The Bike Shop / duo stunner tires and feebles

« on: August 05, 2015, 09:34:35 PM »

Sooooo IMA cop some 1.95 DUP stunners on a very wide rim which means the sidewalls will be making contact with the ledge pretty damn early. Think they'll be alright? Light street I suppose, I so seldom feeble though often enough it's an unwaxed weathered piece of concrete

It is $10 at Dan's
Or I could get a Tioga streetblock for $22... Its over an oz lighter at 18oz

Any sub 15oz tires that can take some grinding? I'm seeing a couple $40 maxis tires out there

The Bike Shop / stock stem woes

« on: May 30, 2015, 08:44:05 PM »

Do stock stems suck?
I have this unridden mirraco and its already slipped on me twice. Anything I can do to make it work?
I know there's paint on the stem knurling and I'm thinking of sanding it down, I just wanna double check that's not a bad idea

2010 mirraco edit, it is heavy

The Lounge / storytime

« on: March 28, 2015, 07:10:29 AM »

so my buddy tells me there is going to be a bmx jam at a skatepark around here
at this park there is this one hip ramp that flows with the park, but if you wanted to, you could haul ass across the park and jump out of it catching an ungodly amount of air... but end up going no where.
so i told them i was going to build a giant landing ramp we could set up at the jam and hual it in.
****, thats a lot of lumber i commited myself to aquiring/buying
im lazy/cheap, im not going to do this, w.e
..well maybe ill keep my eye out for a couple 6x8 pallets and see if i can come up with anything
well two nights before the jam i stroll through my nieghborhood industrial area to grab a lil bit of firewood to burn at the beach...
and where i spot my burn wood i also spot, this gimoungous pallet, what the hell kind of truck did this fit on??

ahhhhhhh i should grab this, i really should...."im late for a date, ill get it in the morning"
that night i went to sleep thinking about that pallet...
"darn it, now I HAVE TO spend $50 on plywood alone to cover this thing"
didnt get back in my truck till late the next day and first thing i do is rush the half mile down to the pallet when i spot this 1/4mi from my house

oh! ive been blessed!
I cant wait to see how i load this all in my truck!
I rush a minute over to the pallet spot and its being sawed to pieces...
i guess i know where my firewood came from.
tbh, it was a great fire

ill build that landing one day.

The Lounge / dirty IAC truck part/sensor - how to clean?

« on: March 26, 2015, 11:49:27 AM »

2000 ford ranger 2.5L manual transmission
I have a dirty IAC sensor that has been causing my engine to rev when my foot is off the gas pedal
I bought some "QD electornic cleaner" - "CRC" brand -is this the correct product to clean the part?

The can of spray was nine dollars for something ill probably only ever spray once so id like to not have to use it if possible. I also heard any spray that does not leave residue is fine for cleaning this product, can someone recommend some household product i probably already have that i could use to clean this? Someone said Brake cleaner but i do not have any. another person recommended alcohol, would this work?

The Bike Shop / jack up concrete diy spot, just a thought

« on: March 21, 2015, 10:47:56 PM »

you think theres a way one could easily jack up a slab of sidewalk the way a bursted pipe or tree truck would do it?

also anyone ever gone at skatestoppers with a cordless grinder? do they cut through easy enough?
