Can you not just drain the system down?

How anyone voted for him at all, regardless of their political leanings is a mystery to me. He is unable to function as a human being in society, let alone run it. A quick google on any of his incredible random ramblings proves that. My particular favourite is trump on sharks and electric boats in full. It doesn’t make me happy but it does make me laugh. What does make me happy is… My headshok damper is now full of oil again, the fork seems to hold some air and is pretty smooth. Combined with the bearing service it’s actually working pretty well! Crap trials riding back on.

So the aging headshok damper that I have been servicing had somehow become pressurised and exploded what little (filthy) oil it had left in it all over the walls, so I have to repaint them 🤦‍♂️

So the bottom one clamps the inner bearing races to the machined out slots in the fork. The top bit holds the needle bearings in the right spot so when you slide over the steerer with the outer bearing races in they kinda roll together in exactly the right spot. It’s a mahoosive faff/impossible without them! Ideally I’ll print some kinda expanding wedge to hold the outer bearing races in the steerer but I just used an old inner tube pumped up. now all I need is to print another tool and get some 5wt oil to top up the damper and it’ll actually be pretty good again! Not that it needs to be for trials 🤣 it kinda unassembled itself on a ride internally, so I’m over the moon to get it running again!

The cannondale had some err issues, so I’ve had to print some tools to help with putting it back together. So far going well, and cheaper than the insane $100 dollars some dude on eBay wants for them.

If mclaren keep f**king themselves up with terrible decision making, then Ferrari are actually still very close and looking fast. Landos stop for tyres was just so poor. Side note - F1 is shit. they put out red flags/started under safety when all the cars were on inters. FFS Fia make them put on the wets. If they don't want to waste a pit stop for heavy rain, just let them fall off the track.

So it’s time for 24” wheels, and kids bikes are insanely priced, especially second hand, compared to what you can get in an adult size! anyone know of any uber short old school 26” frames I could mash some 24” wheels on? Amusingly If I hold the bike so he can climb on he can ride the cannondale with a 120mm stem on 🤣 he’s just got nowhere to go when he stops! or any other recommendations?

I was assuming after it worked they would cover it in something resiny to waterproof it a bit and fix the tracks. Or maybe actually just do the simple thing and design an actual board and get it made.

well they didn't tax the rich, soooo Id say same old nonsense, too scared to make any meaningful lasting change.

Yeah agree - they didn’t really finish the dials so there wasn’t any car progress. I would have preferred if they had made episodes to fill in about building the solder printer, that is a great build!

Well bugger me with a bunch of bananas, there’s a new binky episode.

presumably that's a rolling road ? How do you generate Yaw/wind angles/whatever you wanna call it?

Might sound like a stoopid question but do those bits hanging down to the model get faired? I know they are consistent but a fairly hideous shape? I’d have thought it was more ideal to have them be more aero neutral shapes? edit- like wouldn’t airflow off that potentially directly interact with the crazy bits on the back of the bike behind the seat?

I accidentally another bike…

Need some rims to fit an old school bike - what's the best options here? Doesn't seem to be a lot of choice out there for rim brakes Ideal would be something like a d521 and something a bit lighter up front.
