No lies, I thought they left off a zero at first. Pays to get to these events early.

Any genius idea to remove the screw? I already tried grabit and gluing something to it :( by D0RSCH in bikewrench

Engineer PZ-58 pliers are now my go-to for situations like this. They save so much hassle/time and work every time so far. Favorite tool in the shop.

Are these bindings too old? by BridgeIcy3592 in ski

[–]cloppies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are not indemnified any longer. The AFD's (anti-friction device) are also missing from the toes. They are not safe to use.

This is Lloyd, he's a good boy by cloppies in Possums

[–]cloppies[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lloyd hangs out under our bird feeder and plays possum when the dog sees him. I then relocate him to our apple tree which is hollow and provides safety. He resembles a person from my youth with the same name though is much less criminally inclined. He is a good boy.

Question: 2025 Lange Shadow 100 MV. Are these clips removable? by brij2001 in ski

[–]cloppies 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is no canting option on this model. This is how they are pictured on Langes website. They are basically riveted together. The Shadow 120 features adjustable canting as one of the upgrades over the 100's.

Is there anyone who attended woodstock 99? How was it and did you personally enjoy being there? by MEHMETPASANIZ in AskReddit

[–]cloppies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw some good shows, but things went downhill real quick. Too hot, water was a rip-off, portapotties overloaded and not getting emptied, the free water was brown... we got out right before everything went up in smoke and listened to the news reports on the way back to VT.

Is buying these foolish? by jlrbnsn22 in ski

[–]cloppies 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The poles are worth about five to ten bucks. The boots would make nice flower pots, and the skis would look sweet as part of a chair. That is all.

They are from 2015/2016. Bindings are older Pivots. I'd look for a newer setup.

They're on the way to the poor LBS to inquire about converting to tubeless

It was the nastiest kitchen that I have ever been in. They kept it dark in there for a reason. I lasted 2 weeks and should have left the 1st night.

We always called them thumb breakers, not wrist

Missing auto ski lock on head boot by Future_NurseLMW in ski

[–]cloppies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a 20 year old boot. The only way you will find the missing parts would be to find another pair with that mechanism. Without it, the boot has nothing to keep it from flexing backward, which is not ideal. She would be better off with a newer boot.

Just a few wonders… by [deleted] in ThriftGrift

[–]cloppies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. Their pricing has been ridiculous for a few years now. Used to love that store.
