    Any negatives to buying a Bulls older model like Bulls Iconic Evo TR 2 ?

    bulls is not great about warranty issues, they make you go to the manufacturer of whatever part breaks if its not the frame. I have three gen 2 and gen 4 bikes with no usses.

    Ode to the Trek Allant+ 8s

    I thought about it, but the only two dealers, one was 15 or more miles away by bike, so not practical The other is a high-end shop, but you can only ride the bike around the parking lot so no way to test it. Plus with two bosch bikes I had batteries that would fit it.

    Ode to the Trek Allant+ 8s

    Well, not sure you can blame Trek for your upgrades. That's a personal thing. Getting rid of the stock tires and going tubeless has made the bike a smoother ride. My bull's bike with a decent air fork is still a harsher ride. But this bike is not an off-road bike. but yes the cobi turned out to...

    That would be like using vice grips to remove a tiny sliver for what I am doing. hell, its leverage is longer than the actual part.

    The nails hold the part in place while it is cut, but they lift up easily when done.. Then I can pull the nail out from the back, the nails don't have much head on them. There are a lot of them in that sawdust. I have a nail gun that shoots plastic nails that you can just break off. But they are...

    I got the long guys for leverage. It makes the nails come out easily. I must have removed 500 nails today. I used to use flush cutters, but having those long handles makes a huge difference. I was cutting them off, but it leaves a stub. The new tool is actually less work to pull them out than my...

    Yes better than ryobi. I liked the weight better than the Makita nailers. This gun I use to nail small parts down on my cnc router so they don’t come loose while I am cutting them.

    I got tired of dealing with compressors or fittings always leaking. Since I don't use nail guns all the time, it's not practical to leave the compressor on. so I finally got my first gun a pin nailer then replaced the other two guns an 18-gauge and this guy, a 15-gauge. it works great the only...

    I thought about one of those, but I am using small nails, 15-gauge, plus they don't cut close to a surface.

    A Frankenstein Shimano CS-M5100/7000 Cassette :)

    We use the 11-50 and a 38 chairing on our tandem, we can climb about anything with that combo. You can get to 20 if you can pedal about 110 rpm. We don't use those may gears on the tandem, so the spacing is not an issue, but I would not want it on my regular bike.
