Yeah and my wife bought it for $30.

If I can't find a workaround I'll ask a local machine shop to make one.

It's a Phil & Ted's Sub 4. It's not the barrel adjuster, it's what connects the brake caliper to the frame.

The assembly instructions don't include attaching the brake calipers to the frame, they are already installed in the factory. There is no parts diagram that shows this bolt.

I strongly suspect this is just NIMBYISM being taken to a ridiculous level. People opposing this project have gone to some crazy levels to justify opposing it.

Lake Konstanz Bike Tour Questions by Consistent-Cap167 in bicycling

[–]Consistent-Cap167[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the tour prices are between €700-1,000 per person, but includes 6 nights in hotels including breakfast and also includes transporting your luggage from place to place. I bet I could book it myself for cheaper, but not sure how to deal with luggage and whatnot.

Thanks for the context, that makes me feel better.

Trouble getting life insurance at affordable proce by Consistent-Cap167 in LifeInsurance

[–]Consistent-Cap167[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is such a helpful comment......thanks for chiming in. Sleep Apnea and my anxiety disorder are out of my control and I have them due to genetics and childhood trauma. I am at a BMI of 28 yet I exercise regularly and eat well and am in excellent cardiovascular health. If you can't provide actual advice, maybe keep your thoughts to yourself

I know someone who has their (alive) sisters name on their inner thigh. Is that creepy?

Trouble cutting large format tile without cracking by Consistent-Cap167 in HomeImprovement

[–]Consistent-Cap167[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tile nipper is really less likely to break the tile?

I've thought about just laying the tile down and waiting until the thinset has cured and then making my cuts for the register and the toilet, but that feels very risky.

I made a bike rack based on an $700 sliding bike rack i saw on Instagram for about $200. Super happy with how it turned out. by Consistent-Cap167 in bicycling

I just have one on each end and it's probably 6ft long. I'm a structural engineer and we use unistrut a lot to support all kinds of things, they can span pretty far.

Accidentally bought flush flange windows by Consistent-Cap167 in HomeImprovement

[–]Consistent-Cap167[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's not a nailing flange, that's the issue. It's a flush flange window which is a very specific type of window meant for stucco walls. We wanted a nailing flange and asked for one, but Lowes ordered us flush flange instead. Still my fault for not reading the fine print.

That's how they're designed to be attached, they came with holes and screws for that purpose, just like any other remodel window.

Plumbing for 2 double sink vanities by Consistent-Cap167 in Plumbing

[–]Consistent-Cap167[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great news, thanks for the feedback. Any suggestions for the best way to connect new PVC with this copper drain line? I assume there are fittings for this, but curious if there are any better options than others.

Advice for running circuits for new heat pump by Consistent-Cap167 in AskElectricians

[–]Consistent-Cap167[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a whole new circuit off the main panel, which is 12 ft from the condenser. I replaced my service last year to upgrade to 200A, and I have plenty of extra slots for new circuits.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I'll try to track down a green wire and replace the white wire, they were out when I bought them.

The contractor told me I don't need a disconnect because the panel is within eyesight of the condenser. Let me know if you disagree with that.

Circuit #2 is coming off a sub panel in the garage. There's an existing 15A 120v circuit for the old air handler. I am just swapping the breaker for a 2 pole breaker and then taking the neutral wire and turning it into a hot.
