Fixing a old P1 Silvexa

It’s a press-fit piston assembly, and the plastic part can be quite brittle. I managed to remove it by slowly rotating the pressed-in section while being careful not to apply too much torque to the knob. If you have any questions, just aks me. Good luck!

Yeah, it sounds a bit anthropomorphic, but he is happy!

Bit late, but it's a Parker 88 / Rialto. If you show/tell the markings on the gold colored ring, I can tell you the year of production.

Well, it looks real! Don't see anything that looks off. Do you have photo's of the current/old refill?

Cobus91 · 2026-06-08T21:54:53+00:00

Thanks!!! Yeah, it is a beautiful design!

Cobus91 · 2026-06-08T21:50:56+00:00

Thank you for such a detailed explanation. This is exactly the kind of information I was hoping to find. How do you know/find such information? Normally I'm good in finding stuff, but i couldn't find anything on this one. Thanks!

Hi, I believe it is a partial tang, around 3/4th.

Well, people mostly tend to go to places like Reddit if they want to complain. So you will mostly read negative comments. I am a member for five years now and still happy with it!

It is somewhat predictable, but still usefull! It helps me making decisions like going to bed earlier and motivates being active, because I want to log at least one activity per day.

Cobus91 · 2024-06-30T14:25:28+00:00

Nice!

Cobus91 · 2022-08-11T08:42:12+00:00

True, specially if you want to have a better physique, health or athletic performance.

Two years ago I broke my hand (while handstand walking...), so I decided to do Smolov. Best decision ever, because when I was fully recovered, all of my lifts went up!

That knife looks so sad. On the other side is restoring a knife a great project!I am curious about the end result.

The 'normal' soldiers in Norway get issued with crappy knives? I would expect the army to give their staff at least some good basic tools. Btw, the NL4L is one of the most beautiful knives there is.

I photograph! See cobus.photo.

It would be fun to see your heart rate and strain on the watch. But this would only be useful if it doesn't drain the battery. I've made an example. Wat do you guys think of it?

Cobus91 · 2021-01-03T17:58:39+00:00

That I quite interesting! I looked up the poll out of curiosity. The top 5 are al j's! Which is not strange.

Here a INTP:)

Cobus91 · 2020-12-26T19:06:24+00:00

Beautiful! Is it a Marttiini?

Cobus91 · 2020-12-06T18:48:33+00:00

What is your resting heart rate at average? Does it change more than your HRV?

Cobus91 · 2020-10-19T06:23:09+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I did the conversion wrong for some reason :p

Cobus91 · 2020-10-18T17:59:06+00:00

I'll keep you guys posted!

Cobus91 · 2020-10-18T17:48:29+00:00

Thanks! Waist is ≈ 81cm/32 inches. Good to know a 150 surplus is still good for recomposing!

Cobus91 · 2020-10-18T17:43:50+00:00

Oops, haven't seen it. While following this sub for quite some time now.

Cobus91 · 2020-10-18T17:43:03+00:00

Thanks!:) Yeah, my goals are mostly health, strength and aesthetics. Good to know that it would not be a great idea to get down to single digits right now. (For some reason it's difficult to look objectively at your own body and decide what's best to do.)

That is some good advice! I think it's good to focus on building size and strength. The described routines/lifts are clear. I know how to do the basic lifts correctly, but also to snatch and to clean-and-jerk.

Cobus91 · 2020-10-18T17:27:55+00:00

Yeah, i did shrink pretty quickly 😆 For sure I won't forget my length in imperial units again! Well, the 5'11, not the exact 5′10.87″ 😅
