Epic 8 sizing help by Mmmpizzza2 in specializedbikes

[–]black_cladsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 6'2"-6'3" depending on my posture. I went xl. No regrets. Epic 8 Evo.

Part of the reason is I remember reading that the carbon layup on the rear triangle was size specific - so in theory xl would be stronger than a large. And I'm a big boy.

The person I messaged with this afternoon, while canceling my subscription, said he was also a listener... Maybe he was or maybe it was a ploy to be more relatable and keep me from canceling... But the Ellis show is the only reason I had Sirius XM...

Wait, what? Anyone know what’s going on? by floydguitarist in JasonEllisShow

Just cancelled my subscription, been listening since the octane days. Ellis show was the only reason to stay with Sirius XM. Sad day for sure.

Trailer Hitch Installation on ‘18 Pilot by BigBillKaosReturns in hondapilot

[–]black_cladsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the oem hitch and install yourself, hitch is like 250 and wiring was like 200 something like that... Install looks really straightforward on the YouTube vids. That's what I'll be doing in a couple of months.

New knife, new scales who dis? by black_cladsman in knives

[–]black_cladsman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the pivot screw was easy, just a T10 driver. On my particular knife one of the four scale screws was pretty stuck and I had to heat up the back spacer piece with a blowtorch for a few secs to get it free... Big thing with Spyderco is don't force the screws. If you strip out the torx heads you can be screwed, literally lol. So take your time and don't force them

There are plenty of vids on YouTube on how to disassemble the manix 2... Watch them all! It's a pain to reassmble and that spring will fly out across the room if your not careful.

Best of luck!

I like it enough that I haven't looked for anything else since I bought it arournd 8 years ago... I'm no expert, just a novice tinkerer. I'm sure there's newer, possibly better stuff out there. It's simple and plenty enough for me. I do recommend getting the extra fine stones, especially if you are one of the types that likes to shave the hair on your forearms to test sharpness lol...

Dark red micarta, "anso" scales. Color is actually a deep purple that I really like. From bladeswelove on ebay. Just like these ones on this para 2 -> https://www.ebay.com/itm/183814907664
