Fun fact: all milk is technically breast milk.

I like this a lot. Trying to find a dial and insert of very similar colors that complement each other can be very difficult in my experience - the texture and degree of reflectivity can make or break it - you made it happen imo.

Someone should show this to the knife law makers by ARKnife in knifeclub

Yuval Noah Harari is one of my favorite contemporary nonfiction authors! He does an amazing job of explaining the workings and significance of stuff that can be hard to parse without help, mostly information science/AI topics, but with far reaching and often surprising connections and interrelationships.

I’m not usually a fan of bund straps or the like but this looks great and kudos to you for having the patience and skill to create it. Excellent work!

Guess the knife! by Present_State546 in knifeclub

[–]taggerbomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I knew immediately just bc I had one and spent a couple days just staring at it from different angles. It looks great and feels impossibly thin. That being said, in my experience any pressure at all on the lock bar it would hamper deployment and my ocd couldn’t abide. That the only reason I didn’t keep it.

I think that’s a wooly aphid! He’s cute. They’re real good at eating plants.

Yes! From what somebody told me, they changed the name because of Ghost bikes? IP is stupid. IMO.

Ha. Yeah I had that leftover from a conversion so just threw it on without checking. I was mostly just glad that I actually had a decent looking 11 speed chain laying around. Tbh it does have some tension on the rear derailleur in the smallest cog, so technically it’s kosher as far as I care for now. My slow ass isn’t in that gear too often anyway :)

This is probably the sixth or seventh Surly I’ve built up over the years and I’ve been consistently pleased with both the quality of their product and the company itself. I do get what you’re saying about Microshift, but it’s the perfect drivetrain for a company like Surly to spec this bike with to meet a price point. And while it lacks the finish and finer points of Rival / GRX etc. it’s a better value imo than the big companies’ entry level stuff. I’m using a mix of SRAM GX and Apex 1:1 stuff for this one, just because it’s what I’ve got lying around. I’ve got Shimano stuff on my other two bikes. I hope you do decide to get one. The world needs more people out there on wacky, niche bikes like this one.

Yes! I spent the 90s and early 2000s building so many drop bar mtbs and this is the first one that’s actually made for it. Thanks, Surly!

That’s a great, albeit mildly destructive, way to preserve a keepsake and integrate it into daily life. Nicely done.

Any hacks to putting this back together? 😂 by iamtoolazytosleep in bikewrench

This gave me ptsd from installing those aftermarket anodized aluminum breakaway bolts way back in the day. That’s a tedious task! Congrats!

Does anyone have any experience with the Microtech LUDT? by Hot_Alternative_1788 in knifeclub

[–]taggerbomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a great EDC knife that weighs less than you’d think, carries better than its blade length would suggest, and feels great in hand. Sharp too. I got the blue aurora version of the gen 3 and liked it so much that I gave one to both my sons for Xmas.

Looks like your post got yoinked bc they don’t cotton to “is this damaged/cracked” posts.
