vendor friday: alcohol camp stoves

Post by Tengai Mark Van Horn » Fri Dec 21, 2012 9:47 pm

UPDATE: We have about 19 stoves left. All colors are still available, but we're down to only 3 green stoves. More details on the kits below. Thanks for lookin'! Mark Pics can be seen at http://s227.beta.photobucket.com/user/RandomTask_EHE/media/DSCF2065.jpg.html > http://s227.beta.photobucket.com/user/RandomTask_EHE/media/4Stoves.jpg.html> My 15 year old daughter Evy, is a Whitewater Slalom Kayaker and member of the US Junior Team. She also earned the bronze medal at this years US National Championships race, sharing the podium with this year's US Olympic Team member and a US Senior Team member. As a fund raiser to cover her travel expenses for the upcoming 2013 season, we crafted limited run of lightweight camp stove kits, with stoves manufactured from 25oz aluminum water bottles. While this technology is not new, we have done much R&D to create a lightweight, durable stove with known performance characteristics in a variety of operating conditions. The kit includes: Stove (available in 4 colors- red, blue, green and pewter) Durable 4oz fuel bottle with child-proof cap Sturdy, mill-finished aluminum wind screen Cold-weather performance kit: kevlar priming wick, reflective heavy (1.7 mils) foil square and insulating ceramic stove base 3mm neoprene drawstring carry pouch with belt-loop & hook, and enough room for additional accessories (matches, drinking cup, etc) User's manual The price is $25 per kit which includes postage in the US ($30 to Canada). Funds can go via PayPal to evy (at) vanhornwhitewater.com If you'd like to pay by cheque/MO, send us an email for our mailing address. A demo video of a simple tabletop "baseline" test can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1ddTbkcxPA > I also have an outdoor demo (around 41 F with light drizzle) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbtprADPkFo> Note, because they are made by hand, you may experience slight cosmetic variations from kit to kit. However, all kits function 100% and will provide years of productive use.

effects of new tires

Post by Peter Dore » Fri Jan 18, 2013 7:18 pm

Well spare parts aside the new tires seem great. Is it possible that vibration has been greatly reduced? Further is it possible that required fewer tomato reach speed? Before tires 75 mph would have been at about 6000-6100 rpm, today new tires 75 mph and barely got to 5200 rpms, even went up moderate hill in fourth gear, got to60 mph and still only 5700 rpms. I have to say I like it, and assume this is a good change, running heidenaus k76 with 32 psi front and 40 psi back. Thoughts or explanations? Or does anyone think I need those left over pats I posted in the pics titled spare parts (from removing fenders and rack)? Sent from my iPhone
