Morning.

Wifey and I are meeting up with a fellow monkey in a few hours and going skiing. Although, currently it's only 1*F outside here at the house. Oh it's gonna be a cold one today.

 

[Pesqueeb]

Work. *sigh*

 

[I Are Baboon]

WHAT IT DO! Working today...probably 4-5 hours. I've got a 75 minute run to get to later. I will say that for outdoor activities in the cold, after about 10 minuets of running you don't even notice the cold except on your nose and chin.

Morning , coffee now trail ride later . I looked at the 2015 mayhem fest lineup ANTHRAX and high on fire are rumored. Yes please !

 

[canadmos]

Woot Saturday.

Might go look at some new bike racks today. I think I have my eyes set on a Kuat NV...

 

[eric strt6]

foggy out, making coffee then some eats. Eventually I will go attempt to torture fish up at Lake Del Valle

 

[Quo Fan]

Morning monkeys!

Going to Galveston today to a train museum with my nephews. Many photos will be taken.

Be safe out there.

 

[Toshi]

I'm glad the work week is over. Costco today, selling some underused cast iron skillets on the local swap, and not much else planned.

Morning. 8F when I started my early morning ride but it was still awesomeballs.

Those Kuat racks look pretty, but theyre fiddly. My buddy just got rid of his. It linked at the joint connecting the second pair of bike mounts. His was warranties and then he got a north shore rack. (He's got a grand Cherokee). I've got a Thule T2 and like it , but I like the look of the new yakimas...and they work well.

 

[jstuhlman]

i'd recommend the one up hitch racks highly

I've seen a few of those, they look so...what's the correct word? Spindly? I could be completely wrong though, I've only looked in passing and didn't give it the 'ole shake it test.

Hmm, good points. This is going on my car, so it'd never see anymore than the standard two bikes. There does seem to be a lot of parts on the Kuat, though.

Perhaps I should look at Yakima. I haven't taken a good look at them in a while. One of my main concerns is the weight of the rack, I want to keep it as light as possible.

I got a lil distracted looking for some snow today, didn't make it to the rack store. Found the snow though, too bad it took an hour to get there

I even found some ice. Didn't roll it.

 

[jstuhlman]

the one ups are super solid. you're talking about this one, right? http://www.1upusa.com

Spindly? They ain't.

 

[canadmos]

Spindly? They ain't.

Hmmm. I'd have a Turner DHR on it as well. Does your wobble at all?

Is yours a 2 inch receiver?

 

[DirtyMike]

Time for work...

 

[pinkshirtphotos]

with hitch boxes and bike racks; wedge the box and the rack and more sturdy. Fatbike ride success over 100KM cycled this week in the woods.

DHR and Sunday on mine. 2" receiver, no wobble - the rack is rock solid.

 

[jstuhlman]

if you are ever passing through TN and like a little DH, I highly suggest windrock.

Fish were successfully tortured and released

 

[jdcamb]

I filed down the huge scratch on my buddy's fork. It was puking oil attracting dirt and causing much havoc in the cold weather. I replaced the seal with a enduro seal. I now have all the tools to service any fork. Except corresponding bush tools. Do not have them.

No tool for bush when forking? Sad.

Bushing tool. If you buy me one I will have it.

Buy me a lathe and I will make you a bushing tool.

 

[jdcamb]

What kind of Lathe. Be specific. I need some sockets ground down and a bunch of other work done.

Hardinge T-51 Superprecision with sub-spindle and live tooling should cover all the bases. Could crank out custom sockets faster than you describe them.

 

[jstuhlman]

i dunno...i've jeard jdcamb can describe stuff really fast

I live in the land of failed machine shops. And hey can if I make some quick money selling the machines that get left behind from those failed shops sometimes I will. Very few Hardinge t-51 Superprecision with sub-spindle and live tooling system get left behind or even exist in the modern world. Niagara stuff is pretty popular around here and most everywhere.
