1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

My ko2s only lasted about that long....actually I gave my last set away to Tyler, they still had life left but were chunked up something fierce.

The Coopers still look ok and I can probably get 2 years out of them. I don't really think of it in terms of mileage because offroad miles tend to take a bigger toll on them than street ones. I keep them rotated regularly and they've never worn badly due to alignment. Just damage to the tread from rocks and rubbing.

Particularly rubbing on the Coopers because they rubbed pretty bad until I got my caster in the right spot

 

yeah I think the shaking at highway speeds is a balancing issue, I'm going to take them to Americas Tire at some point and see what they say

With the kid coming in January I can honestly probably get these to last another year as I don't think I'll be wheeling much in the first 6 months or so lol. Might consider getting a new set before the Moab trip next Sept.

 

One of the tire dudes at my local Costco balanced my tires, he takes his time. real smooth ride even at speed. Made a difference

 

I have bad vibes above 50 or so...tires, spacers, worn out steering components all multipy

 

yeah I'm hoping its just the tires since I put new LBJs and inner/outer tie rods on over summer. Since it happens pretty bad at 65-70 but then smooths out just fine at 70+ I think it's the tires

 

@Speedytech7

They've evolved, they're robbing the Bird scooters now haha.

 

Yep.. Just needs to roll the rrrrrrs a bit more.

 

Ill give you 20$ for the frame

 

It's worth more than your frame.

 

Exactly why I offered 20$. Mine is only worth 10$

Then you lose the redneckness of it though
Was just coming here to post a great link on understanding fuel trims and how and what they affect, etc

After reading through this guy's stuff I see I likely don't have a vac leak and actually more than likely a fuel delivery issue, whether injector slightly gummed or not atomizing the fuel well, whatever. And I am at 220k miles on these injectors and I know for a fact PO before me ran the cheapest gas he could find while he owned it for 7 years. So I'll eliminate some other common culprits and keep my eye on injectors in mean time

 

Theres actually a guy on youtube whos channel is almost solely based on reviewing big box mountain bikes and putting them to the test on trails. Pretty entertaining. Kevcentral is the name

 

Hmm wonder why the brakes were grinding

 

I either bought it from Walmart, or Sports Authority (rip). Either way, I'm happy with it. Has Shimano gears if that means anything.

 

I ran 2 miles today

 

I took a 2 hour nap

 

I woke up 2 hours late
