The QUICK question thread.....

[stirk]

Can anyone remember what the 'how far will you ride this year' thread is called?

My searches come up with obscure, unrelated tripe.

Google is the best option, see what I did here?

That's better than getting spawned by his dick pics.

For context there is a thread about drawing on Herald Sun cover pages, was funny!

I’m not going to buy this, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t a 2012 patriot because it has a 1 1/8th headtube and a 2012 patriot has a 1.5 https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/kewarra-beach/men-s-bicycles/orange-patriot-mountain-bike/1280012086
Is it an older patriot, or an underforked 222?

More telling, that’s a 27.2 post. That looks like 05ish to me…but there’s sooooo many variations of a patriot, it’s impossible to know without closer looking. Swingarm style looks oooooold. This is a 2013 patriot..

I'm building a patio and I need to hold the uprights

with stirrups. I don't have a vertical drill that would ensure a perfect alignment with the stirrup holes for bolts, is there any other way you'd recommend for holding them in place?

 

[Dales Cannon]

Mark them and drill from both sides. I did that for the 150mm square posts on my gazebo. Only had to ream one of 32 holes in situ. And drill as close to square as you can, get someone to eyeball you or stop and check, use a square etc. You know to leave a small gap under the post?

Ah I didn't know about the gap!

What's the reason for that?

Allow water to drain otherwise the bottom of the post can stay wet and rot. Biggie up there. Eventhough there are holes in the base the post is in contact with 70 or 80% of the gal and it will seal leaving the water that the post absorbs in rain to seep out through the side, bottom section can stay lots wet. Even with H4 treated posts I leave a gap or put drainage under if concreted in.

Great tip thanks!

How much gap do you recommend?
