Zip ties, dude. Not a steel hose clamp that can scalp your skin right off in a crash.

I believe I've had my first contamination. What is it and is it going to ruin my beer? by Daleoin Homebrewing

[–]802bikeguy_com 4 points5 points ago

Dude, there is nothing wrong with sour beers. It will not hurt you and it will expand your palate if it indeed is lacto. Taste it. Go buy a bottle of petrus oak aged pale or brouwerij von honsebrouck fond tradition. Compare to your beer.

Popping tires? by andrewvanwin MTB

Put some Stans in your tubes. Best sealant ever.

Arizona redditors, I'll be visiting Amado and Green Valley this summer- what can I expect? by MiMaracuyain arizona

[–]802bikeguy_com 1 point2 points ago

If you're into wine make sure you drive over to Sonoita which is about an hour drive.

I'm about to drink this Hefeweisen (sic?). It's my first time drinking this kind of beer. What should I be looking for in terms of characteristics, flavours, body etc? I'd like to try brewing this style in the future. by frogger42in Homebrewing

[–]802bikeguy_com 0 points1 point ago

Looks like an off brand to me. Try any of Georg Schneider Weiss beers, my favorite is edel Weiss. Konig Ludwig and franziskaner are also good commercial examples. My favorite American hefe is sierra Nevada kellerweiss.

Naturtrub means natural sediment.

After being taunted then swiped by a car, I flew over the handlebars, ended up with a broken elbow, dislocated shoulder, torn muscles and ligaments, internal bleeding, sprained wrists and some gnarly road rash. First crash ever. What's your gnarliest crash? by thechrispottsin MTB

I love Guinness and am interested in getting a kegerator that could dispense both that and my homebrew. Help? by TheWillManin Homebrewing

Oh for ... really? AZ Secretary of State Ken Bennett says Obama may not be on Arizona's ballot. He's not convinced the President was born in Hawaii. by Nadie_AZin arizona

What a douche.

Can someone give me a rough estimate on how long I can run Strava on my phone before needing to charge it? by Mr_Ectedin bicycling

[–]802bikeguy_com 1 point2 points ago

Too many variables. If in doubt carry a spare battery or a portable USB battery bank. It's a battery that can be wall or laptop charged and provides a 5v usb output for charging other devices: http://www.jaunted.com/files/22421/2009_03_16_Jaunted___USB_Batteries_crop.jpg

Where can I go to meet people? by tripedarachnidin phoenix

[–]802bikeguy_com 1 point2 points ago

Four Peaks Brewery.

I am an engineering student trying to find work in the cycling industry. Anyone with related experience here that can give insight on how to get my foot in the door? by xCruisein bicycling

[–]802bikeguy_com 2 points3 points ago

I think there is room in the industry, especially now, for niche products/small scale manufacturers. Stuff along the lines of Paul components, Retroshift, etc.

Also, the ebike industry is seeing increasing demand. If it's something you're interested in I can turn you on to a budding diy market that is clamoring for small scale commercial solutions/sound engineering. I'm talking drivetrain parts that could easily be manufactured in Asia.

Salt River by tracy20150in phoenix

[–]802bikeguy_com 1 point2 points ago

The salt river is a festering pool of bad genes. I would stay away. I once watched one guy bite off part of another guy's ear during a fight. I was there on a kayak, not to float the river like everyone else. Lots more fun to be had elsewhere.

It seems to me that you folks really enjoy coming up with home brewery names. by Ethanol_Based_Lifein Homebrewing

Thor's Hammer. I usually just suggest the first thing that comes to mind whether it's relevant or not.

What is a good sour to try out before brewing one? by HittingSmokein Homebrewing

[–]802bikeguy_com -2 points-1 points ago

Petrus oak aged pale.

Sour mash is the way to go for homebrew, or just use lactic acid drops.

The thing that you want to do with a sour is use a very simple base beer. New Belgium has two base beers for their sours, light and dark. Named Oscar and Felix.

Specialized Turbo, eBike that can go 45 kph by cycloin bicycling

[–]802bikeguy_com 4 points5 points ago

I'm about to put 1750 watts of motor into my Kona cargo bike. 35mph (56kmh) gonna be scary on a rigid aluminum frame that's already flexy...

For about $1500

I'm hoping the 2.35" Schwalbe Big Apples offer enough pneumatic cush.

Anyone else have an interesting way to store their bike when they're not using it? by psywipedin bicycling

[–]802bikeguy_com 0 points1 point ago

Is that the back of a tractor trailer cab?

Any suggestions on a seized seat tube? by telebastardin bikewrench

[–]802bikeguy_com 2 points3 points ago

Go buy a bottle of liquid wrench, soak and sit for a day. Retry.

I think I’m getting a headache. by RedundantSystemsin whichbike

[–]802bikeguy_com 2 points3 points ago

At 25 miles in a day I really don't think you want a hybrid unless it's 12 two mile trips a day we're taking about. Also, a hybrid can handle unpaved hard pack surfaces but not really a trail. The cheap suspension fork on a hybrid is heavy and robs efficiency.

I'd recommend a flat bar commuter with clearance for larger tires if you want to go unpaved. Alternatively a cyclocross bike is a road bike that can take a serious beating but is still highly efficient on road. Drop bars are the norm here and may pose a comfort issue for some.

What about a rigid 29er with roadish tires?

Suspension is overrated for most on road riding.

Just some things to think about.

Pie plate noise?

I need some ideas on how to temporarily fix my stripped bicycle pedal. by weirddemonin bikewrench

[–]802bikeguy_com 0 points1 point ago

Technically this would work, but the aluminum is soft so I can't imagine it would last long.

Can you guys recommend me some lights for the night? by morales138in bicycling

[–]802bikeguy_com 2 points3 points ago

Cygolite hotshot rear light.

New rider; bike suddenly feels more slippery/squirly. by EtherGnatin bicycling

[–]802bikeguy_com 2 points3 points ago

Loose rear hub would be my guess.
