All in good condition/no missing pieces (as far as I know). They are a bit more hobbyist than Monopoly or similar titles, just FYI. You can find detailed info about each by searching boardgamegeek.com. I can also hold onto them if you want to wait till after the pandemic to meet. Ranked in order of complexity: Star Wars: Imperial Assault Mage Knight Dan, my 15 yr old son is completely in to these types of games. We (he) hosts D&D with he and his friends over hear all the time (outside of quarantine). We'd be happy to take these two and could do a porch pick up depending on location.

bestbike85 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 This tire has 200 miles on it then I swapped to gravelkings. Free to a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Two sets of 2x chainrings: Easton 30.9 x 350 mm seatpost with some offset. SLX cranks with a cracked outer spider. You can still mount a ring on the inner spider. Specialized slick tire, 26x1.25 with presta tube. For some reason I ended up with a T47 headset but it's not compatible with my frame.

bestbike85 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I’m in search of a single star nut for a new fork install. Thought I had one or two but they are nowhere to be found. I’m willing to swing by and grab off a porch this week sometime. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGG Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) I have a gym quality SportsArt recumbent bike that's in good shape. This version doesn't have the HR monitor contacts. It's unclear whether it will work with an external HRM strap but for this thing we never bothered with an HRM. I bought it on Craigslist a couple of years ago for my wife, replaced the pressure cartridges for the fancy seat adjustment. There's probably some adjustment needed with the "fairing" or flywheel since there seems to be some ticking like something is rubbing, but it's perfectly usable, and I'm sure you can look into it. I was going to sell it on CL but at this point I just want it out my garage and I figured with the parks being closed this long weekend and the rain coming, someone could use an indoor alternative. This is great if you want to watch TV or read a book. It doesn't require power. You can still get parts for it. It does weigh quite a lot and you'll need a truck to transport it. I can help load if we both wear masks while doing this. It's been sitting in the garage untouched for a couple of months. It's 66.5" long, and 25.5" at the seat. I'll post a picture below from my phone. Edited April 9, 2020 by AntonioGG Add picture 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pair of flat pedals I can always use all three for my bike builds. The grips and pedals on old bikes I get are usually toast. If no one else has an urgent need for them I'll take them.

RidingAgain Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I thought this was bike specific but saw that someone posted games in here... I've got this pretty unused slingshot and an almost full jar of BB pellets if anyone would like to keep their kids occupied for an hour or so.

mack_turtle Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) A neighbor left this Mosh BMX bike (aka Giant) by the curb with a "free" sign on it. I stripped the whole bike down, disassembled the pedals and hubs, and removed the freewheel. basically, every bearing in the bike is rusted solid. the frame alone is well over 8 pounds. the only thing salvageable on this bike is the frame, fork, brakes, wheels (with new bearings) stem, and seatpost clamp. It's probably better off as scrap metal now, but if anyone wants what's left over, it could be a fun project to rebuild with less than $100 in parts.

June Bug Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 The situation: Fox fork should be arriving in Sparks, NV sometime today for its rebuild with a turnaround of up to a month. Ready to roll: hardtail Motobecane Ti Fly Team with an MRP Rock Solid Rigid Carbon fork, but running narrow (no tread) tires since it's currently doing duty as a commuter. MRP responded to me a few minutes ago that the fork will clear a 3.0 tire. The fork cannot be converted to thru axle, it's quick release only. I'm thinking about getting some wheels with wide internal diameter and trying out wide tires (2.6-2.8). This will allow me to get on some mellow trails with a rigid fork and also see if it will ultimately work for non-technical bike packing in areas that have some sand. Shot in the dark: Does anyone have some high quality light 29er wheels, quick release, wide internal rim for reasonable price? Something around 32-34 mm internal width looks about right, at least based on this chart: Tire Size Chart for Bicycle Rim Front tire will likely be 2.8"; back tire will be limited to 2.6", if that. Also, suggestions for new wheels that are the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 I'll bet BikeHubStore.com can get you rolling with some decent wheels with their Bitex hubs. those have a good track record and are pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I picked up a quick rear wheel from Cambria for $75 with a Shimano hub and QR (no skewer though). Been a great wheel so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_papa_nuts Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 You can get some 15mm to qr adaptors on eBay for less then 20 bucks. So if you has access to a TA wheel that would be a cheap way to get rolling to try things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_papa_nuts and Manuels61 the problem is, for some reason, QR to thru axle adapters can't be used/not recommended with this fork. I'll contact MRP tomorrow and check with them for clarification.

Also note, some hubs can be convee from TA to QR via end caps sourced from the hubs manufacturer. Another option if you have some other wheels laying around.
