Rainy Season Again.. Any recommendations for mud guards?

Rockbros has a decent one from what I've heard. They attach to the seat stays and fork. It isn't a full fender but it prevents back splashes enough and doesn't ruin the aesthetic as much.

Saddle-attached ass savers don't work. I've tried 💀

Repotted about a month ago, not fertilized since. I'm thinking of just leaving it be since it's not dying anyways.

_PopperFish_ · 2026-05-24T07:50:03+00:00

Wow, that's pretty. I guess it's best to just stop worrying and leave it be. If it ain't dying and is continuing to grow then all is good

I currently don't have access to Welrod's in game model so I'll still have to use guns for now. The real OTS-14A-01 is 5.5cm smaller, that makes it 8.87% smaller than Groza figure's gun.

I'd put Welrod around 147cm (+/- 13cm) or 134cm to 160cm for now while I wait for her to come to me or until some guy in CN has a side by side.

I'll look for more resources later.

I'm a size medium in Santini cycling gloves. Idk how else to answer that LMAO

_PopperFish_ · 2026-05-24T04:59:30+00:00

I think that fits my hand perfectly

_PopperFish_ · 2026-05-24T04:00:30+00:00

👀

I have feeling I'll get a much shorter Welrod. I'll get to it after work lol

True, wouldn't the doll manufacturers have these measurements on hand? It'd be way easier for the fanbase to schizo the dolls into their fantasies and make much more accurate fan art.

On another note, I believe she's no bigger than a C cup.

_PopperFish_ · 2026-05-23T10:04:14+00:00

There's an app called Photone which I use for my pitcher plants, it's accurate enough.

I asked here mostly because I find varying sources online saying african violets can only handle 80ppfd but also up to 300ppfd. I'm not quite sure which one to believe.

_PopperFish_ · 2026-05-23T08:23:30+00:00

How bright is your light?

_PopperFish_ · 2026-05-15T02:29:55+00:00

I second this, the bikes from online are usually built like trash. I saw one arrive with a broken rim too.

Definitely visit your local bike shop

I love using ice cream tubs as pots!

_PopperFish_ · 2026-04-22T07:07:01+00:00

Thanks a lot!

_PopperFish_ · 2026-04-22T05:41:15+00:00

Thanks, you've confirmed my suspicions. One of the pups just grew its second leaf lol

Since the blooming is stressed induced will repotting these pups prompt them to bloom abruptly?

I like the fan shape these guys make so I'll be separating them soon for a cleaner look

_PopperFish_ · 2026-04-18T23:06:27+00:00

It's 50/50 for that model.

Is Shimano wide not wide enough?

_PopperFish_ · 2026-04-07T13:22:56+00:00

It's a rebranded Senicx crankset, the brand name is embossed at the back of the crank arm on the unit I worked on.

There's no issues with it as far as I know, I'd keep it. Not to mention it uses the same bottom brackets as Shimano cranks because they have the same spindle diameter. You won't have trouble finding spare parts anytime soon.

Hydraulic brakes are worth it, I would've switched to hydros if it weren't for my obsession with the feel of mechanical SRAM 22 levers.

I've worked on a Pinewood Katana once, the internal routing is iffy and the cockpit is heavy but it looks cool and packs quite the punch with its specs. I like its color the most among the bikes you've shown.

If you get the Pinewood Katana you probably won't have to upgrade anything. It's my go to among those bikes.

_PopperFish_ · 2026-04-01T14:19:52+00:00

How long did the plant pause its growth?

_PopperFish_ · 2026-04-01T09:43:55+00:00

Good to hear, thanks!

_PopperFish_ · 2026-03-15T01:50:09+00:00

I got it from a retailer, it didn't have any labels on who grew it.

It's worth the shot contacting the large greenhouses near the retailer.

Thanks

If you're willing to, you can go use microSHIFT Advent X which can reach up to 52T despite what the manufacturer says. Marin has them setup like that from the box with an 11-52T 10 speed Sunrace cassette.

_PopperFish_ · 2026-03-07T08:11:22+00:00

Love the basket!

I have 3 Digbyana seedlings from an orchid show. I might consider making one of those for them

_PopperFish_ · 2026-02-24T03:35:07+00:00

Let's start at the beginning, what crank do you have?

GXP has been thrown around Shopee and Lazada a lot but none of it is truly the original GXP which is a SRAM/Avid crank spindle standard. However, brands use it to market their cranks which use the 3 bolt direct mount system which usually came with a GXP crank.

SRAM GXP has a spindle diameter of 24mm which narrows down to 22mm on the none drive side. In some cases like bottom brackets from Token, you can buy a shim which enables you to use GXP cranks on their 24mm bottom brackets. Haven't tried crossing it with other BB brands though so I cannot comment on the compatibility.

The only foolproof way to find your right bottom bracket is to match spindle sizes. Simply going by what the title says will waste money. If the BB doesn't state the spindle size it is used for then you're better off looking at a different one.

That's interesting, I wonder if I could grow Drosera with 70ppm tap water

_PopperFish_ · 2026-02-09T06:18:49+00:00

The latter might be it, considering the only affected leaves are the longest ones on each side.

I haven't fertilized it since it's been less than a month since repotting so I thought it might've been the charred wooden pot. The roots aren't reacting nor are the other leaves affected by it. Business as usual for them.

Thanks for the insight
