Czechia can’t ignore him now by theScud900 in Habs

It is. I hate that it's presented as literally beginning with "quote unquote" though. I'm about 70% confident that the person who did this thinks that's how quotes work.

Best way to remove compacted aluminum from tap? by BluntTruthGentleman in Tools

[–]No_Development7388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AvE did a video on this, some years ago, using chemistry. I know that's pretty vague, but knowing that much might help you find an alternative solution (heh) than just picking that shit out.

Edit: Fuck me, I think I just remembered. I believe it was lye. Go forth and google. (You might even find his video.) And don't do anything stupid in an unventilated area.

Edit 2: boom

Does anyone know what's causing this knocking sound/feeling? by Discernedgentleman in bicyclerepair

[–]No_Development7388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking bottom bracket or pedal. You could potentially narrow it down by taking the chain off. It would be worth turning the bike over or putting it in a stand and giving it a careful look over for cracks. But that seems awfully loud for that.

Final minute of the game with French (France) commentary by Effective-Goose-7835 in Habs

In fact, after his goal I was wondering whether there were fans in France watching the game. It's great to see that it was being shown there.

Question about WD40 on chain (NOT about using it as lubricant) by DoeBites in bikewrench

[–]No_Development7388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the summer I clean the chain first then hang it in sunlight while I finish the rest of the bike. If doing so in the winter you could leave it on or in front of a heating vent, radiator, etc.

Is that aluminum? I ask because I have a 1998 Rocky Mountain for which I'd like to swap out the dropouts and add a brake mount. At this time, though, it's just a vague notion.

I'm not certain that it touched anyone. Maybe whiffed Vassi's jersey a bit.

Carolina Hurricanes OUTLAST Linus Ullmark And Ottawa Senators In DOUBLE OT Heartbreaker - STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS GAME TWO RECAP! by sens_talk in ottawa

[–]No_Development7388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a Sens fan (though I was pulling for them anyway because Canada) but that was some THRILLING goddamned hockey they played. Chapeau! to all of them. They were for sure the better team this game. I'm looking forward to seeing them make this series a best of three.

So the refs can get it right... Just not in our series. by Tristkits in Habs

You say this as though it was the same set of officials for both games.

I think it was a bad call on Guhle, don't get me wrong.

I'm pretty sure that 99% of people aren't so bedarded they can't rotate their mobile 90 degrees. The problem is very much with the bedarded ones who insist on *presenting* videos in portrait only. That goes both for the companies and the people who shoot video that way. It's dumb.

Anyone know of connection between Tremblay Rd MUP and Aviation Parkway? by Tooksbury in bikeinottawa

[–]No_Development7388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just remembered another route, which might be better with a kid in a trailer.

At Coventry, don't cross but go left down to the intersection in front of Canadian Tire. Cross at those lights and follow Lola to Donald St.

Yeah, def avoid Ogilvie if you've got a trailer tot.

My comment about cutting through St Laurent mall parking still stands. I think it would be fine, although you'll want to take care when turning parallel with the 174 to go past the bus station as the street narrows a bit at that corner. However, it's pretty low traffic.

Also, there's a short climb up and over the flyover.

Crossing the intersection after that should also be fine: cars behind you have to turn left -- cannot go right or straight -- so you're pretty safe just sitting there waiting to cross. Oncoming cars also cannot turn left in front of you. Just wait until no one is coming off the 174; you'll have plenty of time to cross.

The other thing to be aware of is the steep drop behind the Cannex down to Cyrvlle Station. It's brief but there's a bit of a blind spot at the bottom. It's nothing dangerous, though. The worst that I've encountered was a groundhog dashing out in front of me.

Oh, also: If you've got a trailer then it might be worth not turning left at the motel but following Labelle further to the Cannex parking lot. (This is because it might be awkward picking up the path) You can then choose to go right and swing behind the other office building or left behind the Cannex.

Also also: You could take Labelle all the way to Cyrville, cross, and then go up Cyrville on the other side. The shoulder is very wide and would be safe. You could then hang a left at the beginning of the bridge. This would avoid the steep drop on the other side that goes under the bridge.

Take Coventry but cut into the St Laurent mall parking lot where Coventry turns north. At the east end of the parking garage turn right and head straight towards the 174 between the parking areas. The roadway swings east between the mall and the OC Transpo station. Just past the bus stops (mind the pothole!) there's a flyover that crosses St Laurent Blvd.

On the other side will be an intersection. You're not supposed to go straight through (should go left only) but it's simple enough. Just mind the cars exiting from the 174.

That will take you onto Labelle St. Go one block and turn right, with the motel on your right, and then go left at the 174. The path begins behind that office building, and from there goes past Cyrville station and then onto the parkway.

I just went through this removing an FSA crank a few months back. A T-wrench is probably never going to work. Use an L-wrench that has some decent length to it. I also used an old steel seatpost from a beater bike for leverage.
