    Magicshine Bike Light

    I've been using the Magicshine for about 8 (edit, weeks) now. My initial impressions are good. The beam pattern is excellent, the color temperature is good, and the battery life is true to what they claim (about 3 hours on high). The negatives: The quality of the construction and the...

    School me on bike glasses

    Sorry about the hassle Corey. I've kinda suspected that maybe Oakley wasn't the easiest frame to get Rx'd. They like to stick to their own dealers and would rather grind the lenses themselves. I'm glad you posted though, because I have a patient who needs some wrap around rx lenses. In my case...

    Drawers With Out Slides

    Good point. I guess that would keep it from tipping, at least until they were pulled all the way out.

    Drawers With Out Slides

    I don't have sliders on mine. I use bees wax on the wood-wood surfaces which are basically 1/2 inch pine rails sliding on painted plywood. They slide easily with no binding. However, there are two things I don't care for about mine and I think sliders might have avoided these issues: 1) I can't...

    surly frameset for $400

    I've been very happy with my Surly's. And I don't think you can go wrong with a LHT. But as a reference, a brand new LHT frame set is only $430. The CC headset can be had for around $50. http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/FR290E01-Surly+Long+Haul+Trucker+Frameset+2009.aspx

    School me on bike glasses

    I'm not familiar with Oakley's order process, but I think you'll have to go through an Oakley dealer with your Rx. The only lenses that fit in Oakley's are the one's that they manufacture. The dealer basically sends your information to Oakley and they make the lenses. Also, I doubt that Oakley...

    Half width rack baskets?

    I was looking for the same thing recently. I just bought a used Yakima Basketcase off CL for $80. They are around $100 new. http://www.yakima.com/racks/cargo/product/8007012/basketcase.aspx So far I like it. It can either be mounted above my Yakima bars or "between" the bars. I chose to mount...

    School me on bike glasses

    Transitions are a trade name for photochromatic. I have them too and they're good lenses. You'll have to see if you can get them in your power in a wrap around :cool:

    School me on bike glasses

    Hi Corey, Pretty good advice so far in this thread. Here's a few more points for clarity: 1) The magnitude of your prescription will determine whether or not you can use "Rx-able" wrap around's, like what Oakley and other sunglasses companies offer. The reason for this is that wrap around's...

    Post up your drawer/storage system

    Thanks for the comments scarydriver; have fun with your build. FLYFISHEXPERT, I've gotten a few ideas from your 4Runner build. Sliding the seat forward makes all the difference for us tall folks. :victory:

    Post up your drawer/storage system

    Cool thread. I've been lurking on the forum for a while, but this is one of my first posts. This is my expoforum-inspired sleep platform. I got most of my ideas from this thread, but also by reading threads on a few other forums. My drawer system isn't as elaborate as some of yours but...

    How light do you travel?

    Hey folks, I'm new to expo but not new to camping and outdoors. Great forum by the way. This thread made me smile because this isn't a new question. In my experience campers can be divided into two schools: those that camp because they enjoy the outdoors, those that camp because they enjoy...
