Common Questions and former stickies. / common bearing and bolt/nut sizes

Gsport Homers use 14mm bolts, correct?

Edit: Bolts that fit into a 14mm dropout slot

Nope, 9/16" which is like 14.2875. But they should fit in most places a 14mm bolt would.

Creating a new account to bypass a ban will result in a permanent ban of both accounts and a possible IP block.

I think the major problem with this is that people don't care for one reason or another. Some just wanna ride, others focus on their bike or niche to much, and most don't even pay attention.

That's why I like BG, it's just a big conversation.

It usually happens when a thread gets deleted. We have been cracking down recently so more threads are getting the axe.

Super.chief - Dialed.
Dick - Dialed.
Miami - Sold me this wheel. Got and found out both studs were fucked, the drive side spacer was missing, all the bearings are shot, there is obvious peg damage(he said no pegs were ever used), and the axle is pretty much done for. I'm lucky in that I have spare parts and only really wanted the shell, which seems fine, but anyone else would have got a very bum deal.

The Lounge / Post Your Guns

I would go with a Glock G20 10mm, its fairly cheap, very simple to use, light weight, and accurate. It holds 15 rounds a clip which is plent from stopping a home intruder. Of the many hand guns i have shot over the years this was the best feeling and most accurate to me. However if you wanna get some show stopping ability you could always go with the .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

considering most gun fights last less then 3 rounds i doubt you will ever need more the the 6 the 38 holds. and if you can't take someone down with six shots you need to learn to aim. i just like the simplicity of a revolver too.

stainless .38 special. i'm sure some of the gun nuts on here will tell you to get something crazy but the 38 has good stopping power, is small, simple and the stainless requires less maintenance. i know a lot of guys that have conceal and carry licensees and that has to be the most popular choice.

either a pick or the edge of a razor blade/exacto knife. just carefully pry it up at the edge. you can clean them out with any solvent/degreaser. just make sure they are completely dry before you put them back together. then repack them kinds like this. and pop the seals back on.

I can think of a reason. If you want to get like to a next step in live, applying for a job and such, you maybe don't want anyone to know things about you (for example you're next boss googling your name etc.). I think deleting an account and thereby all posts ever made should be a possibility.

When I google my own full name with these things " around it bikeguide.org is in the results.

i just did that and apparently i'm the president of a company that makes snow plows.
