Idaho BS thread in the PNW

No, it sounds like it was brewtestes.

 

Yeah but it doesn't make me as fat haha

Caffeine actually isn't very addictive at all. You can become dependent on it and will have wwithdrals but it's not technically addictive.

 

Yea..no kidding..haha you just gave half the definition for addicting haha

 

I think dependent was the wrong word. Basically people confuse the downs the experience from skipping caffeine as an addiction when it really isn't. At least not on the the same level as actual addictive things like illegal drugs.

 

No. I'm addicted. Haha

It was something we studied in my psych class. You're body gets used to it and adjusts fforit so you have downs without it but you don't get addicted per se.

 

i wouldn't get a 5lb tank man. Won't last very long. 5lb is more like for back up or for a portable air tool setup only.

10lb is as low as id go..and even then..15lb isn't far off.

I got The Source kit.

might as well hold out for a 20lb bottle and save yourself the trouble. Unless your gonna be okay with checking the bottle almost every other trip..

dude..that is addiction. You body become's dependent on it. Caffeine is on the same level as nicotine really in terms of addiction. People crave it and rely on it.

Addiction..

Its still a drug. Not im saying i have never had caffeine and in small does's it can be ok for you. But the ammounts most people are consuming isn't good for you..cause then you become reliant on it..

like you are now..and Ben..and Mike..and my Dad..haha

also..where are the photos of the ORIs??

 

I'm gonna get it filled so ill know how much I used this past year. Which will be a good gauge considering I only used it I think 3 times before the epic since I was in Alaska all summer.

But ya good points. I'd still opt for a 10 at least.

 

On the CO2 discussion, my n2 regulator adapter came in today and I picked up a 20lb aluminum tank with a handle from my local welders supply shop. $180 for the tank and $10 for the adapter to use my regulator from my n2 setup. 20# tank isnt "that" big if your just going to mount it upright in your bed to a rail and it's a nice amount of air. I'm going to like not having to fill the tank often... Depending how much you wheel and air down the 15 or 10 could be just fine I guess. I'll be airing down much more now since the CO2 makes it so quick to refill.

 

Yea ill let ya know for sure at Christmas. Be interesting for sure. And 50 tires..hmm..at least yes..if not more.

 

I don't have many pics... we dropped it off at the alignment shop and they were so busy I didn't get it back until 6:30 and it was dark... we are going to wheel it tomorrow though

I think we settled on 720psi passenger and 760 driver. That left me with about 7 1/8" shaft showing. We were shooting for 7" like n0rth's.

 

What is the stroke on those?

 

8"

 

Yep. So I don't have much down travel... I rodded it up the road and it handled well though even caught air on them. The Internal bump in them stops me 1/2" before max droop of the setup without a shock. So I lose less than 1" of travel bump to bump. With my tires at 50 psi they ride as smooth as my 5100's do with the tires at 20 psi.

 

Just got back from Idaho son of a bitch it was cold as hell!

 

OMG i have not laughed so hard in a long time. I love this show

I put a few pics up in the mid travel BS thread just now with some info. The ORI's internal bump costs me 1/2" of down travel at the wheel though over my 5100's but I may have gained up travel with my new bumps.

Edit... already said this I guess... haha

 

how is this possible? you should have gained a bit more droop..

 

I drove through Lewiston? Haha

 

Nope. My 5100's already maxed out the travel. They have the same travel as all extended travel shocks and are almost a perfect fit for what the stock length arms can do with an aftermarket UCA. Jerry set the ORI's to bump 1/4" (I remembered wrong) before the LCA and CV max out. My My 5100's let them max out...
