And that we (aussies) don't have kangaroos in the main street! Although they do visit our garden every night; I'm happy to say they like kale (I don't):LOL:
I used to rotate 2 chains, but have stopped. What I found was that one chain, for whatever reason, had stretched a fair bit more than the other one. Now I'm just running one chain till it is at .75, then I'll swap it out.
My former regime, pre wax days, was recycling gearbox / diff oil from my...
I wax my chain too. Re cleaning, I just hold it in a wire basket and pour hot water (just boiled from the jug) over it. One side, then the other, then the same for the rollers.
They also get clean when you soak them in the wax - I try to keep the wax reasonably clean though. I've also added...
So true. I was advised to have vertebrae fused together and then Arthroscopic knee surgery - both over 15 years ago! I still tear my lower back muscles where they attach to the hip girdle now and then, but no vertebrae trouble that I can feel. I stretch lower back, adductors, hamstrings -...
That alone should not be enough to waive warranty. If they haven't been modified and are still standard then they should be covered by warranty. What software or tools or whatever we use is irrelevant, unless those things can be shown to damage the motor or alter it illegally.
For anyone in Australia, I just bought an LRT-2 for $50! I think it's the cheapest I've seen. Free shipping if you spend over $99 (I bought a chain too) Park Tool Lockring Tool - Shimano STEPS LRT-2
That's assuming it's linear. If you consider your experience with these types of things, is linear a common phenomenon? It hasn't been for me (batteries and gauges in general, charging, discharge etc).
They're just not a good design. They really are fragile. For example, one side can sit totally flush if it is not symmetrical, this means that the other side is angling out toward the hinge of the spring (near the top of the pads).
I can also imagine that they get knocked about when something...
How we view the force needed to bend these springs is subjective :) You were probably surprised given their light, delicate design. Saying that, I'm surprised that a better design has not been implemented.
We go to derby each year for a couple of weeks. On my first ride of the first day (a few years ago), I failed miserably on a relatively easy obstacle and fell off the edge. I can remember falling backwards, seeing my bike disappear in the distance above me, thinking "this is going to hurt". I...
It looks good. They sure do talk up the non existent double down on the rear though; sheesh :oops:. Unless they got the size wrong. It seems strange to have a dd on the front but not the rear.
