Earth Day? Not forgotten at Jom Johan.

Earth Day is about saving our natural resources by thinking how we can reduce usage, re-use what is available and recycle what we can so that what is abandoned will not land up in the landfill.

Check out these additional shelves created out of used wooden board taken off a work site.

Great work, Cas.

Ending end-of-life? Possible?

Is ending the expected "end-of-life" of a product possible? Yes! And Skate Guitar is the end product of what would have been skateboards that have reached their optimum usage.

Don't bother asking me how much it cost as, currently, Skate Guitars are only produced at the Galasso Guitars workshop in Buenos Aires Skate by Ezequiel Galasso and pro skateboarder, Gianfranco de Gennaro Gilmour.

You can check out what strumming one is like though.

 

Isn't it interesting to think that one day your collection of damaged skateboards could be music to your ears?

What else can we create? Let me know when you it hits you.

You can read and view more images about Skate Guitar at Gizmag

That's where I picked this story from.

Removing rear wheel?

Don't like dirtying your hands with grease while removing rear wheel of your bicycle? Don't touch the derailleur cage and chain then. If you just called me stupid, it is obvious that you have not heard about Leonard Ashman's bicycle quick release system, "Hubdock". 

Something to look forward to as it is not in the market yet.

Faded Jeans No More

I am on an eco thinking mode again.  What can I do with worn or faded out jeans to make them looking as good as new again?

Gibson gave me an idea.  Let him paint it.  You think I shouldn't?

Check out his work first!

If you run out of ideas of what to paint on your jeans, check out your skateboards for inspirations.

Check out Gibson in his own creation if you don't think you will look good in painted jeans.

If you like to look cool and you are also willing to spend RM200 to RM300 to get your jeans painted, give me a call at 03-87369398.

...and their accessories...

What's that got to do with biking?!!!

Why am I selling insect repellent in my bicycle shop?

Well, if you are on a bike trip with your sweetheart and both of you decided to camp out in the jungle, do you want her (him) to scream with delight in your arms watching the stars in the sky, or in fright fighting creepy crawlies at her (your) feet?

Warning: This is more than an insect repellent.  It kills at one squirt.

Tested to work on an invasion of ants in pantry.  For those who cannot kill anything moving big or small; you have been warned to abstain from squirting.

Rusty no more, possible?

One of my customers brought over his bicycle to have its tubes changed.  As the bicycle has been left unattended for a while, the metallic rims of the wheels have rusted over.

Is it possible to get rid of the rust?

Yes, if you use the right cleaning solution, and here is the proof.

Come by my shop and I will share with you how this can be done.
