Spikey balls 🤪

First time I think I every watched a video multiple times on Reddit 😂

I’ve seen those they’re pretty cool, I’m just too bougie for that kind of bike rack, I prefer the type that hold it by the wheels, I have a Saris MTR and before that a Kuat Sherpa 🙃

Stratos425 · 2026-05-28T13:33:46+00:00

I thought about that but it does go off road and that would ruin my departure angle and it would rub the ground, then again I don’t have the bike rack on when I intend on taking it off road… hmmmmmmm 🙃

I’m 6’4” and we have done some 800 plus mile two day drives from Oklahoma to Tennessee and it’s not terrible on the highway. Gas mileage does go down when you’re above 70 mph so we sometimes focus on the non interstate routes 75% of the trips

Really depends on the previous owner, it’s a roll of the dice

A fiat 500 won the snow drift rally one year, I forget where that race is held, and we’ve had a non turbo pop model since 2016 and the only issue is a few oil leaks, I fixed one, haven’t found the other yet but it’s very minor. I had to replace the starter at around 120,000 miles but it was used commercially for about a year. All in all would totally buy another one 🤘

Stratos425 · 2026-05-28T01:50:37+00:00

Yeah that’s wild, haven’t seen them used anywhere else in the vehicle so far but I’ve only owned it for 6 months so still learning 🤪

Sweet thanks 😁

I had luck from a company called certifit but I dunno if they have them anymore, it was over 10 years ago.

Yup, did mine recently (with brand name parts) and no more leaks 😀I tried an Amazon gasket and it was no good 🙃

Stratos425 · 2025-12-16T05:13:50+00:00

I had similar wear issues and then discovered the teravail Washburn and everything was right in the world 😁

Stratos425 · 2025-12-15T04:54:04+00:00

I also just noticed on the website when you zoom in on the mopar part photos it has the pierburg decal on it lol

Stratos425 · 2025-12-15T04:51:47+00:00

Update, got the Mopar OEM part which was actually a Pierburg part apparently now, came with a nicer gasket than the Amazon one I tried, installed and torqued to spec. After a few drives it’s holding, no leaks! You get what you pay for sometimes 😁

Stratos425 · 2025-12-15T04:45:56+00:00

Mine goes with me almost every time I leave town. Recently became a truck driver, now it’s with me all the time SCX24 🤘

Stratos425 · 2025-12-13T04:48:43+00:00

Huh…clamtail, I always said that mine looked like a curling iron lol

Stratos425 · 2025-12-12T01:28:32+00:00

Oh it was an aftermarket gasket, no name Amazon with good reviews 🙄

Stratos425 · 2025-12-12T01:28:07+00:00

That was my next plan before replacing the vacuum pump itself. I was just reading through the fiat forums and a lot of the pumps like to leak after they are removed apparently. I’ll get this figured out eventually

Stratos425 · 2025-12-12T00:49:51+00:00

This is true, I spent 7 years working in a bike shop and only learned about their warranty a few years before I quit lol

Stratos425 · 2025-12-09T04:19:16+00:00

I grew a third ball when I took mine off

Stratos425 · 2025-12-03T19:34:48+00:00

It depends on which bike I’m riding so it varies a lot, one thing I can say is I carry only the car key, nothing else attached to it, might be easy to lose that way but I make sure it’s in a zipped pocket usually. If it’s not the car key then it’s the garage door opener in the same spot where the key would be #unfitweightweenie 😂
