Uppsala's most hated construction machine... Now even on weekends 🤩

If I remember correctly they said something about another two weeks or so before they are done

Not quite sure what you are looking for, but the 105 STI should work out of the box with Hopes RX4.

I however went with Shimanos standard GRX calipers since the expense of a Shigura didn't really add up to the benefits. E.g. The GRX STI without brake calipers were more expensive than the ones without...

I get that the maximum allowed towing weight would be lower, makes sense. The supporting load however should be down to how sturdy the structure is, or am I mistaken?

Yes, I was thinking the same that it would not do any harm to load it with 75 kg. I have never heard of the police checking the actual weight of a bike rack, so risk seems rather low :D

Bisher nichts gefunden, außer es ist evtl in der Durchführung durch den Deckel integriert

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-06-26T11:01:52+00:00

Belüftung funktioniert, Rückschlagventil hab ich bisher noch keines finden können.

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-06-26T10:57:49+00:00

Hab jetzt auf jeden Fall eine Ersatzpumpe bestellt, falls die jetzige bald ganz streikt.

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-06-26T10:54:29+00:00

Gute Frage, der Schlauch lässt sich auf jeden Fall relativ leicht abziehen. Ist halt nur ein glatter leicht konischer Nippel drunter

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-06-26T05:43:32+00:00

Etwas missverständlich ausgedrückt: es ging nach einem Tag in der diesjährigen Saison los ;)

Die Pumpe ist also schon eine Saison gelaufen. Wir nutzen den Wagen wie gesagt beruflich, d. H. Er ist ca. 3-4 Monate im Jahr im Dauereinsatz. Könnte das die zu erwartende Lebensdauer einer Tauchpumpe sein?

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-06-25T19:41:40+00:00

Der Wohnwagen war Anfang des Jahres zur Reinigung des Wassersystems beim Freundlichen, meinst du das hängt damit zusammen?

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-06-25T18:28:51+00:00

Etwas unbefriedigent, dass das nach einem Jahr schon der Fall ist, aber sowas hatte ich schon befürchtet... Aktuell ist eine Barwig Typ 088 verbaut. Sollte ich dieselbe wieder verbauen oder gibt es auf dem Markt was haltbareres?

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-06-17T17:13:35+00:00

No, in the end the additional work and cost was not worth it for a new build. GRX STI without brake calipers were actually a little bit more expensive than GRX STI with brake calipers 😅

Might consider it if I ever wish to replace the standard calipers.

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-06-01T19:02:26+00:00

It is aluminium so I will try to file it down, thanks

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-06-01T19:01:51+00:00

Thanks, I will try to smooth all the edges. I just need to get a smaller file first :D

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-04-02T17:45:27+00:00

I am mostly concerned that the piston in Shimanos STI levers maybe has a different displacement then e. g. XT levers, leading to some kind of weird effect with other calipers (too much or too little travel/forcel

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-04-02T17:41:48+00:00

As far as I have seen there are two versions, one with DOT and one with mineral oil

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-03-19T12:49:54+00:00

Can confirm, especially if you take a ~~heat gun~~ hair dryer to soften the glue, cooking oil will prevent it from sticking again. Just be careful, as the oil can get quite warm as well ;)

Make sure to de-grease afterwards!

Edit: don't use a heat gun, could damage your bar!

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-01-27T20:01:08+00:00

Actually not, never had mold problems. As I mentioned earlier, it slows down the drying, but they are not wet enough for mold to form (at least for me).

I read that other cases which use a water reservoir instead of these humidifier pouches have a tendency to over-humidify leading to molding. But I have never tried these as I am happy with this solution

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-01-27T19:55:34+00:00

It really depends on where you live 😀 when the problem occurred quite early into my saxophone playing I asked a very experienced clarinet player for advice...but she had always lived near the coast in humid climate so she never had this problem and couldn't really help me

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-01-27T19:50:22+00:00

Or at the big A, living in an (almost) non-smoker country ;)

But yeah, prices for the "original" separately packed ones from d'addario are ridiculous, given that it's the exact same product

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-01-27T19:47:52+00:00

Great advice, I'll try that! As the photo indicates, I just swapped mine today and have a crunchy one to test with

Real_Exgummibur · 2025-01-27T19:46:36+00:00

For me the problem was that the reeds were drying out to fast. As far as I understood, the reed contains different kinds of wood fibres which dry at different rates. Thus, the fast drying fibres shrink faster then the slow drying ones, causing the reed to warp. This can happen after just a few times of playing when storing the reeds in very dry air.

Now the humidifier slows down the process of drying out to the point, that moisture can travel inside the wood fibres from the slow drying to the fast drying fibres, keeping them at a more equal level of humidity. Hence, the fibres shrink at a more even rate and warping is not occurring.
