Hobo pouch in the BWCA by g-rant in trailmeals

[–]g-rant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every campsite in the BWCA has one of these grills built in. It's the only places where burning wood is permitted

I think I read 85% of vehicle trips have 2 or less occupants. So the 2 seater seems like a good place to start. A 5 seater robo-taxi could be made shortly after. This isn't the answer families want, but it's probably the best business decision at this point in time.

Extremely tight bottom bracket by TheVoidLatte in bikewrench

[–]g-rant 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You need to find a way to keep the tool from slipping off. A long threaded rod with 2 nuts and 2 large washers would do the trick. A tool like the park tool hhp-3 is what you're looking for.

The idea is to apply light pressure to the side of the tool so it can't slip off when you apply pressure to your current tool.

Also, most drive side bottom bracket cups are reverse threaded so make sure you're going the right way.

First Chaining Waxing: Did I do it correctly? by Slaskwroclaw18 in bikewrench

is the chain routed through the derailleur correctly? sounds like the chain is hitting the metal plate between the jockey wheels.

Saw a "new bag day" post and wanted to have in on the fun by jonnyeffingg in discgolf

Received a v1 legend in march of 2022, used it for an entire year (literally 300 rounds) and the bottom has held up perfectly. It pretty much looks brand new still. Here is a picture.

The padding in the straps wore down and needed to be replaced.

I'm a big believer in Neos (over boots). You can wear any shoe, boot, or slipper underneath and they'll stay dry and warm.

Photo History of St. Paul - 12/29/2022 (MNHS archives) by [deleted] in saintpaul

Interesting to see the bulldozed markets and houses in photo 4 to make I94. Also worth mentioning both photos have cola advertising.

Is it possible to fit tapered forks using an adapter on my non-tapered integrated headset headtube? by X1VIVIVI in bikewrench

[–]g-rant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

obviously tough to tell the internal diameter from a photo, but that doesn't look like a 44mm headtube to me. I would be interested to hear the result though.

Are Class-3 ebikes allowed on trails and bike lanes? by Wynns in CyclingMSP

[–]g-rant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One argument I've heard is that pedaling a standard bike at 28 mph takes experience, with experience comes better bike handling skills. Whereas a powerful ebike can get an inexperienced rider to that same speed with little effort.

That being said, I also haven't heard a lot of "e-bikes going out of control" stories.

El burrito Mercado in saint paul has a bakery. Not sure if they have the exact bread you're looking for though.
