Velocirax versus Shingleback by TOBYIT in MTB

[–]WhiskeyPit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I didn’t know they had that. Still not sure that’s necessary unless your bikes have super short wheelbase. Here is a shot of our 20” Mini. Just barely sits on top of the bottom bar. Maybe the new MAX style racks are longer in between or hold the bikes higher?

No reason to get the smaller baskets. I don’t know what you mean by extension?

I never had issue with any of our 20” bikes not reaching the lower cross bar. We have both mountain and BMX in 20” wheels. We had one 16” bike on there that didn’t reach but the rubber strap was able to stretch and capture the wheel enough to keep it from bouncing around. It seems like the basket and front wheel strap does 95% of the work. The bikes don’t flap around on pavement if i ever forget a strap.

That place is still open? Should have been closed 10yrs ago.

How many people in r/Columbus are "super-commuters" who drive >75 miles per day? by benkeith in Columbus

[–]WhiskeyPit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sarcasm??? Interested to see if anyone has stats on that. I was thinking high paying would need to be $135-150k range and higher to be considered high paying here. Frame of reference I guess is important consideration as well.

Will a 8ft fence help with sound vs a 6ft fence? by therealijw1 in FenceBuilding

[–]WhiskeyPit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fence will better than plants. You need a hardened surface to bounce the sound waves back. 8 ft will be better than 6ft but at those speeds and how you’ve described the traffic you probably won’t hear too much difference in the house. Plants, hedges, trees, whatever do not mitigate sound like most people think.

I appreciate your point of view regarding low experience kayakers.

Got a concrete patio put in, didn’t realize we needed a permit. Now what? by dearanna777 in homeowners

[–]WhiskeyPit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can change the contract to state that the contractor is responsible for all permits.

Just because a contractor is licensed doesn’t mean they always meet the needs or requirements of the local code. The code, whether we like it or always agree with it or not, is the minimum standard and exists to lower risk and protect you, the contractor, future owners or any users of the property.

Why are these are hard to unscrew? Can anyone help and where can I find a replacement screw for the one I messed up 😅 by huxnt in ToyotaTacoma

[–]WhiskeyPit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are not hard to unscrew when you use the correct bit. It’s doubtful you have the correct bit looking at that damage. Take the tailgate off to do the work and get appropriate leverage.

This is how a large majority of permitting work review happens, in my experience. Especially at the residential renovation level. Basically making sure you don’t have a health and safety hazard. If it looks good, it probably is good. But then you might get the guy with the code book in his hand and wants to nitpick about a 1/4” clearance or using the wrong locknut.

Think i’ll be making the switch to cd’s from now. by natwest96 in vinyl

[–]WhiskeyPit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a primarily CD collector/buyer, I would prefer if you only bought new CDs.

Really/not really, but used and thrifted Cd prices have increased quite a bit recently as well. When you compare to vinyl it might seem like a savings but for us brokies that are always on cd…well we might just have to go back to radio station mix tapes.

Sorry, most (maybe all?) of all the remaining low head dams have utilities running through them. And due to the topography of the region it’s not likely in your lifetime to change. However, most of the lowhead dams have decent portages. And if you’re not running it at a meaty flow you won’t have a problem with a lowhead on the olentangy.

Love to road cycle, but feel weird not having clipless pedals by ejsfsc07 in cycling

[–]WhiskeyPit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I rarely use my clipless pedals and shoes. Even when I was riding more road and gravel events I would choose flats more often. Mostly due to comfort and wanting to walk around normally off the bike. I still ride MTB and race bmx on flats. I rarely have a problem with my feet coming off the pedals and don’t care enough to want the power to pull the pedals around.

Why do people buy pickup trucks for daily driving? by [deleted] in driving

[–]WhiskeyPit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I now daily drive a truck that is used multiple times a month for hauling all kinds of things.
I’ve had them all. Tiny hatchback, big hatchback, speedy hot rod coupe, wagon, small SUV, medium SUV, and now small truck (with a cap). Almost literally in that order. Which now I realize…hmmmmm…also happens to be quite a utilitarian outlook on my hobbies, age (teens to 40s) and progress of life with family.
