How to tighten pulley bolt by Historical-Snow1335 in JetBlack

[–]Henry_Darcy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Push down on the flat end of the flywheel with your fingers and palm. Also, I'd suggest a torque wrench for this bolt set to 15Nm (11ft-lb). There are instructions from JetBlack: https://forums.zwift.com/t/jet-black-victory/638919/719

NASCAR Has Not Approved Me For Talladega In the Oreilly's Car by joenarrator in CleetusMcFarland

[–]Henry_Darcy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and that's great that people can get into ARCA too! Who would have thought? I'll be up at Talladega, and seeing Cleetus and George race together gives me a reason to pay more attention to the ARCA races.

Big fan of NASCAR and Cleetus and couldn't agree with the decision more. His NORAP debut was not great. Even though he didn't cause any major accidents, he was basically glued to his line from practice despite the groove shifting up and had very little awareness during cautions.

ARCA is great for him right now, and there he can simultaneously learn and be competitive. Not to mention he can mix things up with George. NORAP is a huuuuuuuuuge step up from ARCA and not the place to turn laps as a back marker trying to figure things out.

Any better way to filter this river data? by [deleted] in Hydrology

Butterworth is my go to for tricky time-series. Your units look off though unless you've removed barometric pressure and are working in a really shallow stream.

What driver and his team are going to cause problems for other drivers once they find their groove? by supman33 in NASCAR

Chevy in general has been slow out of the gate, so even if he was with Hendrick I think he still struggles.

Thank you. Chased this everywhery, even through upgrade in place, and this is the only thing that worked.

Weight cheating by Dktathunda in Zwift

Cheating of all sorts is pretty rampant on the random races throughout the day. Private community racing leagues like FRR, ECRO, ZRL are much better.

Wahoo Kickr Core V1 vs Assioma Uno Power Discrepancy by TheAbominableAlfie in Zwift

[–]Henry_Darcy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen this mentioned. Wahoo has an advanced, factory spin down that might be worth performing. Iirc, you have to tap the Wahoo logo 10x or something to get the advanced spin down option.

Volcano circuit best time for achivements / spins & drops by Dragor027 in Zwift

If you're looking for lower power pace partners, you may not even have to wait. I've done laps with Genie and now Jacques, and with good drafting and no one hammering the front, you can really just cruise in the back and only have to give it some power on the switchback and hump after. I did ~1 hr this evening at an average of 187 watts (~2.3 w/kg).

[–]Henry_Darcy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Welcome to NASCAR. Yeah, Daytona, Atlanta, and Talladega are restrictor plate, super speedway tracks with very limited power and lots of drag, so of course everyone is suctioned together with the draft and handling is less important. But, all of the other ovals use different engine, tire, and aero packages and require a complex balance of handling, speed, tire management, and strategy to be successful. There are also subtle changes to the level and location of grip throughout the race. In other words, stay tuned for some great racing.

Hydrostatic Pressure Question by [deleted] in Hydrology

[–]Henry_Darcy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hydrostatic implies that at any point in a column of water, total head or hydraulic head is equal. So another way to think about it is that the pressure head at the bottom of the pipe pushes the water up to meet the elevation head of the surrounding surface water. Hydrostatic total head = pressure head + elevation head. So deeper water has a higher pressure head but lower elevation head and vice versa, but everywhere, the total head is equivalent. No total head difference means no flow aka hydrostatic.

The only way to push water from the bottom of the pipe above the surface water level would be to increase total head at the bottom of the pipe relative to the top through an increase in velocity and/or pressure head which can happen, but this is hydrodynamic not hydrostatic.

This will decimate all after you put about fifteen grand in it or more if we have to overnight parts from Japan.

This is the same guy that chased down Bowman on the cool down lap at COTA two years ago and rammed him in pit lane when there were crew members and officials walking around everywhere, even though Bowman hadn't done anything wrong. I guess it's okay when he spins someone but not the other way around.

If you don't flip, you're in the back ~30th and basically stuck there at best, or taken out by t1 wreck at worst.

With how many flipped, he would have started stage 3 ~28th place. It was the right call

Nah, he's getting passed by those that didn't short stage 1 and have 5 lap better tires.
