    Car tires on a bike

    Cool video, but the coulomb friction model he uses doesn't apply to friction of material pairs that include rubber. Contact area does affect how much grip you have.

    I swear I love Bimmers.

    The term beamer originated when BMW was only producing motorcycles. Bimmer came into play later on for car enthusiasts to differentiate themselves from the motorcycle crowd.

    I swear I love Bimmers.

    Hate to break it to you guys but if we are being pedantic the bikes are beamers, its the cars that are bimmers. Im not going to check your math but I agree buying new and selling early is usually a great recipe for losing money. However he wants to justify it is up to him though. Who...

    My wannabe DIY muffler

    Yea that wouldn't make sense at all. Better go to facebook and ask for opinions there. Man people actually threatened me after that one...pretty crazy. I actually sent that to jdaniels when he was asking around about the hawk. I wonder if the picture he posted was in progress and he didnt...

    My wannabe DIY muffler

    https://steelwooldirect.com/ss-fiber-mat/ This product seems interesting, they might be a good point of contact to ask what they recommend at least. They have a range of products and even a website chat window. I dont have personal experience with any muffler packing except a 2 stroke fmf...

    My new bike (not motorcycle) toy.

    I knew you were a weirdo. Just kidding, but real interested to hear how you like it compared to the fox factory. The linkage forks have some clear benefits based on their design principle for sure. At first I got trust confused with Lauf and I was about to make fun of you. I would really like...

    XB9R, original development images

    The firebolt and lightning definitely fit a more common theme as compared to firebolt and venom. Or was there another possible name for the firebolt?

    Buell Schwinn Paramount - bicycle content

    A banner would have been cool. Just started building a hei hei 29er for my gf this weekend. Looks like a fun bike. Also into the steel frame stuff. I have a honzo st that I build up a year or two ago, but right now really looking forward to the new carbon process headed my way.

    Buell Schwinn Paramount - bicycle content

    Lol I am on pinkbike with the same username, so game on you single speed masochist. I rarely comment though, I'm mostly on it just to keep up with bike stuff and look for deals in the classifieds. I just scored a new process 153 cr frame yesterday looking in the buysell section. Which funny...

    Buell Schwinn Paramount - bicycle content

    It is a single pivot but there is a linkage between the shock and the swingarm. A lot of bikes still use a link driven single pivot but in a much different orientation. For sure the BB being the pivot is not very common. The wheelbase must be pretty damn long to fit a shock between the bb...

    Buell Schwinn Paramount - bicycle content

    Yes multiple brands tried the extension shock but I think they all came after this one after it placing so well in the dh race. Maybe Im wrong on that but that is what I was reading about it. If we are getting into just general bicycle history my favorite is Rotec Pro DH bike. I particularly...

    The bianchi has no buell involvement though. I think that buell schwinn would be a cool display piece other than the price. It got a lot of people looking at the design when the rider seeded 52nd took 3rd. It definitely helped develop mtb technology.

    XB9R, original development images

    Pretty cool stuff. Any other prototype photos? Perhaps of turbo bikes or anything.

    https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/2602781/ Check out this buell for sale. Not mine but I just found it looking for bike stuff near me. Would be cool to have with an old tuber. Also here is a little article about the bikes on kneeslider...

    Hawk Exhaust-still around?

    Yea I just wanted to poke at cooter. Its been quiet on here for a while.

    Hawk Exhaust-still around?

    Hey Cooter, if we are being pedantic he asked if people knew if hawk was still modifying exhausts or not. He never asked how to get in touch with him. I'm afraid you didn't answer his question. It appears that none of us know for sure. There are better options out there anyway. Look at...

    Idler pulley bracket stuck on....insight before I create more work for myself

    If you can double nut the stud i might try to break it free that way and see what happens but dont break the stud. Or just give it some more time with penetrating oil and maybe try a little heat on the bracket. I remember having a hard time with mine years ago.
