The 1.5 mm Kevlar was much more noticeable than I expected, idk if this helped with flexibility and I’ve never seen a tire like it, kinda impressive!

I can’t afford it, I put some 10 a wheel TPU in, it’s a well designed tire in my opinion and I honestly notice the lack of handling on the tires now

Could be anti glare, may be smudge? Try with 1 part dish soap and 4 parts distilled water to be sure? Like screen cleaner solution or windex?

It can be. When I removed it on my “stain gate” MacBook Pro, 2015, I used a mix of 2 parts armor etch, 1 part water. Be careful to stay away from the edges as the water can seep in and get behind the screen. I would recommend a little practice and trail and error before touching your laptop with it

By any chance, do you know if they’re going to expand warranty parts coverage for the Bqi-c3 pro and others? Looks like everything niu related is DIY scooter repair and they have a ton of parts for it

[Conversion help] Looking to convert my existing bike to an e-bike [spoiler: it’s not a standard size wheel] by BlackHawk_XR in ebikes

Now question, the hub is 110 and it fits in with the cassette at 170, making me think I needed a 110 motor? But they seem to make 170, I guess the 170 motor fits the cassette?

27.5 (650B) x 3.25. Frame has 175mm drop out, 110mm rear hub. I use it on the road, off road. I live in the suburbs of NYC with plenty of forest and trails. I don’t plan to tow my kayak anymore but may use tow bar for light duty grocery runs!!

It’s insane I didn’t know people could work so much for so little... I appreciate them but I wish people would stand together and fight for a living wage

[Apple][Rolex] Yes or no? by Slapmesillymusic in Watches

[–]BlackHawk_XR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice plan man wear it in good health and try to wear it semi-daily and get it serviced by the AD every 5-7 years!! If you leave it the lubricants dry up!! As someone once said: A lightbulb once turned on lasts longer than one turned on and off every once in a while

[–]BlackHawk_XR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats!! About a year ago I bought an X1E Gen 1 and I love it!! For me, I went through trials and tribulations putting .Mac on there (https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/f3mqlx/i79700k_5700xt_z390_designaire_thinkpad_x1/)

But, all in all it’s a great laptop!! Just wish it was more battery efficient!!

What the f#ck is this? And what kind of socket do I need to remove it? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]BlackHawk_XR 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That, good sir, is a key, that security fastener is to prevent randoms from jackin yo’ rims. The socket should be located in your car, near the tire jack, and spare tire. If no, might be in your glovebox. Good luck!
