This video gives a good sense of the day to day of a composting setup. Cabins built on rock shore of lake where all waste must be retained. The owner...

there's no way that going from 175 cranks to 170 results in significantly fewer pedal strikes. that's 5mm. I can believe it if your cranks are a full...

I don’t think you are stupid, but ffs how can you not understand that center of mass and mass transfer has more of an effect on ride height than bb...

What kind of answer is that ? You claim that a 5mm difference in BB drop makes less difference than a 5mm of difference in crank length. Just show...

I only brought up the ASR site because that is where Buckeye Amps is running his business from. He is just a grad student building amps in his spare...

Is math going to buy me new crankarms or stitch up my knees? On the average i spend 10+ hours a week solely building and riding corners for my own...

I want to see your mathematical explanation.

If you cant notice a 5mm difference in crank arm length on a full suspension mountain bike, it means you aren’t having enough fun in the corners! ...

I had hemorrhoids for years. I had the banding procedure done, but they came back with a vengeance. I eventually had to get surgery for them. I...

Those Clivus Multrum toilets seem like the berries, I mean if it’s good enough for a Rockefeller’s ass, then it’s probably good enough for me. I...

That’s almost perfect and the article has good info. I like that style and it seems like it’s easy enough to do. That’s super helpful.

This was earlier in 2020 but during the lockdown in Italy but before the US elections. I ordered something coming from Italy that shipped DHL and I...

R2-Bike (Germany, DHL), wheelset. Shipped Nov 26 Received Jan 15

Catching back up on the thread. The seat placement - slightly back from dead center on the rails but very much within the range of "normal". ...

Thats good, still using it? I said to my wife the other day how cheap that was and how I'd never be able to replace for that money.

A 5mm difference is nothing, both physiologically and regarding clearance to avoid pedal strikes. I've had bikes with both 170 and 175mm cranks and...

I’m the guy watching the race...probably on tellie. Thanks for all the tips. They are 40 year old brake pads, so deglazing will be called for. ...

I still have the one you wish you hadn't sold.

Something a bit different from usual for this thread. Nixon Regulus, which replaced a 15 year old solar GShock (the solar cell died). I’m a first...

The brand that Jorn mentioned has been well established and is almost like the Xerox of composting toilets. There is still some maintenance required...

The Nova Crafts have a bunch of rocker in their prospectors, so you'll be able to maneuver that 17' boat no problem. You're more likely to...

This looks very nice to me: https://www.dwell.com/article/how-to-build-an-outhouse-11faca2d

I had something ship from Germany that came to JFK and then went back to Germany and then came back to JFK. But once it returned to JFK, it took a...

We have a similar setup with a large tall Tuffshed with a sleeping loft and campstove. We use a 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat and wood shavings...

That’s a good question.. how does one rate a composting toilets usage? Shits per week? I’m imagining that the toilet might ‘see action’ and or be...

Churchtown Dairy, a local regenerative agriculture project headed by Abby Rockefeller (yes, that Rockefeller) on 250 acres, is set up with composting...

How many people, and how often will they "go" (i.e. be there)? I'm no expert, but I'm sure that will have some effect on what's most appropriate...

The “shorter crank arm thing” for clearance comes with full suspension trail bikes with “modern” amounts of bb drop and the assinine stump pulling...

Yeah, I am just an unskilled knob who likes to curse my equipment.

Was running OneUp flats. Now running CrankBros Mallet E. I think pedal thickness is about the same'ish.

17 sounds right for what you describe. On some of our all day trips with lunches, clothing, etc it would be a problem not in weight but space if I...

That's good to hear. Sounds like you guys are spoiled up there! I hope I didn't go overboard with 17', but there will be times when I put my family...

It works, but it's so cold in Michigan right now that it's frozen. Definitely on the lookout for something better.

jscottyk, what pedals are you running? Flat pedals also present a bigger target for rock strikes, so that's another way pedal choice affects...

We have the 15 foot version of it in the TuffStuff layup at our lake in Canada. Have thrown it on top of our car and brought it various places to...

Yea, even with the kayak craze making canoes more scarce, it still seemed like a major rabbit hole to go down researching options, but I had to just...

Two Newfies! That's like having two walking sofas.

My dad got a call out of the blue - Feb 3 appointment. They'd already picked the time, figuring he'd rearrange his schedule accordingly. He would and...

Section of path on our property. Not really many flat sections. Think it would be tough to learn on. Up & down with occasional rocks and roots. And a...

So they say public pillories were inhuman? Gosh seems reasonable to me.

Just a brief update: Beyond building approx. 4.0 miles of trails, the landscapers have been working around the house about 50-100' into the forest,...

Gray clouds and snow makes for lots of blue light and great colors. Those are speckled alders and red-stemmed dogwood adding color.

That looks like a super nice boat. I've been looking for something similar, used, to bash around on the Deerfield, but this past season it wasn't...

The whole shorter cranks = fewer pedal strikes might be technically true but I'm not subscribing. Maybe it is different on different terrain than...

Just put my order in for one of these: http://www.novacraft.com/canoes/prospector-17-2/ Going with their 'tuff stuff' proprietary layup. ...
