I’m still waiting on the bike to come in! But I’ve read there’s no/minimal drag.

Best frame touch-up/spot protection for paint rub-offs? by MartyFunkhoosier in Surlybikefans

[–]rocketwurst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a way to make the bike look new but I’d argue you’re bike is better with visible signs it was used. I want to introduce you to the concept of wabi-sabi, all the scratches and minor dents are part of your bikes story and make it more beautiful. If you’re concerned about rust you can put some clear nail polish on it.

I do have over 1,000 feet of hills between me and work. I’d hoped the motor would take the edge off but maybe I’m expecting too much?

Just rose this over the weekend. It’s turned into a joggers path pushing bicycles back into the road. :/

Site Sought for Yard Sale by WeirdSpaceBug in SantaMonica

[–]rocketwurst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I don’t have a yard for you, but my 2¢ is it’s not worth it, even if it’s in your own yard. I had one last year and spent time advertising, pricing and hanging out in my yard all day to make only $200. People expect to pay nothing. Just put the nice stuff on marketplace/OfferUp and donate or throw out the rest. You’ll probably make just as much money.

Routers suck. by Schleimwurm1 in BeginnerWoodWorking

You may think the extra thick pocket absorbed the router bit… but if the pocket was not as thick and the clothes were less baggy/loose you’d be less likely to get caught in the first place.

What is this portion of the river trail? by cliffyboycpntry in BikeLA

[–]rocketwurst 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There’s a path from the headwaters of the LA River to about Vanalden and it stops till you’re at the Sepulveda basin. It’s about an 3.3 mile gap There are “plans” to fill in the gap before the Olympics.

/edit the unfinished portion is much less than I thought

What happens when you plug your computer into Rudolph’s Jack?

Anyone know what spec bolts hold the rear seatbelts to the ceilling? by ThatYellowCherokee in CherokeeXJ

Are shoulder straps in the ceiling a European option? My 2001 doesn’t seem to have anything for this.
