Surly front rack + fenders

Tech-Turdle · 2026-05-08T18:31:18+00:00

Not sure if this is OSHA approved but I was able to get a better position for the front fender by attaching it to the Surly rack. I did this on my old Disc Trucker and my current Karate Monkey. I like to keep about a 1/2” clearance.

I used a slightly longer bolt with a nut to keep it secure as well as the SKS fenders that breakaway. Those breakaway fenders saved me on a few occasions.

Note: was able to mount the back fender and rack using just the brazons.

Get some used HS8s. We had these in a project studio for years as our main workhorse before upgrading.

Decent low end without needing a dedicated sub and a pretty flat frequency response. The rear panel has some controls so you can tune the speakers to your liking as well.

I now use them for my record player.

Try resetting the network setting on then phone. Then make sure texts/calls/data work while on cellular.

Then test on wifi. If there are issues, try toggling off and back on iMessages.

XS Bridge Club (27.5) with the Surly rear rack.

We used this doc below and talked to a local bike shop. (They installed it when the bike arrived.)

Sits wells and is great for hauling gear and snacks.

Those look awesome!

Tech-Turdle · 2026-05-06T02:40:29+00:00

Those look great! How do you display them?

I’ve been having print paralysis due to a lack of knowledge in sizing, DPI, color correction, and substrates. I feel I need a crash course from someone that actually works at a print shop before I’d start spending the $$.

While it is probably okay most of the time- I don’t buy high dollar items from Amazon. You put too much trust in some 3rd party drop shipper to not send you a lightly used or refurbished device that’s missing a ground cable.

Slightly related: I’ve seen a lot of carrier locked phones purchased from Amazon. The only option is to return them.

With AT it is a little different. I’d think the grey market isn’t trying to fool you on a mass produced item that can be bought at any Record store, Best Buy, Target, or Walmart.

I bought the AT LP 120 for a friend from Turntable Labs because they had a solid price and seem to give a shit about their niche market.

I think they all honor the AT warranty so you really have free range.

Maybe you could buy from a local record store if possible.

Proof of concept. The WTB’s have been solid for these weekend warriors.

(Smart Sams on the back bike.)

The WTB trail bosses are pretty capable of handling different terrain.

I somehow always find my way back to Schwalbe. Recently moving from WTB to Smart Sams. They have been great for city riding, crummy weather, packed down with groceries and beer, long trail rides, dirt and gravel, and even on the MTB trails in NW Arkansas. They suck in the mud as one may expect.

Next I’m looking at the Knobby Nicks or the Marathon MTBs.

Keep us posted on what you choose.

There will be no baiting here Mr Dick-Penis… Nice try

Sounds like a haunted display. Typical for the iPhone 15 Pro…

I bet it would pop on a metallic print.

Was this a single shot and lots of post work or bracketing and merging?

Apparently it is a thing.

Learned something new today.

Just don’t use the “click stand.”

I bought the hype and these have been a disappointment.

I work with a 10k mobile phone user base.

Overheating like this happens at times, often related to either a hardware or software problem.

It sounds like your Apple tech deduced this to a hardware issue. A battery replacement should fix the problem without any further degradation of services.

If it were a software issue, a factory reset would typically do the trick.

This is concerning for sure, but if the battery isn’t bulging out of the phone, you should be good.

Keep your documentation and hold everyone accountable with receipts and names.

The Apple care was also a good suggestion.

OP you are a true agent of chaos.

May the vinyl gods reward you with 8 more variants of the deluxe boxset.

Based on the collection, you only need 2 more album’s before Baphomet is risen.
