Considering my first machine to start stringing my/my wife’s and some friends racquets. The used market here is kind of brutal and not many options that aren’t basically full price.
Seller said it was a gls-16405 I assume it’s just a Chinese clone of some other machine. Any advice?
There is also a 6 point dropweight gamma progression two I’ve been eying but it’s a 2 hr round trip drive
Hey gang,
I’m restoring a 90s era specialized crossroads. I’ve decided to convert it to VBrakes. The issue I’m running into is the frame has built in routing near the seat post for cantilever brakes and a housing stop on the top tube near the stem.
The routing for the cable in the back pushes the cable in the wrong direction from the v brake arm causing a kink and less than ideal routing of the brake cable. Any ideas? Should I run full housing and just zip tie to the frame and skip the housing stop completely? Can I potentially cut the seat post routing piece to be straight? Should I get some bolt on cable routing? Any advice for what would be easiest/look the best would be appreciated.
Built my first MtB up from the frame. Built a few other bikes in the garage over the years but this was my first MtB and first ebike build. Learned a lot and it was super fun and sometimes frustrating, excited to take her out on an inaugural ride this week at my local MtB park, just wanted to share somewhere 😀
Ok so I stupidly got the pre routed dropper housing stuck and had to pull it from the frame while assembling my Kenevo.
I’m using a magnet and some floss to try and fetch something through to pull the shift housing back through and I’m currently stuck in the downtube… please please please tell me I don’t need to drop the motor and battery to get past this point… there has to be somewhere to pass through right?
Please any help before I lose it and just buy an electronic dropper post…
I am having a retaining wall built on my property next to my driveway. I was watching them install it today and they are running a perforated corrugated pipe behind the wall, laying a concrete and stone base under the modular block wall, but they did not use a sock on the corrugated pipe or lay any geowoven fabric between the dirt and and stone. The trench between the wall and the dirt is about 12-18inches wide and he is filling it all with large jagged stone. I’m reading some conflicting info about whether the fabric is needed because the trench is large and the wall is not that tall mostly 1-3 ft with a few sections at 4 ft. He laid some weed control fabric under the gravel path that will be next to part of the wall but he also didn’t lay any textile fabric on the piping for the French drain he installed so I’m concerned.
I asked him about it and he said the geotextile fabric is not necessary and he guarantees his work but what’s the verdict. Is he being lazy/cheap? So far he has been pretty easy to work with should I ask him to add the fabric, they are about halfway through building the wall so far.
