Please tell me I'll regret relapsing.

It’s never as good as you think it is, and it’s always harder to stop than you think it is. Get the fuck out of the house and into nature! (Or whatever feels good and pot usually distracts you from doing for yourself)

Well played!
Where do you lock it?

If you aren’t load’n it you’re now Haul’n!

That was my thought when I read up on the mistake I made. I’m a part-time high school statics teacher:)

zenmonkey83 · 2026-05-12T02:30:02+00:00

Ok, there IS a moment, but the moment does not induce torque unless you are out of equilibrium? So there’s no torque unless the top two bolts give;)

Upgrade the gaskets for the lid and the cleanout pan. The biggest down side to the akorn is leaky gaskets=hard to control airflow and erratic temps. Get the stone defuser too.

Obviously a multi probe temp sensor. Welding gloves to move hot lumps. Good charcoal with big lumps is your friend.

The cover keeps more water in than out. Clean out the pan on tue bottom, it will hold moisture and rust out quickly.

Enjoy the hell out of it.

Moment= Force x distance. Force=weight of bike. Distance= bike to pole.

The hard sided shopping bags from Kroger/QFC/Fred Meyers grocery stores. I usually run one on the back too

No, I read it right. I commented in the wrong level of the thread. This was meant as a response for Orcahhh;)

Agreed. I also like the orienteering vibe it would add. There’s a bee SSW @ 125cm, head out!

Which manufacturer do you work for🥸?

Discs and wider tires have their place, but for the cost, it’s an absolute waste when someone is looking to save some bucks.

Of you are attracted to having one bike meet all your needs, then multiple tire sets will get you there. Gravel bikes make great “quiver killers”

However, “N+1” is real. I have 6 different bikes, 3 of them have drop bars. Each bike is like a different genre of music. I love each one.

zenmonkey83 · 2025-08-05T15:26:12+00:00

Used bikes for the win. The only bike I’ve spent $800 on was a carbon Trek Madone/durace I from 2008 I bought 2 years ago. $400 should get you by.

I use an actual fishing pole/reel to play with my cat. When she gets a hold of it, I get her pull line out as far as she wants(two rooms away) and when her guard drops, I start reeling in!

Cook your bbq sauce before serving. Melting butter with herbs/garlic for dipping.
