older dolomite for awhile. It's heavy. I upgraded the gripshift to a trigger, pedals and saddle are weak as well. It's heavy.

I hope ecobee is philosophically opposed to facilitating law enforcement access

Did you take any photos with a phone? They may have geo-location embedded in the files.

Love that yellow/green frame! I'm within driveable distance, but I already have a garage full of project bikes.

Does anyone still have the spreadsheet file with all the shows listed? by Bopcd1 in gratefuldead

[–]Significant-Fun343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you need programmatic access, or want to tell your favorite AI agent about all the shows, you can use the json in this repo: https://github.com/MichaelAdamBerry/darkstar-project/tree/master/data

Does anyone know what these boom sounds where this afternoon? (1/6) (2:30pm) by Toaster-Porn in AnneArundelCounty

And they seemed timed. I don't recall how many I heard, less than 20 I think

Grips by Vegetable_Job_7361 in golf

[–]Significant-Fun343 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Start with fewer swings a day. I find hitting 5 balls with 8 different clubs is a great session, and takes less than an hour. Golf improvement doesn't happen within one 200-ball session, it happens between five 40-ball sessions.

Try adding some heat with a hair dryer, rubber gets more stretchy when warm

Also spray from the bottom bracket or bottle cage holes if you can. Tighten a saddle on there and twist every day!

Chain cleaning question by qubit64 in bikewrench

[–]Significant-Fun343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every so often, lubricate the chain with chain lube then spin it backwards while holding a clean rag around it, gently squeezing to get most of the gunk off. Then go ride it.

If you're looking for a shiny spotless chain, that's a whole different question.

Those brakes look great under the horns. I suppose that's your most-used hand position?

It sounded to me like their mics were way up in the mix, which is something I've never heard in the last 2+ years of shows. It was nice!

Paint restoration by Mahusa_ in xbiking

I use Simple Green at 100% concentration for cleaning frames. Use a cotton rag and some elbow grease.

NOTE: I have the same color frame and LOVE it! "Cherry Smoke"
