    Carrying a bike on a convertible and how to jack up an older car

    I knew I had pics. I ebayed this one for some reason, I think to upgrade to a head unit compatible with the iPod module. I remember being so ecstatic when I bought this Boston Acoustics sub too.

    Carrying a bike on a convertible and how to jack up an older car

    +1 for Alpine HU and another +1 for WMMR, all brings me right back to my late teens/early 20s! I went through so many head units in those days and none could beat the Alpine SQ. I loved them all until the last one I bought ~2012 which seemed to be a huge step down from the older stuff.

    Chain Wax Discussion thread

    I'm about 55 miles / 8hrs into the waxed chain on my MTB and it's time for a refresh. At least 1/2 of that was in the last 2 weeks at CR where there have been quite a few spots to get the chain wet. This was also a used chain so probably not the best adhesion.
