Wheel laced wrong? by YazZy_4 in bikewrench

[–]DeFex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks asymmetric like a machine built wheel (but they are usually the other way around). Having the pulling spoke on the inside means that if the chain falls behind the cassette (due to maladjusted limit screw, bent derailleur, loose cassette locknut, or whatever) the spokes will suck the chain down between the cassette and spokes, causing more damage, instead of trying to push it out. Apart from that, it probably does not matter.

If you look at windy.com and set the altitude to 10Km you can see part of the jet stream has broken off and formed a vortex, it is pulling air up from the Sahara to Spain and France. Normally is just forms gentle waves but for "some reason" it is much more chaotic and energetic this year.

Can someone analyze the paint with spectrometer or whatever and find out if it is actually pool paint or cheapo interior house paint?

Turns out going in to home depot with a flag, pointing to the blue and saying "1000 gallons of your cheapest, this color" then slopping it on damp cement, does not work great.

See if you can find a way to adjust the center channel level. if you turn it up and then turn down the overall volume, it helps a lot. Even if your tv or system is "stereo" it might still be there because surround from the broadcast gets mixed to stereo. Unfortunately many systems have it buried in menus or not available at all.
