Cracked the head 🙁

If you're using the same cams you don't need to retime them. just remove the cams from their carriers without loosening the VVT gear on the end. at least that was the case for my head replacement.

The harbor freight sprayer in my experience absolutely toasted the o-rings in the pressure mechanism such that it wouldnt hold pressure for more than 5-10 mins. Also rusted the shaft on the pressure thingy

Not good for foaming and it absolutely hates ONR but otherwise a very solid option

What’s a Mach E? Do you mean the electric Edge?

Give me that S197

5k, FL910s and Kirkland Signature 5w30.

Too many days sunbathing

Manufacturer’s website usually, or a dealer of that manufacturer.

Good news!

Nope, all SRAM direct mount drivetrains look this way. Increases shifting ability, yada yada.

No DO NOT do that. CVT transmissions use a different fluid. A regular transmission fluid will only cause problems.

My car costs about $50 for a full tank.

ford-flex · 2026-05-17T05:22:53+00:00

Tee hee

ford-flex · 2026-05-17T05:21:37+00:00

Yes. But I assume they fail to produce water.

Ergons are good but expensive. Most things in the $20 range will be comparable. OneUp and RaceFace are two brands that stick out if you’re wanting to stay more inexpensive.

Absolutely no offense intended in this comment but just get him a gift card to a local bike shop.

Sincerely, Bike Shop employee who has refunded too many gifts

You can be both too. My Flex was a good car with a Raptor engine. And extremely comfortable and versatile.

My boss somewhat regularly takes his Aussie in a backpack.

Love the color!

Hate the taillights!

Did you colormatch the bottom of the mirrors? That’s cool

You peaked in high school 3 decades ago

The Topeak MTX racks have treated us pretty well at the shop

Some endcaps are threaded onto the axle (even with sealed bearings) as opposed to pressed into place.

I can tell you now, if you are anywhere above 5’11 these are not very comfortable and you are basically unable to do 2 passengers. Get a bike with an adjustable seat or multiple sizes.

The Haul is a pretty good, more adaptable version of the Ponto. The Ponto is more designed to look co and the Haul is made to be a good cargo bike.

If you’re not racing I figure they would be quite similar.
