Seriously, this company is garbage. I actually bought a kit from them a FULL YEAR AGO. I have spent this entire time going back and forth with them about either missing or wrong parts.

Some of the parts they sent are very well machined, and then others parts are inexplicably cheap and should never be on a machine like this.

They sent the wrong swing arm, and took forever sending a replacement. They did the same with a bunch of smaller parts. They sent the shittiest rear brake I've ever seen, as well as a rear brake mount that doesn't fit it.

They sent no instructions whatsoever and act like I'm inconveniencing them when I message them with questions.

This was an insane waste of money.

Hello,

I have a question regarding Korean culture and etiquette, and I am asking on behalf of my wife. She was born in Korea, but she is fully Americanized and unfamiliar with Korean etiquette.

Her grandmother is currently in ICU and not doing well. My wife is considering flying out ASAP, but is concerned whether this would be an unnecessary burden on her family in Korea, because they would need to accommodate her, as well as figure out arrangements for her passing if it comes to that soon.

For the record, she speaks fluent Korean, so it's not like she needs a guide everywhere she goes. But we are both interested in the opinions of Koreans who might have faced similar dilemmas.

Hello,

I'm a beginner, but I have a significant background in bmx and motocross, so these skills transfer well enough that I'm carrying some decent speed. Decent enough to hurt any way.

As such, I've been thinking a lot about my brake levers. My new bike came stock with the front brake lever on the left side, but I am use to the front brake being on the right side from motocross.

This causes me some confusion while riding and I'm wondering whether I should keep practicing and get use to it, or if I should switch to be consistent with my dirtbike.

I'd just go ahead and switch, but I'm concerned with other people trying my bike and sending themselves over the handlebars, or vice versa.

Hello,

I'm looking to do my first Enduro race in summer 2022 (Race Cascadia Dirt Cup) and I was wondering if people are typically allowed to run in two classes. I ride a hard tail and I'd like to see how my my times stack up in my age group, as well as the hard tail open class.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I just moved to the area and I'm in search of a trustworthy mechanic near Maple Valley. Any suggestions?

Hello,

I'll be moving to Maple Valley soon, and I'm really looking forward to the many bike paths that go through Seattle and surrounding suburbs.

But I was curious if there is anything I should watch out for, just to stay safe. I've heard of big rocks being thrown onto cars on I-5 on an almost regular basis, so I'm wondering if similar shenanigans happen on the bike paths.

Thanks in advance.

Might be relocating to Seattle soon and was wondering how the weather is during Winter. Is year round riding possible around Seattle? Will I need extra winter gear?

I'm from Florida, so year round riding is pretty easy here.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Just want to get some feedback on my options. I want to purchase a 2022 Husky as I'm getting back into Motocross after being out for years. I'm not really looking to race much, so that's not really part of the equation.

I am partial toward 2 strokes because I just think they are fun and light.

However, as I'm getting older now, I'm wondering about the FC350 because I hear it's far easier to ride for a longer period of time. Send like a bike I can ride however I want, cruise or go fast, without getting tired as quick as on a 2T. Another pro is that I'll probably spend less time wrestling with the carburetor, and more time riding.

So I'd like to know what y'all have to say about the

I'm wondering what symbols are typical of warnings vs. cautions in something like an equipment use instruction.

I am using warnings to point out safety hazards, and cautions to point out equipment damage hazards. It's this consistent with convention in the US?

I'm wondering why my lead keeps insisting that fixed is ALWAYS more conservative?

Any time I suggest giving the constraints degrees of freedom to move around, he gets very dismissive and patronizing, but won't explain the reasoning. It seems to me that, sometimes, by fixing constraints, you are actually giving the structure more support and not allowing the same load paths as in real life.

Does anyone have any good sources for info on this? If my lead can't explain it, is like to become more familiar myself.

Thank you

I've been a mechanical engineer for 3 years and I'm a year into my second job. In my last job, I was a design engineer, but about half the time I didn't even do my own drawings, so I didn't get much experience with that. I also wasn't responsible for analysis (though I would always do some basic analysis to make sure I didn't get anything sent back). I left because it was slow and I felt I was never going to develop.

I guess I got what I asked for with this newer design position. It's crazy fast paced here and I love that part. But we basically manage the project ourselves, which means I am learning so much that I didn't even know was part of an engineering project. Not only am I dealing

Hello all,

Just wondering if I can get some info on how vulnerable the stock drivetrain is when increasing the tire size. I've heard that 35" tires can overstress the axles. I'm wondering how true that is and how careful I should be. I'm looking to put bigger tires on my zr2 to increase clearance/traction on trails.

Thank you.
