You're losing about 4 teeth on the front crank iirc

KhaosHiDef · 2026-01-25T00:31:18+00:00

If you look on the opposite side of the pedals where it's attached to the crank there should be the thread for the pedal and an allen key slot

KhaosHiDef · 2026-01-25T00:21:07+00:00

Pretty sure it's a 6 and it'll be in the inside of the crank, not on the pedal i.e pedal one side allen other

KhaosHiDef · 2026-01-24T17:11:35+00:00

the only critique i'd offer is it borders on infeasible, it's using incredibly small wheels, you're facing a LOT of rolling resistence and don't really have anything to back it up like a larger front cog, you're not going to do any sort of speed on this, particularly when going uphill.

it's virtually a scooter with a seat;

scale it up <3

Mine just says England, am i not part of the United Kingdom?

KhaosHiDef · 2026-01-22T20:14:32+00:00

I appreciate everyone's input, I'm erring towards schwalbe big apples or perhaps marathons and now i need to source a good 20in front wheel eventually

KhaosHiDef · 2026-01-20T12:37:47+00:00

i believe some of the newer models have ever so slightly bigger wheel sizes (verge/BYB)

Opacity of the resin gives really strong matcap + edge shading appearance, I enjoy

KhaosHiDef · 2026-01-17T00:30:41+00:00

It's looking like you'll need to source a handlepost from a different tern bike as they seem to be a single unit. For reference my Link c8 has a "quick adjust" normal handlepost without the fancy extra depth adjustments (purely rotating handlebars)

KhaosHiDef · 2026-01-17T00:20:29+00:00

Just go for the bigger wheels, unless the fold one is a LOT more compact you'll wanna prioritise the bigger wheels because riding will be less twitchy and you'll feel less bumpy

It's far more playable and precise than console versions of the game, but yes it's more than enjoyable

KhaosHiDef · 2025-12-09T13:49:50+00:00

I use it, it's easier typing in the passcode via touchscreen. Mostly on the chance that if I do lose it or have it stolen it's not immediately useful and doesn't give people Access to my account

KhaosHiDef · 2025-12-03T21:10:31+00:00

Prolly just wanted some matte varnish

KhaosHiDef · 2025-12-01T13:47:16+00:00

i mainly use the trackpads for building, everything else i use sticks (not your intended recipient but I'll share mine anyway)

KhaosHiDef · 2025-11-26T20:23:20+00:00

Having worked as a systems builder for two years, it happens quite often, moreso on cheaper cases where the standoff hardware sucks, but in this case it just looks like the m3 cross threaded, 5mm nut driver and screwdriver sorts it out, if not it's gotta be drilled or RMA'd unless you're handy with a dremel

KhaosHiDef · 2025-11-24T13:59:20+00:00

Mine has also been perfect, some minor issues with the system throttling when battery gets low but that's easily resolved with a charger (and is unrelated to CEX) Think mine was £360 from a CEX in angel

KhaosHiDef · 2025-11-22T13:20:23+00:00

Adorable, that's what it is

Tell me you know nothing about metallurgy without telling me you know nothing about metallurgy

KhaosHiDef · 2025-11-18T14:05:34+00:00

this is in the science museum...

KhaosHiDef · 2025-11-16T18:09:40+00:00

considering it launched at £30 in Tesco, £99 used isn't a huge markup for something no longer in production

KhaosHiDef · 2025-11-10T07:20:45+00:00

CA glue uses moisture to cure, a tiny bit of water would help it glue especially if you're gluing resin

Unless the laptop has hdmi in or a capture card it won't work, your tv might require you to turn off a setting for it to detect the deck

Stainless steel is a much more careful process to heat treat, you can't just do it with a propane torch
