    What are you listening to!?!

    Casually riding down the bike path and had to pull over to see what I was listening to-

    You bastard! Whole bunch of new engine bits, then temp reads high. Tested both senders at room temp and in boiling water, same values. Put the new one in and it reads in the red, old one is mid scale.

    >>> sunny day gmt <<<<

    I have finally ordered every bit for my hardatail but I am now too poor to be able to afford a frame so I can sell the Torrent off as a complete bike. Gave up on re-using anything from the wheels I built a couple of months back, the only decent part of the wheels was the spokes. So the horrible...

    >>> sunny day gmt <<<<

    I wrote the day off as a nothing day, no bike riding. Went and picked up my old welder from a mate and had a play with it, could not get it to weld at all. Turned out I'd forgotten the polarity hadn't been switched to suit the solid core wire. Seems I didn't apply for my old job and the listing...

    Had An Idea (disc brake pads that are really sanding blocks of abrasive material?)

    Surely slapping a motor on a two wheel trainer would be more fun, plus E-bikers would be able to go for an indoor ride on a traditional bike without having to do anything, win win. I stupidly bought some light weight rotors a few years back, new pads didn't touch the center of the rotor for...

    Pole Bikes hates Ridemonkey

    I didn't miss my balfa at all, my 37 pound hardtail was all I needed at that time. It had the momentum that 29er people carry on about but with the nimbleness of 26" wheels. Back to Pole, their 5yr transferable warranty seemed pretty crazy and I always wondered what would happen to the bond if...

    For all things Sapim, this site seems pretty cheap- https://www.wheel-parts.shop/en/spokes/ Have gone CX-Ray for the fronts and CX-Sprints for the rear, probably a stupid idea on a hardtail.

    Aren't they part of Polygon? They seem to have the same issues with cracking. If Kona come back I'd love to see a new 111 with a 64deg HA and 490mm reach, oh and no Trunnion.

    Tool Nerds, Questions and Tool Snobbery

    Ahhhh, workshop work, so much easier than just using the selection of tools in the work truck. Deep offset spanner, little head ratchet, just stroll over to the toolbox. Silly little locators, slide hammer time. Edit Note to self, never buy spring compressors with a drive on one end only...

    Cool, he did a good job on the torrent, it's nice to have a BB that actually let's you pedal in the bits that aren't flow trail smooth. But I need longer stays so my foot doesn't hit the mech.
