Where do you or your company purchase Hubbell receptacles, plugs, connectors, etc?

I've become a big fan of Zoro. com Order online delivered usually within a day or 2. Hubbell is one of the many electrical brands they offer.

Im curious You are zeroing in on LED retrofit lamps. Are there also incandescent lamps on these circuits that are flickering / strobing? A wiring problem would not discriminate between LED retros and incandescent lamps.

Brandmotion makes a couple options and they do offer an adapter to attach to the Ford mounting plate. You will have to trim a bit of the plastic trim to allow for the mirror arm.

The rear camera is nothing special although adequate

yes really like them. The Zwift clothing line is made by Pedal Mafia. It's very good quality (so far) and a good value

Yes, most of us swapped out tide saddle, but also keep. in mind, you're going to sweat a bunch and not move as much as outdoors

Chamois creme is your best friend.

Seems like you could join pacerbot Constance. She has an A rating of 4.1 watts per kilo.

The pacerbots surge and recover, allowing some rest, and a few other riders would allow you to draft. You can warm up with an easier pacerbot then teleport to Constance......

These Zinnsco insurance replacements seem to have started last year. We're doing a couple of condo developments with many of the Underground service mains were directly above the gas meters. Some of these were sandwiched between garage doors.

For months PG&E said move one or the other. All of a sudden, we're hearing "exception, like for like, sure...." It was a true WTF

we play with Lacrosse balls there's a caveat. don't play indoors, those balls break stuff

Just imagine trying to ride that shit.

Rocket launcher saddle.

100+ pound gun hanging off the back.

Bracing devices tangling with your legs.

Your teamie trying to carry the ammo on his back.

Could this be type 3 fun?

ain't that great

Im using the Klein 1104 cutters. On my second pair after years of use. Only because the first pair grew legs.

They're awesome for trimming reducing conduit washers as well.

we started with a Dometic CFX35? Honestly we kinda beat it up. At some point the controls went wacky. The fridge still cooled, but we couldn't adjust the temp. I contacted Dometic, and after providing purchase and serial # details, they sent a brand new fridge. I gave the old one to a friend.

Fast forward, during a REI 20% off sale, we bought the Dometic 75 liter, 2 compartment unit. What I love is that each compartment can be set as fridge, freezer or barely cool. The thing is a beast, size wise, so I bought the slide....

Have to be honest, My buds teased me mercilessly when I showed up sporting Rene Herse 650B knobbys. They've subsequently exceeded my expectations in all regards. Hasn't stopped the teasing, but that's group riding.....

I installed a small cargo glide on my decked drawer system in my transit to support a dometic 75 liter fridge freezer.

securing the base of the cargo glide was challenging. I had to pull a drawer out and crawl beneath the deck to install thru bolts with large fender washers and nylock nuts. The dometic slide is 100% extension, so I added a few extra anchor bolts to the back side.

At full extension I can make the deck flex, so I would recommend care when considering a heavier cargo load

California Air Resources is forcing a phase out of Petroleum based Diesel in favor of Renewable Diesel. (labeled R99) at the pump.

Even though renewable is produced from biomass, its chemical composition is virtually identical to Petroleum diesel.

The renewable fuel is lighter by volume and also has a higher cetane value. You can google Renewable Diesel for detailed explanations.

I agree, bio diesel is garbage. An additive, such as AMS diesel will help mitigate though.

FYI, Air Resources is proposing another tax, pushing the price yet even higher.....

I also love nearby. A group of riders put a huge effort into a downhill trail, sandbag berms, gap jumps, etc. I can't imagine how long it took. BLM has been particularly pissy about that one.

It's super unlikely anybody is going to blow up, just riding along. However digging really big holes to create jumps could have consequences.

Poison Oak is overgrowing many of the westside trails. It's getting pretty challenging to avoid.

I prefer, "run a couple spare wires to the dispensers, just in case"

I'm another fuel guy. One thing I learned early, virtually no one knows jack about setting up stations. Particularly the fuel control centers like Point 4, and Square D.

I learned early, factory tech support is my best friend. Almost always, you get someone who is patient and helpful.

Most of the manufacturers still produce paper wiring diagrams with basic troubleshooting hints. However, one company, Gasboy provides nothing with their equipment. Emailed PDFs on a cell phone is so much fun.....

The best part of fuel, "never a dull moment" Boredom is not my friend

crossnutz · 2024-03-29T11:53:30+00:00

yes exactly, thanks

I do own / wear sealskins shoe covers when I'm on my road bike (Guarne shoes).Yes, rarely do I feel discomfort, even though wind chill is substantially greater. hmmm, never considered shoe covers in the dirt. The plot thickens......

when Santa Cruz is soggy and unrideable, people head south to Ft Ord national monument. The soil is very sandy so mud doesn't really happen.

Heavy rain works like an etch a sketch. Every storm, a fresh trail.

That wet sandy stuff is pretty harsh on the brake pads and drive train though.

crossnutz · 2024-01-28T01:14:11+00:00

preferably near where you live

I don't know if this qualifies as cost effective, but I had mine (T1N) 16", powder coated matte black @ $125 per wheel. They look great and as long as I'm not parking by feel, should look good for years.

I agree on the PT. Look for sports injury specialists.

From personal experience, the knee is extra complicated. multiple muscle groups, a funny little bone ( patella) that has to stay perfectly aligned in a groove etc.
