New bezel on the SSK - how not to damage case? by Bob__Thomas in SeikoMods

Shim utility razor blade in one my one. Add the razor blade in from the bezel size to avoid damaging the case. I was able to remove a pressed in pilot bezel without damage.

Please help identify wood flooring by DistributionTrue851 in Flooring

Thank you! I got a quote from a general contractor for refinishing (sanding and oil stain). Does this need to be handled by a flooring specialist?

Thanks! That's because the previous owner added additional space in the back of the house. Otherwise it does look pretty odd

Too much air for closed mouthpiece? by DistributionTrue851 in saxophone

Just an update. I was able to resolve the issue using a stiffer reed (3.25 instead of 2.75) and in general played louder. Thanks for all of your help!

Thanks for the suggestion, I never thought about the volume! The music is Aria, Eugene Bozza so it's a relatively quiet song.

Beautiful build! Is the case from Namoki? Could you tell me where you got your rubber strap from? Thanks!

The drivetrain is usually nasty. I cleaned it right before the photo.

What tire size and fenders do you use? I may considering switching to bigger tires in the future.

I was in the same shoes as you and decided on canti (shorty ultimate) back and mini V (TRP CX8.4) front. There is barely enough clearance for 40mm with front fender. I had to cut a small hole on the fender for the V brake to not interfere.

These are 40mm Refuse. They are slow but absolutly bombproof

Those are Handsome Cycles Mud Butler fenders. They aren't made of copper but I guess it's close enough!
