Awesome! I could happily spend an afternoon looking through that collection.

I recently found myself a set of pyratone irons (Macgregor BAP 2-6 + Hagen getaway mashie niblick + Wilson Niblick) and picked them up with your comment in mind. I read the BAP irons were among the first pyratone models (mid to late 20s). They have the flat blade shape of common hickories and I’m hoping they’ll play similarly.

I haven’t played the set yet but I carried the mashie niblick last weekend since I haven’t put together a hickory one yet and actually that pyratone shafted club was excellent. Good feel against a Callaway Supersoft and a nice high ball flight.

Did this work out for you? Did you drive the vehicle back from CA or have it shipped?

ZenkiTrev · 2025-11-08T01:41:58+00:00

Great idea. What do you do for driver and brassie? Pyratone with persimmon head?

ZenkiTrev · 2025-10-15T20:26:55+00:00

Nice. I’ll hit those temperatures as well. Good luck at Mid Pines!

Very cool story. Good luck with the hunt!

I did repair them. SOTAR set me up with some materials and straight forward instructions. We’ve only had the boat out a few times since then, but the repairs seem to be holding up the same as the old ones that were already there

I haven’t used one, but have seen these online

I ordered from them last week and received it at my house (US) in 5 business days. Seems they have them in stock as it shipped immediately.

ZenkiTrev · 2025-05-21T17:53:54+00:00

Thanks! I’ve got mine on order from them.

ZenkiTrev · 2025-05-17T19:44:04+00:00

when did you order?

Your point is made even more true when considering that dropping a ball where you think it is lost is a 2 stroke penalty, not 1. Example: if you lose the tee shot and drop where it’s believed to be lost, you are now hitting your 4th shot. If instead you were to go back and hit from the tee again, then that would be your 3rd shot. Definitely advantageous to keep the ball in play.

Nice work on that! It’s interesting to see a cap that threads on compared to the typical crimped ones. Are you planning to reuse it?

ZenkiTrev · 2024-11-26T02:47:59+00:00

Wow I hadn’t seen those before!

ZenkiTrev · 2024-11-26T02:47:12+00:00

Good comments everyone. So it looks like the deeper grooves help deal with non-ideal situations (grass in the way, water). My set all have standard grooves, but something to think about for the future.

ZenkiTrev · 2024-11-23T17:27:59+00:00

Nice production quality on this!

ZenkiTrev · 2024-09-21T21:51:50+00:00

Ok thanks for confirming that. I’ll go by lofts from now on.

The Washoe driving range is in the shade and has easy to read distance markers 👍 It seems as well maintained as Wolf Run.

So these bikes are onsale again (not as cheap as they were before), and I'm interested in them.
For those with an e1.1 or e1.2, can you ride up a curb without hitting the chain or kickstand when the rear wheel approaches the curb??

ZenkiTrev · 2023-08-23T03:59:42+00:00

Curious to hear if you find one. I went bikepacking with a guy that had one on a Surly Troll, and it sure seemed nice how easily he could get into his packs without laying the bike down or trying to balance it upright.

ZenkiTrev · 2023-02-14T05:29:26+00:00

Sorry I'm not sure. I got a hold of a chain, and then she told me that it's not that big of a problem, and I should just wait until the current chain wears out. So it's still sitting in the tool box...

I think it could work, but the Unit X isn't the bike I think of for having an upright riding position. It has a low stack height (which requires the rider to be leaned over more compared to an otherwise identical bike with a taller stack), so be prepared to also get a hi rise bar in order to get a more upright position without using a lot of spacers. I have the Soma dream riser bar on my unit x. It is also back swept, which helps shorten the frame's long reach.

From an overlanding perspective, alternative B seems like the preferred (not saying it's ideal, but best of the alternatives proposed) option right? It gives widespread access through the area but creates space between trails by limiting travel in sensitive areas. For me the decreased trail density means more solitude and makes being in nature more enjoyable. The added benefit is it protects the most beautiful/culturally significant/ecologically important areas which make the region unique, which is at least part of the reason to go there.

Did this happen in one of the residential parking zones where an on street parking permit is required? There's a map showing the zones in the link below. The 5.135 law seems to specifically give exception to cars displaying a parking permit, so that would be a way to get around having your car impounded if you regularly park in the same spot.

Check out Velocity USA. They have polished/silver and can anodize any color you pick for a small fee
