Raise the headset too far? Pull the stem up too much and tightening the shit out of it to compensate causes both exta moisture and stress on the parts. The combo probably killed your fork tube. I did tighten the stem pretty hard but it failed well below the stem. It had barely any rust. I can't be sure or anything before I got it since it's a used, 20 year old bike. New fork and that's that. And I will start looking for a suspension fork and change the steerer tube. I'm really trying to figure out what caused it so I can avoid a future failure. What fork is it? I wasn't saying you did it, previous owner.

Best turbo timers in my opinion use an exhaust gas temperature sensor. But I see no reason for that not to work. Come off the high-way, use engine braking and your EGT's will drop crazy fast. My sled will drop from 1300 to 400F in about 10 seconds. Of course there is a LOT less mass.

Overpriced, but just fine. Kona stuff is usually pretty good.

IIRC it's basically right behind the seat. What about a small infinite baffle setup on the back deck? J i like that idea! now i just have to look for compatible woofersGotta measure your back deck and trunk space then go from there. Add in what your goals are and it can be a plan. J I'm going to say this loosely, but i want a smooth sq "based" system. no real peaks in the bass and something that will get loud. i will he keeping the stock Blaupunkt headunit also so i'll probably run the "Clean Sweep" . besides that haven't really put much more thought into it.I'd say a pair of 8's or 4 6.5's would help depending on their t/s specs. Get decently loud, retain accurate sound, and not be too much of a PITA to install. I would just look carefully at it. Keep in mind it will need bracing or the metal will rattle like a can full of pennies. J 8's IB will be useless as subs.

That's how they get so damn light. Thickness of a few sheets of paper--I think. Still nutso strong.

Exactly why I put the quality statement in my comment. If you are buying a welded bike it is inferior. Even my old 82 is brazed

bike frames and components are TIG welded. you can just look at tye welds ajd see that.not good steel frames they are grazed. Cheap shifty frames are weldeddo they braze bmx dirt frames or vert frames? those take tye most abuse of any bike frameThose don't take anywhere near the abuse of a downhill frame. Ultra quality frames are brazed, manufactured ones are TIG'd.

Tell me what year and who made the frame and I can probably tell you.

Someone raised the headset too far and compensated with too much torque. Add to that no frame saver and some moisture and you found the weakened spot

In general for audio symmetric is not your friend. At sub frequencys it isn't usually a big deal...but looks weird to me

Solid fork?

Again sign of a not so good shop. They shouldn't have surprise problems like that

Never played beer pong. If I did I would want to play on that.You're missing out! That would be a cool way to play though. A couple of summers ago we had a pretty cool floating bp table, with a matching floating keg cooler. It made for some petty sweet pool parties.There are a ton of floating tables out on big island. I thought beer pong died in the 90's though.

All 3800 albums I have ripped to my pc are off CD's that are carefully filed away.

/\ how the fuck did that happen?

Sexy and simple in comparison.That's because it's Japanese." /> Not my understanding. Sure the 3.7 was built in Japan first, but design wise albeit a global product the lead was here. Awesome...if it weren't McPUkes

The best way to have 3D presence is to NOT have rears. All they will do is screw up all your aural cues confusing your brains capability to process the audio right creating a situation with no presence, but confusion. Since you bought them and have rear DVD's just shut them off otherwise. If you find you like them better on, then you need to spend more money on the install portion and not on equipment.

One minute I am cruising, the next my jacket is being ripped off by my handlebars.

What you can't see is that I am standing right by a stop sign for the trail. Culvert wasn't marked

Loop on the front ski was folded over and touching the ski. Amazingly nothing broke, bend the a arm but holy hell are they tough.

With a big at the end of it. I'm halfway pulled out at this point.
