Curious what your gears look like if you really roached a chain that fast
I lube the chain on my e-Dummy with NFS when it gets noisy and run it under similar conditions, that chain has at least 3k miles on it and still isn’t to the 0.75 on a chain checker.
B2650 with a blower. A tractor seemed excessive until we went through one winter up here…honestly couldn’t leave my neighborhood if we didn’t have at least a couple tractor bros getting up early and doing the roads in our neighborhood to connect out to the county road.
I’ve never used one of those chain checker tools and I’ve never had a chain wear out. I don’t really believe that chains wear out. Those checkers are a Big Chain conspiracy to sell more chains.
Chains last forever. Done believe the lies!
i keep a big chain lock on the rear rack of my longjohn, it’s easy to drop it through the wheel, and visually noisy enough to keep from easily being forgotten.
I sort of want a pin lock (frame has tabs for it), but I assume that I’d repeatedly shred the rear spokes
Mine has studs on the front side of the seat stays. isn’t there some technique whereby you put a coily lanyard on the handle bars to remind you to undo the lock?
A new contender for most askward bit of cargo I’ve lugged on the bob yak – two more space heaters (sucking up 5kw to run space heaters is /still/ cheaper than buying heating oil, thanks to the oil companies.)
I’ve been meaning to buy a large bin/tote for my bullitt but finding the right size is serious pain in the ass. Last night Sup said that today she needed to transport a bunch of stuff in the pouring rain and didn’t want to drive. Shit. Commence last minute bin shopping online that I could pick up today.
Well, as I said, it’s a huge pain in the ass. I basically gave up and said I’d just drive her there and pick her up later. I then went for a nice late night walk in the rain. Coming back to my house half a block away I see a bin! In the alley! Taped…taped up!. Oh god. It looks like the right size, has a lid with latches. I walked over, popped the lid the tiniest bit expecting to see a body. Nope. Perfectly clean and dry. Looks like someone just tossed it.
Took it home and it fits as perfectly on the bullitt as if it were designed for it. Sits between the rails so it’s not sliding around, is the exact length of the platform, and clears just about 2 inches under the handlebars. It is so large that I’d never have thought to buy it had I seen it at the store.
Included a photo of the label in case anyone else is on the search.
EDIT: The hell is this santa hat nonsense?! I’m a scrooge and thoroughly dislike christmas. Humbug!
