Meh, he’s been in much better. Those are just OK heist movies.

I sure hope people don’t spam it with garbage information.

Bullshit, they would never let guns inside.

Yeah, they aren’t letting guns inside.

Reminder: The GOP doesn’t give a single fuck about your second amendment rights, they care about trying anything to retain their own power.

Are you familiar with the term “whitewashing”? That’s another good one, and it happens frequently when it comes to history classes in southern states.

FartsWithAnAccent, 13 days ago

That’s only because of how they are.

Immediately remove the battery/power, then use a bunch of silica gel packs that have been dried out instead of rice: They’re commonly available and won’t get into things and cause problems down the road. Alternately, just take it apart as much as you can and set it in front of a fan to dry out.

Keep in mind, it might be too late but it’s worth a try.

If you really want to try and save it and are tech savvy, try tearing it down and giving it an isopropyl alcohol bath but if you aren’t, it’ll do more harm than good. Keep in mind ISO can damage some parts.

Acrylic for sure, I think it can damage some screens too. Acetone will definitely mess up a lot of stuff.

I learned the hard way lol, glad you can learn from my mistake!

FartsWithAnAccent, 13 days ago

Stuff like silica gel can work fine, but you need to use a lot of it in an enclosed space (even better if you can circulate warm air through it) but, yeah, airflow does work just fine pretty much anywhere.

No wonder he joined Star Fleet, he’s fly as hell.

Damn, that would’ve been a good username.

FartsWithAnAccent, 14 days ago

Agreed.

Allergy meds, a mask to filter out pollen, only ride on low pollen days?

What a bunch of bullshit, yet another example of how billionaires get their interests served but we just get to help make them even richer while being taxed, but not represented because we can’t afford the bribes lobbying.

It plays way more than that, I play all sorts of “unsupported” games all the time - mostly they run fine or even great (never mind all the emulators lol)

Funny how every time there’s actual election interference, it seems to be republicans doing it despite being the ones complaining about it.

The US is not a signatory to the ICC, is it?

In fact, I believe the planned response to such an arrest is to actually storm the Hague and retrieve the American.

Point is, I don’t think the US government is too worried about it.

Sounds messy

I’m late to the party but I use my Trek 820 as a combo commuter/grocery getter and have not had luck finding a front rack/basket that works with my front suspension (though I haven’t really made a dedicated effort yet).

For now, I’ve settled on just using the rear rack with pannier bags combined with a saddlebag and a big frame bag.

It’s not quite as versatile as my ebike with 50liter pannier bags, but I am still regularly impressed with how capable a cargo bike it is despite being an old singletrack MTB.

If you find yourself struggling with front cargo options, it might be worth swapping to some sort of touring fork which can support not only a front rack/basket, but bags on each side of the fork as well.

Good luck and I hope you’ll keep us posted on your progress!

I’d think the limiting factor most mounts would be the seat stays on any given bike. Mounting to the seat frame could take some of the pressure off, but even so, 310 lbs seems wildly optimistic because don’t forget: The whole bike has to support you, your cargo, and all the extra parts/bags. The wheels themselves also have a weight limit and with a loaded down bike with a bigger rider, you could easily get into 500lb+ territory.

The seatpost rack would probably be OK, just don’t try to load it down with more than a fraction of that 310 lbs (if not for structural reasons, then for practical ones). Bike trailers are another option for expanding capacity without adding more wear and tear to the bike itself (just be extra careful with how you load it up, putting weight on the wrong spot can make handling increasingly difficult - the general rule is to place 60% of the weight in front of the axle and 40% behind which applies to bike trailers and vehicle trailers alike).

Another important thing to do is make sure you have good brakes: That’s very important, but even more-so when you’re using a cargo bike. If your rim brakes aren’t up to snuff, consider upgrading the pags to Koolstop salmons, they’re very well regarded and new pads aren’t a big investment. Make sure that your braking system as a whole is up to snuff/in good repair because the more weight you carry, the sketchier stopping can get.

!micromobility would probably appreciate pics and a rundown of your build when it’s finished. Cargo bikes are awesome!

FartsWithAnAccent, 8 days ago

Nice, Koolstop Salmons are good rim brake pads if you can’t upgrade to disc brakes.
