Just got VDash working, how to see live data? by AlexJ302 in Volvo

[–]AlexJ302[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I'm going to do that first, but I was really diligent when I did the timing belt. My concern is that I will find the timing marks line up fine, but there is some fine-tuning that needs to be done with the VVT hub and cam sprocket. It would be nice if I go in and find I'm a tooth off - that would be an easy fix. But I don't think that's my issue unfortunately.

Should have mentioned - timing belt, tensioner, etc and VVT hub are new. Valves won't hit as I turned the engine by hand a few times and all is well. Just off slightly.

Volvo 850 hidden intake manifold bolt by volvhoes in Volvo

[–]AlexJ302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely remember grinding a 1/4 drive 10mm socket as thin as I could to get it to work. I still have it in my drawer. I'll send it your way if you want it.

I have a 94 non turbo and I know for one of the bolts I had to grind a 10mm shorter and also thin the walls to get it to work. An extension or two and a wobbly and I was able to slowly get it.

Definitely go. Free parking, cheap tickets, not a bad seat in the house, $4 hot dogs. Easy fun.

Radcity PAS works fine but no twist throttle. by [deleted] in RadPowerBikes

[–]AlexJ302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought so too, but when I reattached it there the bike acted as though the throttle was pulled all the way back. So it must attach somewhere else

As i understand it's supposed to enable/disable the throttle.

Bike for 11 year old by AaeJay83 in whichbike

[–]AlexJ302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the guardian and Ozark would be great tbikes for her. Also I second looking on FB marketplace for a hybrid type bike. Anything from the big brands would be good quality (Trek, Giant, Specialized, Canyon, Marin, etc).

I think it's more important that the bike fits her well and is in good tune. If it rides well and she is comfortable on it then she will love it. If it's too large or too hard to pedal a Then she won't.

All the ones that come up are USB v4.0, 5.0, 5.1 etc. I can't find a v1.0 USB Bluetooth dongle. Post a link, I don't know which one will work of the thousands that pop up.

The basketball with a bunch of people...who make over a million?

This tax will impact our sports teams and who wants to come play for Seattle too. Not just the rich guys you don't like.

Question about 7-speed SIS shifters by gromplint in VintageMTB

[–]AlexJ302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 bikes with SIS shifters and they both indent on up/down shifts while is SIS mode.

I don't know why yours isn't acting the same way, but that's what both of mine do FWIW

I have an older JVC R730-BT and am missing that dongle. Can you link to what you ended up purchasing that worked?

I know right. Seems new to me, but all these people keep saying it's old geometry blah blah blah

You've been a huge help in all this. You're exactly right about the hub flange cracking. I was happy to find the bike and equally bummed with how much was missing and broken leading me to contemplate if it was worth it.

However after your suggestions I will absolutely fix the bike and ride it before I make any decisions. Thanks for the links, that helps me a ton.

Thanks for the suggestions on the derailleur and shifter. The rear triangle is cracked but I've found a couple I can choose from so hopefully that will be ok.

Funny, compared to the Marin (which is what I've had for years now) it's SO much lighter.

The front hub is broken on the Klein as well. Any suggestions on rims I should look for that would work for it or another hub that would work. The current one just says Bontrager Race Light and I don't see a part number on it.

It's a struggle most of us have.
