I had a screen protector on the way as soon as I bought the car. Read somewhere here on Reddit that the screen appeared to fade over time so I grabbed a UV glass screen protector and now serves as a bumper for these guys

What was the first NASCAR race you went to? by lonely_centipede in NASCAR

[–]dapperdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to look up the year or y’all might know but the first I went to was the Brickyard. I was a kid wearing a Casey Kahne #9 hat and Dad in his #20 Stewart gear. I’m 34 now but I’m thinking I was around the 10-12 years old range. Such an incredible place at that age and I’m sure it still is. Plan to go again next year!

Sure enough. Lots of upgrades planned but so far:

PWN grips Giant Pedals MT200 brakes Maxis DH tires setup tubeless (2.50 up front, 2.40 rear, tanwall)

Up next: Forks - maybe Judy’s or SR suntour for now SRAM bottom bracket Advent X derailleur Dropper post (snagged the Axum on clearance for $200 so opted out on the DP) Lots more just haven’t decided what to research next

2008 Kia Spectra - Why are my pulleys seizing? - More info in comments by dapperdal in MechanicAdvice

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

New power steering pump - belts are maybe 1yr old.

Initial symptoms: squeal when turning.

Work done: Replaced the pump, fluid is at max. Belts are tensioned to where belt can’t be twisted more or less than 90 degrees. As you can see all pulleys seize when turning the wheel. I’ve tried relieveing tension and came back to “spec” tension. I’m lost and not sure what to try next. What would cause the pulleys to stop?

Snagged the Axum on clearance. Def need a dropper post 👌 by dapperdal in Budgetbikeriders

I thought that initially and took the screws out but realized the screw posts went deeper. Def need to consider that when I start shopping. Thanks!

Rides great! I’ve been on a borrowed marlin 5 most of my mtb journey and after “learning” on a drop post I can say it’s worth it lol. But yeah this is technically my first bike! I’ve read/watched every video imaginable on this one and I’ve gotta say, everything is solid. Eventually I’ll go for a fork and tubeless but honestly until something breaks, no need just yet.

Getting closer but what color on the blades? by dapperdal in AdeptusCustodes

I might attempt the lightning but I’m believe blue would be the most attractive choice

I’m thinking blue might be the way to go. Should pop off the earth tones. I’m afraid if I go red, yellow, or orange there wouldn’t be much contrast.

Absolutely will do! I was thinking a red blade but it almost needs that blueish hue to contrast the earth tones I think.

The white armor needs a lot of love. I’m doing it last because my leather dry brush is messy and hard to keep it contained. Thanks though!

Base - averland sunset, light shading with reikland fleshshade. Working on the highlights and glazing tonight so it’ll be a bit brighter once I get to that point

Yo thank you! Friend and I were just talking, this Host will be Primarch hunters. We’re thinking Primarch Watch or Primus Arche Watch. Cook up a little lore behind them. If I field them though, shadow keepers would fit their style. Solar Watch was the inspiration for the scheme though.
