If you want 26” that wont break. Halo chaos wheels are nice

 

No shit. I was at a bike shop 10 years ago and it was easy to spend $5k on a bike. No thanks, my $400 bike (on sale), from 2005 is perfectly fine

 

My cheap wheels are all I need these days. I save my body for the truck. Lol

True! @Sperrunner is in his prime of riding so it’s worth it if you’re into it. I do miss DH riding.

 

@01x4 i rode a scout and can tell you they are amazing hardtails. And have a huge fanbase. They are affordable and can be setup to do anything damn near. Also the 2022 models have some cool colors.

So you guys dont wanna spend 12k on a bike

 

Yeah I'd advise not looking at prices haha

 

Def going hard tail. I'd much rather go higher price hard tail than entry/low full suspension. If I can get something decently kitted off the bat that also has a good upgrade path that would be the best.

 

Nice, thanks. I've never ridden a Nukeproof. That's a solid price too. Now I'll go down a YouTube rabbit hole.

 

Local shop has one of these...that's car money lol. But I bet its funnnn

I loved mine, just I switched to a ebike and dont wanna go back lol

like a said its got a good fan base, people love em

 

Got bored...







































































































































Decided to spray paint shit



This was the first time I ever used a plasma cutter; it's fucked up because I did it freehand so

 

But really, this is the real reason why.

Spent a few minutes doing some wire wheel rust removal -



Some light cleaning with acetone to remove any and all dirt and oils -



Not going for show-quality, but I do appreciate a nice strong paint that sprays and dries nicely -



Finally found use for this helper; I've had it sitting on the ground the longest. It could be used to hold shit I need to paint -



All done and hung -



I really dig it, just need to add other shit to the wall -

 

Hmmmm.




I guess it is a little taller than last time

 

Kinda. We have 2 concrete crews and 2 steel erectioncrews. We are currently looking to get them all hired on with other companies and get out of self performing any trade work.

I'm probably just going to go Milwaukee like everyone else. There's too many different chargers, batteries and tools bouncing around the tool boxes and none of them compatible. That 1/2" impact has been awesome zipping in Titan anchors.

 

She already had a photo shoot!! Lol

Prob find a nice hard tail or the parts to build on on pink bike for $1000 or less.

 

Not a hardtail, but Revel is having a Labor Day sale--20% off select in-stock items. That brings the GX-spec Ranger build down under $5k... which may or may not sound reasonable depending on what else you've looked at: https://www.revelbikes.com/our-bikes/ranger/

A bunch of people I know have Rangers and really like them. That green is gorgeous, too.

 

Mmmmmmmm.

Not sure about that Ford V8 swap though.

 

That's fair. I (kinda) design and build concrete saws and hydraulic powerpacks, and out of all my years working with construction tools and power equipment , I have never met anyone that's as hard on tools as concrete guys lol

 

Concrete guys are the worst . Rough environment though. Funny how they can kill a basically brand new power tool but have been using the same hand tools for years.

 

Fucking A cotton

Knew one guy that came to my rental yard who took a relatively new, power screed for a month rental.... had it absolutely demolished in under a week. When he dropped it off bitching about how new stuff is junk (mind you it looked like he got a blade stuck and it just sat there and spun on itself and he "shut it down" by dropping an iron form wall on it lol) he kept going on about how he'd be better off sticking with ol faithful. Proceeded to point to a hand screed that had to he 20yrs old with a blade that might as well have been a chefs knife it was so thin.

I have a saying for concrete guys "give em 2 solid ball bearings in a sealed padded room. They're gunna lose one, and break the other"
