I have a similar setup for my kayaks. Ceiling is a lot lower, so it was a bit tricky getting the pulleys flush enough to allow the kayaks to be raised into the short space between the plane of the retracted garage door and ceiling, but it works well.

If you want the decals and can’t find them, you can print them using inkjet print paper and clear over it before applying or, of course, just cut it from graphic vinyl. I’ve done both and the latter is much easier, though the former has its charm and makes more intricate drawings easier, like say a pinup on a WW2…

OK, I suspected—as others have guessed here already—why you were confused. One of the most confusing things about bikes is “standards” and few are as bad as tire/wheel sizes. There are multiple different “26 inch”, “28 inch”, and others. Even knowing this, I mistakenly bought a set of the wrong 26 inch size rims when…

I can say the same about some bikes I have that are worse than that. I try to tell myself that it’s not about the money—anyone can just buy a bike. Sometimes I actually believe it. Love that green!

An equally petty person would return those pennies one at a time through the windows via wrist rocket.

I’ve wondered why not only this, but CUVs? Most subcompact, compact, and mid-sized at least could use the same platform(s), drivetrains, and electronics, just change the styling and interior and maybe the suspension tuning. It’s not like anyone driving those gives a shit about dynamics or would even notice and they’re…

That thing’s awesome! You must have legs like redwoods or is it geared really low?

What’s the fatigue resistance on titanium? I wonder if you might want to keep that rear as stiff as possible, maybe to the point of no travel at all.

Thanks, but I’ve got a half-built E-bike left and I’m out of space. Building a boat next!

I figured I’d post it since you like weird stuff, too. The shifter is the gray dial on top of the tank (relocated grip shifter). I ran the cable housing through copper tubing to manage the way it ran between the twin down tubes. The illuminated switch for the LED tank and tail lights is in the middle of the switch (sma…

If it’s anything like a lower end unit’s gear oil that’s mixed with seawater, it’s truly a horrendous, evil stench.

I’m definitely not a rim brake hater, but I would go with a fork that allows a disc on the front, even if it’s mechanical, like an Avid BB7. I built a cruiser out of a ‘64 Spaceliner step-through frame that has a mechanical front disc and rear coaster (SA 3 speed IGH) and it impressively stops that overweight brute…

They’re recessed in MA, including facing the wrong direction with a red reflector, though I doubt someone who would drive the wrong way would notice.

They did that with the Kirkbride building of the infamous Danvers State Hospital when they converted the place to condos—just kept the facade.

I always figured it was for safety, but I never knew why all the steering wheels appeared to be misaligned.

One of the best concepts I’ve seen in a long time. Refreshing not to see another shitty CUV or useless hypercar, though the design makes me think of the C111 and C112 a little.

I wonder what the cda is.

It might not be bad to have forward facing cameras showing up on the display dash as if the driver could look through…

Probably to manage turbulence around the front wheels. Also less gaps to align when there’s an adjacent gaping hole between the panels, but I think that was TVR’s reasoning!

Also, don’t spill anything around it.

Yeah, I try to stay off the roads in storms purely to avoid getting stuck somewhere by the actions of morons.

Having approached starvation to the point of looking for bugs to eat, I can confidently say that nobody would want to be stranded on a lifeboat with me even if I didn’t talk.
