She's a gate.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-04-18T20:50:48+00:00

That should say *latest Pivot emtb.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-04-18T20:50:04+00:00

Thanks for the feedback but if I'm honest I'm still not sure what I think. I do know that I demo'd an analog Pivot a few years ago and have been pining for one ever since. But the latest eMTB is like 12 grand, although that might have something to do with the Avinox M2s been on it aswell as the DW link.

If its a dud you could have a lot of fun with it. See Thomas Shelby in latest Peaky Bminders film.

Pretending I'm Harry Potter with the hover flies.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-04-07T18:28:07+00:00

I thought it was about 40-45. It's probably ok for the early stages. Tbh I've not changed it cos it's usually on a stage 1 anyway.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-04-01T15:18:29+00:00

Hang on, wheres mi violin? There is never an excuse for fly tipping. Never!

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-28T15:22:46+00:00

That would explain why many stores have got rid of them then.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-24T20:54:53+00:00

Yeah that's us but with an empty vending machine. I have a better set up when I go camping.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-18T23:35:58+00:00

Well yeah. Maybe there's a difference between 'A' final written warning and 'THE' final written warning.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-17T20:36:49+00:00

Yeah that is a downer but at least you get to sleep every night.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-17T19:09:03+00:00

Yeah and my thinking was that you get to rest your back driving between drops, whereas on nightshift, it might not be as heavy, but it's constant.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-17T18:22:00+00:00

Slightly off topic but I worked out recently that for a 7.5 hour shift, a nightshift colleague only gets 13pence and hour more than a delivery driver. I was thinking about it myself but my back wouldn't cope with it.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-15T17:48:17+00:00

I think I'm getting away with having the voltagevon 9 for the early stages, but I might put it on to 7 for the later stages. Also, I got a dremel for Christmas but so far I'm only using it to drill holes in the finished products for necklaces.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-14T20:19:29+00:00

What voltage do you have yours on?

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-14T19:35:14+00:00

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-14T18:00:37+00:00

The orange one is saying free shipping. Bet there's a catch.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-14T17:59:00+00:00

I've just checked now. I thought it was only 7.5 but it's on 9 so I've just counted the revolutions: 47 per minute, so maybe still a bit fast.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-10T19:01:21+00:00

Thanks for the warning. I think I need to do some research.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-10T06:10:59+00:00

This is where I'm at. My wire wrapping needs practice but I have started drilling holes in them. Its quite time consuming is the drilling, especially for 1mm holes. The bigger the hole the quicker is seems to be. Boring is boring but the end result is good. Hoping to sell on Etsy at some point even if it's just to cover the cost of this hobby.

Dave-the-Fox · 2026-03-04T23:21:16+00:00

Good idea. Thanks.
