What’s the weight in that thing? I did a five mile hike Saturday with my new Osprey Atmos. Loaded it up with 35lbs to test it out. It performed great, but it was hotter than hell.

Storming like a mofo right now.

Now sun is out. :icon14:

With or without plates?

I knew I know him...her...ok Hers-he Chocolate!

Right on! You were a Master Falconer? I had a love hate relationship with falconers. The good ones were always doing things right to the best of their ability. They were a joy to be around an I learned ton from them. Unfortunately to many neglected their birds and were always wanting permission to get another bird because one died or what not. Then there were the ones that were more interested in collecting all the hard to get birds. They really weren't interested in hunting them and then there was the illegal trading and selling of birds and bird parts.

That said falconry is amazing thing to witness first hand.

Agreed! They are the only animal that lives with their god and their unconditional love and commitment is always on display.

I'll start doing some research and see what bike shops I have around my area. Much appreciated for the info!!

Ha ha! I have to agree he's laying it on a bit thick. Not sure if i actually believe him.

But, but, what about all of Jar's cats?? :icon14:

when i work out, its just the plate carrier and level III plates thats rated up to a 7.62. now my other carrier with the plates, and ammunition, and everything else can be pretty heavy.

with plates.

:hello::hello::hello:

:confused: I don't have any cats. And good riddance to the one I used to have.

FCK CATS! They only give a **** about their human when they need to be fed. I got no love for hairy azz pussys!

Oh, I guess i shouldn't take the tags as truth. :rofl2:


My bad

Well, not all of them ;)

:rofl2:

:icon17: A small number are ok. The rest deserve to be food for other animals higher up on the food chain.

Support your local Chinese restaurant!

Yes sir. Back in my days (mid 70's), it was super easy to get licensed so there were a lot of idiots. You couldn't take your bird to the vet to be treated because they knew nothing about them. We knew all the disease's and treated our birds ourselves. You could mail order birds to you from overseas without a license. Even the exotic falcons. Our birds were trained for hunting.

Let me know, I'll steer you in the right direction.

Who doesn't like a little pussy :tup:

Fify

What about shaved? :tiphat:

That's like 70s style pussys.


Cue up some Barry White. Ahhhh yeah.

Doesn't matter which frame metal you use. Unless you need to go by tube diameter.

To do it right. You need to go to a bike shop to get measured.

26" tires have been around forever. The 29" came out a few years ago. Said to be less rolling resistance. Not everyone is doing them.

Other thing is brakes. Cantilevers brakes or disc. Go with disc's.

Gears. How many gears you want? There is some new stuff out there that I haven't kept up with.

All MT bike have front forks now. This is where it can get $$$$$ I have Marzocchi Bomber's on mine.

Isn't he just getting this bike to put an electric motor on it and tool about with the girlfriend? If so, seems to me it really doesnt matter which bike he gets as long as it has a seat, handlebars and brakes. Wouldnt a walmart bike work for this project? Don't get me wrong... my last bike was a Cervelo triathlon bike, so I understand. But buying a high end bike to strap an electric motor on seems like overkill.

Start at a bike shop

Choosing the Right Bicycle for an Electric Bicycle Conversion - EbikeSchool.com

Definately getting something with disc brakes. rear derailluer. Whatever wheels comes on the bike. And no clue on gears. i just assumed the typical 7. And I'm not sure those matter that much after a conversion anyways.

While Iw ant to keep it cheap, I also don't want to halfarse it. A Wally World bike just seems sketchy. I was thinking about a Giant or something.

I was reading that article earlier actually. haha

They definitely more preferable that way. They still ugly as hell. Have ever seen a hairless cat? LMAO

That ain't no lie!!! That is the most expensive four days of fun for me each year. Still racecar said I need bigger turbos and that money evaporated that fast!

Unless you want to do offroad, get a hybrid. Most are 27 speed, 3 chainrings up front, 9 speed cassette in the rear. Like I mentioned, you'll be removing the 3 chainrings in the front to install a single chainring that comes with the bafang kit.
The 9 speed in the rear is still good to have over a 7 speed. Hybrids generally come with 700c wheels, that's the same size as a road bike but wider. They are basically 29". Also, get stainless steel spokes on the wheels or the spokes will rust out in no time. Get trigger shifters, not twist shifters that come on the cheap bikes. And do not get a steel frame bike, aluminum for sure. Giants are fine as are all the name brands. Again, it all has to do with the components. I ride a Fuji hybrid as my everyday bike. It has high end components. The owner of the shop I did repairs for is a Fuji dealer and gets their bikes for less than half off. I paid him $300 for an $800 hybrid. He is also an electric bike dealer. If you were out here I could get you an amazing price on an electric bike.
