I think the French air must have gotten to you because Tim Horton’s is corporate sellout garbage, and, as a Canadian, I am offended that they are appropriating my culture to satiate their shareholders.

I use a gas powered hydraulic splitter. I never was much good with an axe.

My only guess is people who get turned away from the new car place because of their credit. We have a place here that will be happy to finance that ‘18 silverado at 6% for the next 84 months.

You have to dig UP!

I drove a gbody in high school. what are you saying?

It gets better mileage than an 86 cutlass by a pretty big margin though

Sounds great, but I’m out as I don’t have more than 21 friends.

I’d never even considered the van possibility. I was always a racer style, but really you want to make tanks with those. A square eraser on top with some track drawings on the bottom eraser. If you have two pins you can have a rotating turret with a gun.

I think most of the schwalbes are ‘tubeless ready’ I’ve been running racing ralphs with stans sealant for more than a decade.

Modern entry level cassette (from the back):

That’s true, but motivation is key. As long as he has fun I don’t see the issue cause that’s the point. And I came here in a $600 echo that I had to replace the clutch on before I could use it.

+1 Hozan.

its cathartic once you learn how to do it. but yeah, starting out and messing up a wheel because you don’t quite understand it yet is super frustrating.

If you haven’t stopped using amazon at this point, then you’re probably voting for trump

My shop was with a partner, and when I decided to move on he just bought out my half and I left with just my ‘personal’ stash so I don’t have cases of stuff... but the stuff I do have I likely have a use for eventually at least.

Came for this. Such a good album.

I’d significantly reduced my riding when I had kids but now that they’re big enough to come along I’ve been getting back into it. Turns out I’d spec’d the best on everything and now I’m realizing how much replacement parts are now that I’m not getting wholesale prices and I have to buy 4 of everything!

The good news is that someone probably wants that cassette and will pay good money for it to help offset the cost of the ‘new’ stuff.

Your way sounds more practical but way less fun!

I built a wheel this past spring using an axle holder/bench vise and a hokey one sided ‘truing gauge’ that clamps to the post from my bike stand. It’s possible but tedious and I agree the pro park stand is worth the money
