I had a garage I'd been renting for storage in San Diego broken into and a bunch of stuff taken including my Iron Horse Sunday and Soul Cycles Loki DJ bike. It happened in June or early July (not sure because I wasn't living there) so they are probably long gone at this point. Been looking on...
You can also do one or two layers of carbon and the rest glass.
I haven't priced stuff out recently but here is some cheaper epoxy
Also maybe check out http://www.solarcomposites.com and http://www.plasticareinc.com.
I would agree fiberglass is probably fine.
Carbon fiber and fiberglass can have around the same strength, there are of course many varieties and some carbon fibers are much stronger but in general... The big difference is stiffness, a carbon/epoxy composite might be 3-4x as stiff as a...
The plane on the bottom of the left edge looks to be a B-57. NASA is still flying two WB-57Fs (which were re-manufactured from RB-57Ds built in the early 50s) in support of military operations. Wired article about them. Cool plane.
Edit: Built by Martin, so there is at least one more...
Anyone see Into Eternity about a nuclear waste repository in Finland? It looks intriguing but it never was released widely in the states as far as I can tell. Not available on netflix or itunes either at the moment.
This:
A five dollar kitchen timer, a spare front shifter, and a momentary switch. Cut off the shifter body and epoxied the switch so that the toggle is pretty much exactly where the shift lever was. Opened up the timer, soldered some wires onto the start button and drilled a couple holes so I...
I've been thinking about this problem recently as well. What happens if you were to theoretically put a spring twice as stiff on your bike (1000lb/in rather than 500lb/in). Perhaps turn the dampening all the way down. Would you be able to bottom it? I would guess not but I don't know, I've...
I moved to London (from the US) in September to do a MSc at Imperial and decided just to give up riding for the year. I looked around before I left but it didn't seem like there was much riding around London, so I left the bikes at home. It's definitely not what I would have chosen but I...
Someone with a scanner and a copy of the new Decline should turn the page from the HammerSchmidt ad and scan the Diamondback ad that shows one of these things on one of their bikes. It looks quite promising.
I'm moving to London from Colorado in a September to go to grad school for a year. I'm wondering if there is much of a riding scene; I suspect not but figured I would ask. I'm willing to ride pretty much anything but prefer downhill/dirt jumping.
Float fluid is something different than the fork oil, it is blue and much more viscous. They have it here: http://www.myfoxracingshox.com/fox_accessories.htm
I don't have any specific experience with the F100 forks but I lowered my Float RLC to 100mm and it was quite easy. The lockout still works just the same as it did before. I would guess that a F100 is going to be the same process. I had never taken it apart before and I had no trouble with...
