A lot of that stuff on the wall doesn't see much (if any) use any more, but I hang onto it on the off chance a friend or neighbor has an old bike that needs some wrenchin'. Never sell tools, ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got tired of moving the BB threading tools, the various reamers and facers, etc. I can go to a shop or find someone here the one time in a decade (or less) I need those kinds of tools. Most of the stuff like that went to a guy who owns a shop in San Marcos. He was trying to put together a second complete set of tools. I'm glad they are somewhere they might get used occasionally rather than collecting dust in my garage... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad they are somewhere they might get used occasionally rather than collecting dust in my garage... I hear you. In my case I stopped working on bikes, my own and everybody else, and never really planned on getting back into it. Four years ago I started riding again and last year started doing some wrenching as a side gig and it has blossomed into a nearly full time at home job. It was really easy to fire up again because I didn't have to run out and buy a bunch of tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakalugi Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Yeah man, having your own tools is key... worked in the bike biz for over 20 yrs & collected 99% of what I need and use often. That 1% is the costly bunch though and I'm always procuring more as the industry changes too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGG Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Is that an old VHS/DVD rack used as a ball rack? I think I had an identical one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack_turtle Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I park two cars in my garage. How novel! That leave little room for tools and bike stuff. All that might have to move indoors because I am not leaving my car out for the vandals and theives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBaron Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Speaking of garage remodels... I've been doing just that in my current garage. Last week I removed these cabinets and would happily give them away to someone who could use them. In my garage they were built-in and had a nice thick plywood top (which I'm keeping). Any takers?

I'll send you a text in a minute so we can work out the details. But the dimensions are pretty standard for a double door cabinet. I believe they are about 24" deep, 36" tall and probably similar wide. (I'm at work at the moment) -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, -Cody 512-6nine4-one3one9 codyjbaronATgmail.com These things are still available. I'm probably going to give it about 2 days then toss them. Post up if interested. If you are in North Austin, I may be willing to deliver. Thanks CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidingAgain Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Found these at Walmart yesterday evening — on clearance. This is the Walmart by Mopac and 290 in SW Austin, but they might be available at all stores... Great price at $5. Thought some folks here might want to take advantage of... Wait for it... Cheap.

AustinBike Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) OK, after asking about the wall fans I had an epiphany and fixed the problem myself by using a large hook to mount the floor fan on the wall. Then I bought a remote control outlet so that I can turn the fan on and off without having to get on a ladder. (Also I have 3 bikes that will be in the way.) 15 minutes of work and everything was mounted and ready to go: Edited January 17, 2019 by AustinBike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Good idea on the outlet! have a smart things (Samsung) outlet I use in my kids room and control it with a schedule or with my phone. It hadn’t occcurred to me to suggest that. Hmm, now I’m going to look into it to see if there is a smart things temp sensor so I can automatically vent my garage in the summer.

AustinBike Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I have added proximity sensors on the garage lights, one in the main area and one in the bike workshop. This is primarily because every time I go in the garage I turn on the lights and half the time my hands are full. Especially when taking my bike into the back area to lock it up after riding in the evening. Both hands are on the handlebar as I wheel it on the back tire into the back of the garage. Nice to have lights turn on automatically so I can see what I am doing. I am not aware of any that have temperature sensors, but if your system supports IfTTT then you should be able to create a routine.
