  1. You need to flush them once every other year. I was amazed at how many people were unaware of this, I didn't know it until well after I installed it (but within the 2 year window.) A plumber will charge you $150 to do it, but you can get a kit for $130 on Amazon and then in the future it is ~$30 per flush because the kit only comes with one bottle of flush fluid. Took about an hour with about 5 minutes of actual labor, the rest of the time was spent letting the pump cycle the fluid through the heater. If you want to borrow a kit, you can use mine as I will not need it for another 2 years 😉

  4. Still, one of my favs, this and a few Danny Video's get shown to my non-mtb friends and they are always impressed.

  6. Can't you just use a bucket, a pump, and a bottle of white vinegar, or a solution of citric acid? Seems tankless heater is like a big coffee machine, but instead of making coffee, you take a shower (or whatever.) Seems vinegar or a citric acid solution would be considerably cheaper.

  7. This is a quote from Honeybadger a couple days ago over where this was first brought up on the Brushy thread. "AJ will adjust the trail as needed. The Parks director is ok with the mtb trails staying or adjusting around the concrete trail. I see this trail as a huge benefit to the Brushy Creek Single Track, we'll no longer have to ride through a neighborhood to get from SN to the rest of Brushy, how cool is that." And not for nothing.. SN is not just a line from A to B. There are many miles of trails in that area that go off in all sorts of area. From behind the hospital emergency room to feet from the apartments. There are trails there 99% of you never see. Also if anything is going away its gonna be the trails north of the jumps , outside of that church property. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

  8. Anyone can ride a bike down a hill. Riding up is another story: https://youtu.be/Uw4PqO7cABU

  9. After riding with a group every Tuesday morning on the Southern Walnut Creek Multi-Use Path, I'm in the "wider is better" camp -- and would prefer to see 12 ft width, minimum -- 14-16 ft wide would be even better. The Southern Walnut Creek path is heavily used by cyclists and is curvy in may places with limited sight lines. The bat-out-of-hell riders (singly and in groups) are scary and this path will only get more use as time goes by. The limited sight lines mean that walkers and even other cyclists are definitely vulnerable to being mowed down. I was introduced to the wider paved paths in Atlanta. They're awesome.

  10. Okay, so update... we (he and I) went through the process again, and designed the perfect bike, then all this happened: https://singletrackworld.com/2019/05/marino-bikes-sell-off-of-sick-bicycles-frames/ https://www.pinkbike.com/news/sick-bicycles-manufacturer-selling-off-sick-branded-frames-claiming-lack-of-payment.html https://www.archynewsy.com/manufacturer-of-sick-bicycles-that-sell-frames-claiming-no-payment/ Followed by this: Wife in the Hospital... So, we'll just have to make the most of the frame I have for now... I went ahead and built it as-intended: My shoulders finally felt good enough to get out on it since the previous post, and I have to say, this thing feels even better than I remembered; I pretty much hit the nail on the head! If I ever get the new one, it'll be the perfect hardtail, IMO (it's already the best I've ever ridden). But alas, my shoulders didn't last long, so I'm going to chill until at least fall...
