Or his home brewing/bottling hobby has taken over...

Night before SSAP...

my god i hope you had help, and you wondered why you were puking on major mike. And every other inch of stewarts for that matter

that even makes mattyb look like an amateur...

 

[JohneeOxford]

Feh! I was poisoned by bad coffee from Dunkin Donuts I got on the way up there.

 

[pooriggy]

those tools are getting in the way of your bottle collection

I blame ReggieHammond! Things were tight til he showed up.
normally, I got things under control... and then Reggie shows up. That dude is a maniac! I was all psyched for SSAP and he was all "hey dude, mind if I stop by and hang out for a minute?".... a "minute".... 270something minutes later I'm almost falling on the floor puking (which I apparently saved for later) ... that dude is a wrecking ball man! and not in the nude, Miley kinda way.
Beerz!

Thanks to Mandis Dad, we made some mods to the workbench area:

LET THERE BE LIGHT!

I measured out the pegboard and reorganized the layout a tad. Maybe I'll pick that up one day

Another topic; How do you store your old/used tires? Looking for a new method. Right now I just throw them in a corner. It is an eyesore. It looks like hell. They are all valuable in some sense, but not new tires. Some need patches.

 

[jShort]

I store them in the garbage.

This was Saturday

My 8 year old learning how to take off a wheel, tire, tube then reassemble + patch Daddy's Mountain Creek pinch flatted tube & cross bike pinch flatted tube





Then after posting these pics on FB, I realized I needed to clean the garage - spent all afternoon Sunday cleaning it... More pics on the way...

pinch flat mtb tube? what is this, the 90s?

 

[Mountain Bike Mike]

I suck...

I know, I know.. Working on it.. I'm looking at converting the current wheels to tubeless until I fork over enough duckets for a legit wheelset and tire setup...

dat full view

i move le stand closer to the bench when im tworking on it (read spinning pedals and making sure the brakes dont rub)

thinking of getting one of them foam puzzle piece mats too :hmmm:

 

[Mountain Bike Mike]

Thats a good look... Bike stuff everywhere..

My brother in law put a gyn in his basement and was looking for those mats as well.. Turns out that you can save a ton of money if you buy "horse mats" instead of "gym mats".

 

[jShort]

Did you make that work bench Mandi height?

Poor men use old carpet pieces. Comfortable to stand on and soaks up the spilled grease.

I second this. Anything near my bench gets oil and crap all over it. Needs to be replaced every so often.

 

[743power]

Anything big I just do at the shop. Otherwise I'm forced to work out of the race box on my computer desk at home.

 

[pooriggy]

JP, your shop looks too neat. You need some kids to screw with your shit.

 

[UtahJoe]

Looking good James. Now fix that front derailleur

I took a couple pics of my mess

My fathers ~1983 Rick Mears edition snap-on...everyone remembers Rick Mears right?
