Welcome to the IHoP v.2

I'm really curious on how much I'm going to change the unsprung weight going from drums to discs. 

[Adrian_D 520]

Funny stuff, a customer asked me if I remember his install, heck, I can remember parts of the conversation I had with him 4 years ago...

 

And today I couldn't remember where I put my stainless fasteners

[Adrian_D 520]

I weighed the bike today, 30.8 lbs. It's marginally lighter that most of my co-worker's aluminum bikes

My steel roadbike (67cm) is under 20lbs and from the 80's.

and FUCK. noma is booked. Half the fucking reason I was going to Copenhagen was to go there. Aaargh.

I had some Indian food and I think I pooped more than your bike.

Way to go man.

Actually, way to go for you.

I think you'd scream if my "little" bike came out your ass

It's a road bike, not a mountain bike

Might take 2 courtesy flushes?

You are not alone on this one.

It isn't a road bike, it is a touring frame setup for cyclocross racing. Every bit as tough as a Mt Bike. More like a 29'er though as it has big wheels and my knobbies are still rather narrow.

[///M5 2,833]

But to be fair, the sub 20lbs only happens with my road wheels as my cross wheels I didn't quite spend the same money on. Still under 21 at that point though

At least:

That is before the mon chasseral wheelset

Don't want to eat your first born.

With a little soy sauce thought I could probably get the bike down.

:-D

I thought that was a problem for all mobile users

It's an Apple though so it probably sucks at everything you don't pay for.

So, I should be getting that Ipad mini from work.  I know they pass digital out via the lightning connector.  What I want to do is pull that digital signal and convert it to a digital coax since my HU has digital coax input.  I know about the Pure i20 dock which includes digital coax out, problem is I would really like to not spend $100 + the cost of a power supply + have to figure out where to mount and secure the docking station just for a digital signal.  I want to run digital so I don't have to deal with the low preamp voltage and HU doesn't have analog input I don't believe (would have to check again), I don't want to run an extra input to the MS8 or switch inputs via the MS8.  I want to keep the control at the HU and figure if I can do it digital, why the hell not?

 

What I would really like is something more simple and/or less expensive than the Pure i20.

 

Anybody have an idea of my options?

 

Is USB not an option?

USB into the audio system?

 

No, not an option

What head unit do you have? 

Rockford RFX-8250

1st time I've had to throw a spare on my car though.  Thankfully this car was "luxury" for it's day so the spare is a full sizer.

 

Maybe I should take this as an opportunity to throw some balling rims on it

Don't forget to do block body lifts and not compensate in braking power for the massive increase in unsprung weight.

What, you expect me to make major modifications to my vehicle AND take proper safety precautions  ???

 

That's absurd !!

 

However, talking to my dad last night....apparently the front tires on my car were the tires that originally came on it, and it's a '94.

Didn't know anyone was still running the Denford. I love that deck.

Time to have some fun and burn up the others then

Well today my oldest turned 19 and he still lives at home, but is going to LHU so I can't complain.

That is an old picture of the little man Sean.

I'm calling in sick tomorrow. Time to break 3k mi for the year. 8" of fresh snow. YEAH BABY!
