Seizing the yachts is the easy part. Selling them with a clear title after a plethora of legal challenges is the issue.

I'll do the same if I'm going to be using tilt. I would not swing the bike with it attached to the seatpost parallelogram. Too risky. For simple stuff, I'll take the easy route.

The thing that swayed me were the features and the size. It's practically the same size as a 20g CO2 and inflator. No problems with airlines. No waste until it dies. The display is bright and the pump is accurate. I hope it lasts a long time. I paid more for this one than anything, including...

1.5hp is about 1500 watts, which 2-3 strong cyclists could put out for 10 minutes. The issue is speed. 50km/h for the group with no rotation. Still possible with good riders. Look, it's Red Bull. The Extreme Company. Everything must be EPIC.

Great minds think alike. I did the same thing during Black Friday. It will replace CO2, but what I really wanted it for was airdown to try riding on sand trails. My first impressions are good. I needed ones with a hose because my tubes have plastic stems.

It is. Choice is good. I also didn't pay $1250. I'm not concerned with clamping the EESilk seatpost. They are very easy to rebuild if needed.

Once a brake is bled properly, it should never have to be bled again, unless something allowed air into the system. That's why checking seals, barbs, olives, hoses, and threaded connections are important during diagnosis.

I understand all of what you are saying. If you don't think that the USA is the world's largest consumer nation, I don't know what to tell you. Yes, this will be disruptive in the short run. The USA is also taking the long view. It's less about the tariffs and all about the trade restrictions...

Massachusetts has had bottle and can deposit and return for decades. When it first was introduced, the free market ran the collection and payout. You could bring a marked container bought anywhere and get your refund. The refund center got to sell the material to make a profit. The problem is...

We had one of those in for service for a trashed derailleur. The Park lift groaned but still got it up in the air. The mechanic that did the work told me to take it for a spin. Damn. That thing is dangerous in the wrong hands.

I put my review of the Feedback Sports Pro E Lift stand here.

As mentioned in another thread, I purchased a Feedback Sports Pro E Lift electric bike lift stand for working on my bikes. It took a while as they are in very short supply in the USA. Feedback Sports is well known in the racing community for making very strong, sturdy, and light analog bike...

Or use a Park Tool IR1.3 Internal Routing Kit. Cut off the barb at the lever end. Screw the threaded coupler into the old and new hose. Pull lightly and push strongly to work it through the frame.

No problem. Let me know what they end up doing. Hopefully that doesn't include "WTF is that guy talking about". :)

There was plenty of notice. Plenty. It was phased in. Come to the table and make a trade deal. That was the phase in. When everyone wants your market, you make the rules. Nobody thought it would happen. FAFO. There was a time when the USA didn't have an income tax, and generated the government...
