I've been out of the industry for a while, but that doesn't look like a lean seize to me. Lean is usually on the exhaust side of the piston/cylinder. Heat or lack of lubrication can do that. Someone with more knowledge can give more detail (or correct me)

Good to hear. Don't ignore the discs though. With DDD you can keep problems away with the inversion table, even mildly improve the discs. It's a really easy solution to something that will slowly continue getting worse and is really debilitating when it gets bad.

I have DDD too along with a number of other disk related things. Get an inversion table. It's the best thing you can do. Decompress with it at least once per day. A couple minutes of hanging upside down often makes the pain go away completely for me until I compress the discs enough to touch...

Measure them and order the same size 6061 aluminum tube

The connector screws off. I don't think it came with the hull originally. I had to buy almost all hardware like that when I was assembling my hull. It would probably be difficult to get the cable through there without first removing it, even from the side you were trying.

The through tubes are bowed on mine too, because they start towards the inside by the pump and do an S bend to get outside of the midshaft housing. Try feeding the cable from the other side. It will go through.

I built my own aluminum tank for my BAM. It's definitely heavier than plastic, but it can hold over four gallons. It's nice to have the option of long rides or fill with less fuel for lightweight.

And it's always on a weekend when I'm working or have travel plans.

Hey

Yeah, I shouldn't be allowed to type that early in the morning. Wasn't thinking clearly.

What's wrong with boring the cylinders? Are they already oversized? That's much cheaper than doing a sleeve.

I did the same a couple weeks ago, but crossed to the US side to meet with friends. I went on the Maid of the Mist for the first time. Hard to believe that I never did that before when I live so close. I'm usually there at least once a year. It was definitely nice doing something that seemed...

I have a BAM and love it. Just curious, what year was the hull built?

This was life changing when I figured it out. I used it constantly on my last build.

On an old ski, I cut a triangle shape with rounded edges out of the hood. It was very comfortable to grab because I set it right where my hand would go and at the proper angle. I don't like the rounded holes as much. I used some cardboard to make a box and covered it in fiberglass for the...

That's what kept me safe, but eventually took me off the road. I spend too much time worrying about other vehicles, not enough enjoying the ride. Even in cottage country, riding mostly open roads that wind around lakes, I almost got killed by a cop passing someone on a blind hill.

Fortnine is a great company. I don't trust human drivers either. Seen too many accidents from people not seeing bikes. I stopped riding two wheels on the road. This includes bicycles.

It's "aggro" for those of us who know what's up (has-beens)

I have loads of things that I made for this ski. I’m really far behind on posting. Here’s one little solution for the cost of rubber straps. These are mounts I made from scrap aluminum to use with $3 tarp straps that you can get in almost any length. So far they’re working really well.
