Unclefishstick's Guide to Home Bicycle Repair

[unclefishstick]

A co-worker of mine is into triathlons and purchased a very expensive Trek, I couldn't believe how much people could spend when it comes to bikes.

Also advised me for $500 I could get a jam up entry level mountain bike @ the local shop.

Don't care for running anymore so I figure why not try the bike thingy as we have lots of hiking trails here.

you would be surprised how many little trips you take in your car,over short distances in town it really doesnt take me much longer than a car to cross town...
yes,you can get a good entry level bike for that much,end of the model year sales are a great way to save coin...the most important thing is the bike fits you right,if its not comfortable to ride,you wont ride it...

The cable just activates the plunger in the rez . your rez just happens to be on the caliper which is pretty cool in itself , but probably expensive to replace . front wheel uses the caliper rez & the back wheel uses the rez on the level i'm assuming . pretty much the same as a motorcycle except the front caliper rez in on the brake lever on the handle bars .

Cool ... i like it ! i bet it stops on a dime !!!

yes they do,the amount of fine speed control you have is amazing,plus it only takes one or two fingers on the lever to control the bike...and they are certainly powerful enough to flip you ass over teakettle if you grab too much front brake! its all pretty amazing,the hubs are straight laced like motocross wheels,the crank arms are hollow..all the clever assed shit they did to make the derailleurs work with the suspension,even the tubeless tires i think are pretty cool...

well i meant to go riding today but it turns out i had a bunch to do to get set for harvesting the swtc99 tonight speaking of cant wait to see how it weighs out...
got the tent set up with a 6 inch fan and 6x24 filter,cleaned up the shop and cleared a path to the tent so i can carry the whole screen in and just hang that up,fiddled with my over the fender front rack a bit,got the 4x4 tray stand glued up and the tray sterile,fed the veg plants and did a quick clean up...

your becoming a regular wiz with the pvc lately huh ?

looks great though Unc .... both of them , the tray rack & the bike rack .

3rd ..... i'm really liking the 3 1/2 gallon pots so far !!! these are Hempys which gives me a 2" rez full of nutrient water for them to drink on all day & i don't have to worry about feeding them 3 & 4 times a cycle or drying out by the next day .... win win








I still use the 2 gallon DTW buckets .... but i'm getting away from them more & more .

why ya getting away from the 2 gallons dans? Im currently in 2 gal smartpots and i think i could probably go for 3 gallons or just shorten the veg time on these. My rootball is getting insane this time around though....its almost like theres no coco left in it haha!

now that its all glued together its nice and strong,the bike rack will need some more tinkering but in the end i may just replace the rack with a metal one,like i said,the ogre can become whatever you need it to,im still fiddling around with things like tires and such,the skinnier tires roll easier but then you cant really go on dirt roads and the big fat tires do soak up a lot of bumps so its a trade off...

I can relate to the tire deal unc, its kinda like hitting a skinny girl doggy and getting bruised from a bony ass or hitting a plump ass and just bouncing back.

thats exactly why !!! more root space . my 2 gallons have to be broken up with a shovel after harvest & i've been wondering .... even though its coco & can handle being rootbound .... if its effecting the yields on my plants . theres a few guys here pulling a HP out of 3's every time ! i have gotten close to that in 2's .... but i want the half pounders every harvest !!! .

 

[thewhitelotus]

hmmmmm, maybe ill give 3 gallons a try this nice go around and see if there is much difference. You are running straight coco right? How often are ya watering?

 

[dansbuds]

yes & once a day because they're Hempy buckets & have a 2" perilte rez in the bottom of the bucket so the plant has fresh nutes to drink on all day & i don't have to feed multiple times a day or chance them drying out by next feeding .

thats to skinny !!!! put some beef on that but & stick it up in the air so i can slap the shit out of it while i'm poundin away at it !!!!

Evening everyone......just took a couple of pics and thought I would share...
One of the tops day 26 flower

So do I need to prune off these large fans leaves near the top?

Or just concentrate on the growth below?

 

[unclefishstick]
