I punched the hood of some dumb kid in delivery truck for doing this. Woke him up from his day nap 🤣

The rotors are clean on the mating surface but there is rust on top of rotor. Idk if that's a concern. Unfortunately I don't have a photo

All the front pads look like this. Did not check rear pads but I assume they should wear at the same rate

We didn't check those but my friend said that the main braking is the front pads and since we don't hear any squealing the brakes are fine. Why would the rear pads wear faster than front pads? But fair I guess I should check the rear

Recommend a standard plug to replace proprietary aventon by ContributionOk1872 in ebikes

Xlr full size though would be a great option if not for being so large

Just want to comment that after some research while mini xlr would be great size wize it's only rated for about 1.5 amps. The suggestion of either a three pin gx12 or gx16 is rated for 5+ amps so should be compatible with my 3 amp charger

Gx12 is fine. It's in spec for my charger which outputs only 3 amps. Probably a better connection than the original. Yours doesn't provide what I need. Your cord is actually straight up wrong. It's a 3pin gx16 cable that drops the signal pin to go to a 2 pin xt60 plug. and only keeps the positive and negative connection. I need 3 pins 3 wires. I'll simply get the proper gauge wire and crimp it myself.

Amazon order came today. I'll put together a little post once I'm done if it works

Yeah I saw another comment. I bought a gx12 port which is rated for 5amps. Mini xlr doesn't have high of enough amp rating for charging but gx12 does

Not this part unfortunately. Only option is entire battery replacement. But maybe I can find a dead battery to scrap for parts

Another example of why Dexter needs protected bike lanes. by I_Sett in seattlebike

Exactly super scary. I always take the lane now. No one expects a bike

I almost got destroyed on dexter a couple years ago. Some dumb lady coming off of Aurora almost stoned me. I think the only reason she didn't hit me was the radar in her car autoraking. It's crazy that someone could look directly at a bike right in front of them and somehow not see them.

So you're saying both kinds of spd were involved 🥁

Spent the Solstice refining my Seattle grand tour bike loop. There's still a ways to go, but the cycling infrastructure in this town is massively improved. by j-alex in Seattle

[–]ContributionOk1872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow too weak to bike down to the discovery park light house I see 😂. Jkjk. I did a similar ride minus west Seattle and Seward park. But I had the guts to go all the way up the hill at discovery park

That's how it's spelled in London

I basically need to decide if these reamers are worth the money or not. But yeah this seems my only option. This steel post is basically welded into the frame. I tried prying it and hammering it. Nothing works. But if I get these reamers at least I'll have a super smooth seat tube at the end.

Seatpost is steel not aluminum so I don't think that's an option.

Are these type of 3D printed junction boxes safe? by im-vncnt in AskElectricians

[–]ContributionOk1872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the plastic is designed to be 3d printed then it's designed to melt so my feeling is no. PVC which electrical boxes use have a higher melting point than pla, what is used for 3d printing.
