Ok. I just punched two resurrectors with the new self-tapping saddle valve. Are you kidding me, this thing works perfect. $6 at Home Depot. GO GET ONE!!!!! Easy as pie!

Did you find it hard to turn? especially on the last one? Trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong or am just a weakling. lol
Mine seem to lock up on me and I had to hold it in one hand with a pair of pliers and use the nail removal part of a hammer to leverage it. It should'nt be like this should it?

any suggestions?
thanks

I would die on a bike like that. Way to fast for me.

JB is mentioning magmatanks. The thread is tooooooo long to search for pics. Would someone please tell me if these are for standard size cartos (just wider tank for additional juice capacity), longer for XL length cartos, or possibly something altogether different? If for standard size cartos, if you have one, would you please post some pics? Thanks.

So my daughter says I want to learn how to ride your bike Dad. Of course his bike is way too big for her.
But this is what they did for Father's Day he did a bike course with her. She fell the first day and was very depressed but ended the class with flying colors. And no I not buying her a bike, haha
I got to figure out how to put pic on site. I could never figure out how to do this. Help

I'm not sure there are pics of them. I think they take standard cartos but are fatter. They will look good on a silver bullit.

The MagmaTank is based on my old design. It's a 1" diameter tank with 1/8" thick wall tubing. I think floridamale posted a pic of a black delrin one I made for him. Strprswpr has a couple of delrin ones also. These will be the same design, except with the new materials. Thankfully I found a supplier that makes this in a larger size.
