just got back from a parent teacher conference for my eldest. "Remarkably well-adjusted" was the comment. Wish I had an ounce of that

Looks expensive.
Rando thought - the other day I was sitting in traffic next to a transport truck and could read the torque specs on the trailer wheel's lugs. 600ft/lbs. Jeebus, had no idea it was so high.
And yet they still come off...
Also I really need to take two minutes out of my day and order some winter tires.
After I removed the lug bolts I needed an eight pound sledge hammer to dislodge the wheels. I'm glad that I never had to deal with a flat tire in the last 18,000 miles.
Not without knowing to have an 8-pound sledge hammer in the van, at least.
The same shit happens on my jeeps, I wire wheel the rotors and the back of the wheel, then throw on some anti-seize and never had the issue again
Still one of the best bikes made. I'd happily buy one again if they were released with modern geometry and parts compatibility.Log into Facebook

I've had good luck slathering anti-seize on the hub wherever the wheel makes contact. Never needed anything more than a good kick to free them.

Girlfriend has this problem with her Tacoma. The aluminum wheels weld themselves on there something good. She had a flat in our driveway a few weeks ago and I thought no biggie, I put anti seize on the interface back in april, so should be good. Nope, duped again. Called the CAA guy and he had to go to town on it, to get it off.
One trick that a tire shop mentioned once, is if you're wheel is stuck, sometimes taking the spare or whatever and rolling it full tilt into the stuck wheel can help knock it off.
Need to start taking a wire wheel to them like @gonefirefightin does.
Meanwhile I drove around my shitbox with the winter wheels for like 3 years without a change and those took barely a kick a to fall right off, when I finally swapped them out.
I only have a few dollars in there on some other coins - small enough that I don't even check it anymore.Hopefully any monkeys with Bitcoin got out awhile ago...

But everytime I do, I lol. Because really....
It's a PITA for sure. I decided early on that winter approved AT tires would suffice for the winter use I make of the van.
The best way to get a stuck wheel off the rotor or drum is to loosen the lug nuts and back them off one thread (one turn) from tight, while the tire is on the ground run your steering lock to lock a time or two. The lug nuts will keep the wheel on tight enough to not damage the studs/wheel but will still break the wheel loose. If it's on the rear a slight roll and stab on the brakes will do the job.Girlfriend has this problem with her Tacoma. The aluminum wheels weld themselves on there something good.

I used to use that technique (sort of) with seized cranks on spindles, or if the crank threads were buggered…loosen the crank bolts, and do a few acid drops off of a loading dock.
Blammo, cranks came off.

Every year when I change over to snow wheels, I clean both surfaces and anti-seize them good. normally the wheels comes off easily, or needs a light tap with a mallet, at worst.
Yeah, acid drop is basically when you do the same dumb move on a skateboard. Is wheelie drop better?
It’s in downtown fwiw. Just would have to be in Denver proper
Or GTFO of Denver area. . . I hear FC/Loveland are nice
You forgot that he doesn’t ride or ski these days. Only karts and amateur woodworking.Not bad, as long as you don't like skiing much. We refer to that part of the Front Range as Cheyenne Light.

That's the kind of optimism I like to see!It's on sale.
TBH I never thought it would recover from it's 2016/7/8? crash, but then it went big, so maybe not the worst idea to put a few bucks in now.It's on sale.
Obviously not a good idea, just not the worst.
Didn't a COUNTRY covert their investments into btc? el Salvador?It's on sale.
Yea, how's that working out?
