Yes nothing like the smell of well cooked gear oil as it runs down your arm! The oil fragrance like a fine wine! Is something to be appreciated.

I agree they're getting lighter and cheaper to make but cost the consumer more. If I lean my bicycle up against my R4 I get a door ding. It is literally an aluminum can!

Here in California, a Class 1 goes to 20 mph Max then cuts off. No throttle. Class 2 goes to 20 mph max, with a throttle. Then cuts off. Class 3 goes to 28 mph Max. No throttle. Trek just released the new FX 1 + S which is a class 3 with a throttle! First time for Trek making any bike with a...

A few hours along the beach route.

I'll add my two cents. I had a 2023 Subaru Forester, got rear-ended and after the repair I traded it in for a Mercedes 300 GLC which was an electronic nightmare did a lemon law buy back from manufacturer. Then went with the RAV4 hybrid Limited. mine has ventilated seats and I will never go back...

Carbon toast, funny you should mention don't drop the coil while it's compressed! Your name isn't Mitch is it. Had a friend from Michigan that did just that in his garage while working on his bench, went through his side door window and pretty much bashed the hell out of the interior! He's was...

Long post, I'll chime in to add to it. Someone on my local Street has a TRD Pro model, all the off-road stuff! I love it! Then I get home and I sit in my RAV4 hybrid and wonder where all my machismo has gone! I should have never sold my 4Runner what a solid machine. 21 MPG at best with a...

Yes I probably will go with the hook and pin style as it's an external compression on the coil. Thanks for the safety tips! Yeah those are some hideous little things to compress. Especially with these little hand compressors.

2024 Toyota RAV4 . Want to swap out Factory KYB for the new Bilstein terrasport struts.. Just getting a census of what is a commonly used McPherson strut coil compressor. I see the variations on the internet, but wondering what would be the least expensive safest approach. Any thoughts?

Thanks, that would be interesting to know if there is any performance difference. I would be using it in a 2.5 4 cylinder non-turbo. And for that price, seems like a good deal unless it's a blowout because of some unknown! I might give it a try.

I'm thinking this is just labeled as truck oil... is just a marketing thing, Or is there a difference between "non truck" car oil? and can this be used in a car? Thank you for any thoughts

Yeah I quit using earbuds or earphones quite a while ago. I use noxgear, it's a little Bluetooth speaker you can pick this up online and there are many variations. It also accepts phone calls by just tapping the button so much better than any earbud or earphone. Just my two cents here. Photo...

I'll chime in at 68 years Young. Started riding again after a short 8 month break while painting and doing things around the house as I retired just last year. Yes I definitely do the same eating junk while not training. Over the last 6 months I have been working my way back to my last longest...

I'll chime in, I have pool people to the left of me and it's now summer so guess what! I have college, high school graduates on the right of me, with a barbecue so guess what! Behind me I have a new couple that have decided to extend their home Out close to my 6 ft wall, this impacts my...

Couldn't read all the posts but I'll chime in, I had purchased a $50 item that I decided to return within 2 days of receiving it. Repackaged, sent back via UPS and my refund was completed. 2 months later I've completely forgotten about that return and I get a email saying if we don't receive...

Right, the SRAM chains will go 4 to 5K with a 500 Mi maintenance interval of a soak and lube. I don't use wax, and I use the Park tool to measure my chain ware. My Trek Emonda got 5K and still had some life left. And really they'll go further but I like a crisp shift. And my name is in Gunther...

Unknown to me, was told it was good to use on bicycles. I also use. This appears to be a really good quality. And was told to use this on shocks and seals. So whenever I do maintenance on my Hub I use the SRAM butter. And like my Park poly Lube I'll probably have this jar for another 10 years.

Every 500 Miles my cassette comes off and gets cleaned along with the entire bike and chain. That's a very minimum maintenance. My electronic shifting doesn't go out of adjustment unless it's fiddled with. So for the most part a little Polly Lube on the pedals and crank arms and Sram butter...

The tube of poly Lube last me so long because I only use it for the bigger external things like mentioned crank arms pedals etc. I like the tube because I can keep it handy in my bike toolbox. But for the internal stuff; bearings now on all my bikes have sealed bearings.. For that I use SRAM...

If you're talking about Park polylube, yes I use it and I've had this tube for about 5 years now. I use it on my bike for lots of Parts like crank arms, bearings, any kind of Maintenance that needs lube. I only use it for my bicycles.
