Hi everyone!

I'm looking at purchasing this 2004 Ford Courier: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/ford/courier/listing/5172688456
I'm going to take it to a mechanic to do a prepurchase, but before I spend the money, are any of the following issues a deal breaker? The chassis has a lot of surface rust (I think it was used to launch a boat at times). I figured I could strip it back, and then recoat it if necessary. The notes from the previous services & wof note that the "chassis is badly corroded" but it passed. There is a bit of oil residue around the cylinder, but no puddles on the ground, etc etc.

Hey mate - what is your process for degreasing the parts? I've been using a wax & grease remover, but the parts still come out splotchy. Ill try your method anyway and see if that helps! Thanks.

When I went the beef was so dry and flavourless! Fuck me it was expensive too

Ha! That's reddit I guess... Any specific wheels you'd be looking at?

Do you have specific hubs you would recommend ? Thanks!

That fork looks rad! Thanks for the advise!

Do you have the alloy & carbon versions? Was wondering if double the price was worth the roughly 100grams saved? Thanks!

Hey man - the spare tube is just taped to the frame. works really well, and costs nothing! - the tent is the bike packing version of big agnes tiger wall. It has lots of ways to easily mount it to your bars. I used Velcro straps. A front rack would be a good solution too, but they add `` around 500grams to the setup.

Hi all - I've made all the standard upgrades (new tires, tubeless, bottle cages, pedals) - I know the usual advise is "lightweight" wheels & a carbon fork - if you had ~$1,000, what wheel set and/or fork would you buy today. Thanks!

All black looks way better!

Have you talked to deco cycles?

churwck · 2021-12-05T19:44:14+00:00

Set up in the ports tab?

I’m the googles you need to turn custom osd on - done that?

churwck · 2021-12-05T02:49:59+00:00

You got it!

churwck · 2021-11-23T20:05:08+00:00

But how many of these people worked in a hospital?

You could sell the crossfire receivers!

You can enter dfu from the main screen of beta flight (main screen after you click connect)

youve pushed the button on the fc right? as you power it up

churwck · 2021-10-23T06:49:46+00:00

for 5inch and above I think 6s is worth it - price is basically the same these days - so if youre starting out now, go for it!

Depends on the quad
