A fun video from oor boy Daniel.

Just to add to Ross's comment you can still buy Irn Bru 1901 which sticks to the old 34g of sugar per can 'proper' stuff!

It's not just damage to the drive splines causing problems is it? I've had it before where the internal clearance on the spacers is minimal and a little filing of any burrs on the drive shell has made all the difference to getting them to fit.

I'm still not sure how anyone can defend Trump and not see him as a disgusting, vile human being who should never have been able to get into a position to be president, let alone voted in twice! There isn't a single redeeming feature about him and his actions, the way he talks about people, the compulsive lying, criminal behaviour etc. etc. just leave me speachless that anyone could support him. But that's me and something for the angry thread...

What do they do?... 3D printing for the win for sure! I've been printing finger skis and finger snowboards for the boys this weekend

Yes, but

Will be interesting to see how the literal printed circuit board will last over damp winters etc. I know they used high quality solder but even so the adhesion didn't look incredible and I wonder how it will end up in a couple of years. Amazing what they've achieved while being self-taught etc. but I can't help feeling that it's a complex prototyping system that once they have it dialled could/should be replaced by a 'proper' PCB made at PCBWay or similar.

F****k... just seen the scan of Cam's ribs- he must've been ridiculously close to smashing his spine too pieces instead of his ribs. Lucky dude.

Yeah Tom Van Steenberg- that flat drop front flip was mental. I know everyone's saying Brendog should've won but although his run was cool and quite different, with heartfelt links to Jordie Lunn, it didn't have anywhere near the danger and exposure of some of the others (I say from my sofa!). Given the other scores I also think Szymon probably deserved the win over Brendon but someone's always gotta be robbed in the Rampage! Shame Tom Isted didn't get a clean run- could've been sweet. I also though Bienve's crash looked nastier than Cam's yet he got up straight away and Cam came off far worse from the sounds of it.

TVS was robbed (before the event's even over!)...

His jump up on to the rock looks proper sketchy! There looks to very little in the way of a landing platform with no room to get it wrong without him having a proper bad day!

I reckon Mr @Private Repress will be after those CODA cranks from you!!

In a crazy way I feel it's only going to strengthen his support and makes it almost certain he'll get back in. With the Democrats f**king about with grandad, Trump shrugging off an assassination attempt is about the best thing that could've happened to his campaign. This is why you aim for centre mass, people. Centre. Mass.

No, I think I started to reply to your comment relating to Trump the cunt but then reread your comment and reinterpreted it as who could stand for the Democrats instead of Biden!

Yes, rolling road so rotating wheels/correct aero for ground effect. The overhead balance that this setup attaches to is on a 'slew ring' so we can yaw the whole assembly in the tunnel to replicate sidewind conditions and yaw angles for aircraft etc. The road itself has a mechanism that can allow it to yaw relative to the tunnel (from the days when we used to work with Penske and they needed to work on oval racing stuff) but it hasn't been done for years and our current boundary layer suction box, side panels etc. don't allow for it.

Yeah, everything from the balance (last dark bit before the shiny ally) is effectively 'live' so will have an aero 'teardrop' around the balance itself and then all of the sting bits that lead down to the bike. There'll obviously be a rider model sitting on the bike so only about half of the sting will be exposed. I've got a second set of the stings made so I can chop them off at a relevant point, replicate the fairing and use that for 'tare' values of the support so that only the aero loads of the bike and rider can be extracted from the data. Also yes, but then the rider being present means that in my mind they can only do so much most of the time. Hopefully will still get something useful from it!

Is Kamala Harris not a viable alternative?

Already thinking that we may need to model a rider hanging his leg out under braking... going to be an interesting project!

In theory maybe but in practice I don't think it's critical and can be introduced later if necessary. At racing speeds I think the actual steering angles they achieve are quite small and for what we're looking at the lean angle is the critical thing. There's going to be a steep learning curve to work out what the hell the forces actually mean though as everything's on the piss relative to everything else and there needs to be a fair amount of translation and taring off offsets etc.

2 year bump! Been meaning to do this for ages but could never think of a good way to do it. Anyway, 50% scale motorbike model (spine for now) to start working on crazy aero bits that are popping up in MotoGP. Design done in Solidworks. Most of the spine is waterjet cut with telescoping, IGUS bushed, forks and 3D printed wheels (done in two halves each) on our Creality CR-M4 large format printer. The bit at the top is a 6-component balance and beneath that is a little roll system to allow the model to be cranked over to +/- 60 degrees, in 5 degree increments, for cornering cases.

It's insanely cheap, isn't it?! Glad you got something that works for you. The HASSNS is a little too noisy for the foldy to be honest but at least people hear you coming!!

See I looked at the Lewis (which appears to be a Chinese copy of the Trickstuff ones?) but in the end have stuck to my guns and gone with the Hopes. Fingers crossed I don't regret the choice!

I won the DBC weekly comp! Bought 20 tickets for £9.80 and now have to choose a ~£500 prize from the available selection: Currently thinking a nice set of Hope E4s in black and bronze with floating rotors for the MTB... Any thoughts?

Especially on a more streety build!
