Pretty sure Rotor with a 68mm BB shell needs an external T47>24mm BB. I say this because Rotor on a 68mm PF30 BB needs spacers either side.

Exactly what choke said, command, praise (if done correctly) lather, rinse and repeat. I have found that a healing stick works well also. It's like...

AVT has a pretty detailed description of T47. Typically if you have a 68mm wide BB shell, you use external unless you have a BB30 crank. Also some...

So, so green. Red Buds and dogwoods still flowering.

My IF Crown Jewel is painted in that white + grassroots green accents. I tried a few green details in the bar tape, etc but to my eye a white frame...

The fine folks at Burgtec dropped a 50mm rise bar for 4/20

Our chicks have a fully enclosed 3' x 8' coop that sits inside a 10' x 10' chain link kennel (that I've also "roofed" with small gap poly fencing)...

That’ll work just fine. Palatial.

I bought AXS for my S&S bike but haven't been able to travel with it. My bike fits in the case weird so I also got hydro brake couplers. In theory I...

I used to understand bottom brackets but that was a long time ago. Now I email manufacturers. I tell them what I have and what I want to do.

5 is enough.

Thanks, will! We have hawks, bald eagles and owls here so I’ll likely do the same.

Cracked corn is sort of like candy for chickens. And they love habits. So you can make a routine where you toss a handful of cracked corn down...

Found recipe for Sardine fishcakes. Came out well even if it was hard to keep them from breaking in the pan. Not sure if it was because of the yukon...

Once they get old enough, they could pretty easily clear the 5ft fence, IMO. We put netting over ours to keep hawks out and to keep the chickens in....

Starting my own chicken journey this week with 3 barred rock pullets and a single buff Orpington. I’m putting a coop together over the next few days...

Frontal cloud rolling in off the ocean (alas bugger all rain came with it)

This is indeed exactly what you say above. For my eye maybe one only could play with white hoods (if they exist) otherwise it's perfectly balanced...

Picked this up on Monday. I'm totally used to being around compressors, but they freak most people out. This one is quiet and will be even quieter...

"Each"? Maybe. But consumables, sure: I document whenever I replace chains, cassettes, brake pads and tires on the same spreadsheet where I record my...

Yep...ditch the white bar tape, bars, seat post and saddle. Change them all to black and then it's 100% better IMO.

Good luck pal!

What was said - introduce the dog to the chickens while he is on the leash. Reward proper behavior and remove the dog immediately when there is bad...

We've spent a lot of time removing a key plant in the mouse-tick co-dependent life cycles. Barberry creates thickets to maintain moist soil and the...

I record all mine for drivetrain parts. It is super simple with Strava and making a quick note. I have all Dura Ace cassettes though, so can't help...

I love Nitto seat posts, unfortunately I don't think that are recommended with carbon rail saddles?

Just seeing this now, Too Tall . If you really want to rehome your Dolmar in earnest, let me know. I'm guessing we could come to an understanding on...

Good luck, Frank, and let us know how things are going when you're back home. Louis

I bought a Klein that was a bit grubby thinking it would be a cool commuter. Got it home, cleaned it, and found myself in possession of an absolutely...

Edit: post deleted I see Jay beat me to it above.

Had a couple hours to ride today. Tomorrow rain. Happy about both. Is that you Pete?

Our Daughter uses a weighted Blanket which seems to help.

That was you???? I was doing the "ding ding ding ding" ;)

You definitely should see a doctor or get a referral to a sleep specialist clinic. I have age-related sleep issues. I have to echo what...

A good friend of mine worked for the USDA in downtown DC. One July 4th I rode from my office in Alexandria to his work to attend a rooftop party from...

I would attach a long rope to the dog's collar. Hold the rope tight so he doesn't have any slack and start walking, constantly repeating the word...

CBD has helped me a lot. I would sleep maybe 2 hours a night for 8 years after my head injury in Iraq. Reading for the last hour before bed and...

I used to work at an optometrist's office. I was the 16 year old making your glasses in an hour while you wait. I will never be able to get the green...

Yup...was in there Saturday for the first time...cool place! SPP

yup. don't get me started.

Have you ever looked at people's eyeglasses? How do they see out of those things? Those aren't lenses, they are Petri dishes.

I think that's what he's asking. How quickly do they wear out.

I'd say you have to be a total freak to actually record how many miles you do with each bicycle part. ;-) I have no friggin idea, I replace them when...

This thread reminds me of something I've yet to figure out and is one of my biggest pet peeves. I'll never understand why people don't clean their...
