Did you wrap a loaf of bread in duck tape?

What's under the duck tape is my business.

Looks ghetto.

One of my local buddies said the same thing.

$3,000 wheel, $3 seat.

My sherman is supposed to ship out from EWheels by the end of September. I don't think I've ever waited this long for something in the mail and I am unreasonably excited.

I am here to tell you your excitement is not unreasonable.

With that PVC plumbing, bystanders are going to think that you're sitting on a moving toilet. :)

Yeah paint it black and don't poop on it.

I'd say trim those bolts because they're awfully close to your charge ports and motherboard air intake

Thanks for the advice. Their being in the way was not the only worry for that mounting system. After about 100 miles on it the brackets were loosening up and I was no longer stable while sitting. I replaced them with u-bolts. Now I can actually charge it properly and it's so much more secure.

100 miles is 160.93 km

Does it mess your balance?

1
GhukekOP:VETERAN-Sherman: Sherman•

In hard mode, yes. It overcorrects and wobbles front to back. Soft mode is fine but I don't prefer how it feels standing up. Medium is a good compromise. I occasionally get the wobble but less severe and easy to correct, just press on the pedals a bit to shift weight back down there.

This issue is referred to as ossilation. Your seat may be loose or heavy. Looks heavy either way ossilation makes you way more likely to cutout unexpectedly.

Thanks for the tip. I did tighten it up and I'll make sure to be careful about letting it oscillate.

But when are you going to get a 3080 though.

Soon as I can grab one?

Woooooah! That's some serious industrial plumbing duct tape happenin'! Love the extra height regardless👍

GhukekOP:VETERAN-Sherman: Sherman•

Yeah I'm pretty tall so an extra height seat is perfect.

Where’d you get that helmet?

Fox racing. ProFrame, it's really nice I love it.

(Ot) I love your 3D ships! I appreciate the effort you put in to them. I couldn’t comment on those posts because they are too old.
