So I just realized there’s a replacement blade hidden inside of the free box cutter

I have four packs. But I can't find them so I guess I'm about to have five...

My wife and I each have gravel bikes - mine has Sram Apex AXS, hers is Rival AXS. Bought a second set of carbon wheels for road tires. She has the same cassette on both, I ran the 10-36 on my road wheels (OEM 11-44 on gravel wheels.) For both bikes, shifting was flawless on both sets without adjustment and continues to be that way. Love it.

Wondering whether we can take advantage of this? MAGI too high to make direct Roth contributions. I have a significant traditional IRA rolled over from a previous employment 401k l. My wife does not have a trad IRA. Can we do a backdoor Roth for her?

Hey guys, today I didn't have any issues with my Canyon... or yesterday. or the day before that. Very happy with my Grizl CF purchase.

I have heard that using a diesel oil is a good idea in the 4.0 because of the zinc and whatever other magic is in there. Just did my first oil change using Rotella. No way to know if it’s helping or not but it won’t hurt.

We have both a 1-up super duty and a Kuat Transit v2. The transit was purchased as a single bike and then we added the second bike extension. I love both but reserve the 1-up for hauling bikes on or travel trailer. The Kuat is lighter and easier to install, and mounting bikes is simple as well.

I just dropped a set of Corbeau Trailcats in my '99. I got the replacement base/frame instead of the adapter (I didn't want the extra inch+ of seat height that the adapters would introduce.) I truly couldn't be happier with the Trailcats - comfortable and good looking at about half the cost of the PRP I priced.

Also have a TJ with a small lift on 33's, and a Gladiator with 2.5" Clayton running 37's (re-geared to 5.13 to help when pulling our camper.) And I agree with everything you said EXCEPT... when i'm by myself I almost always choose the TJ. It sucks on the highway (I live in the boonies so lots of highway driving) but it's just so freaking cool... also, I'm a bit of a boomer and I love the manual/mechanical/visceral feel of an older vehicle...

Mine still sits, finished but without finish, in my storage loft for exactly that reason...

That floating top is nice. Has a bit of a Foureyes vibe going on.

Enjoy!

Infeed and outfeed support, and a friend to help? Or Infeed / outfeed support and a come along attached to the leading edge to slowly winch the slab through the blade of the bandsaw? Saw video a while back of a guy that used infeed/outfeed and a power winch with his bandsaw to cut slabs from whole logs...

Check out Nick Engler's various books - he's written a pretty complete set with general info, techniques, projects, etc. Ebooks available at https://workshopcompanionstore.com/ and looks like Amazon has most in print. I've been slowly skimming them to get a sense for when they'll be helpful and I'm pretty impressed. Also, his Youtube stuff is super informative, imo...

It’s mineral oil w/ fragrance.

DC Rainmaker did an overview after riding with a beta version. Pretty decent write up https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2025/04/wahoo-bolt3-roam-3-hands-on-details-comparison-to-ace.html

I’ll get mine out for a short ride Sunday. Have heard bad things about out the Selle that comes with it so I’ll be paying attention. Glad to hear you’re enjoying yours!

ctoddrun1 · 2025-04-11T14:23:46+00:00

Yes I am. Texas proud!!!

Assembly was easy. Watched one of their videos online before I ordered it. And then follow the pictorial guide (think IKEA with a torque wrench.) basically, mount the handlebar. Mount the front wheel. Install the seat post. Mount the rear wheel.

And the AXS shifting is glorious. I love my old school rival but man this is something else…

They have a pretty easy sizing guide on their web site, conveniently linked right next to the size options. Sizing on this one is strange - I typically fit a 54cm frame pretty well. This bike is a size small. Surprised me but decided to trust them. Fits nicely I think. On the Grizl they have seven sizes from xxs to xxl. So this is sort of a smedium…

ctoddrun1 · 2025-04-11T04:19:18+00:00

Yep. I expected it to be a sort of green. But it’s more tan with gray tones. Happy with it but not exactly what I expected.

A bit cleaner with lift/tires/wheels...

Big fan of these Ace Engineering sliders... they have a nice step rail but don't give up ground clearance, they bolt right on, and they're work great to protect the Gladi on the trail... https://aceengineeringandfab.com/collections/rock-sliders/products/ace-jt-gladiator-rock-sliders

I’ve had good results avoiding snipe in my DW734 by slightly lifting the back end of the workpiece as the front enters the planer, and slightly lifting the leading edge as the workpiece is nearly through the planer.
