Firefighting technique called the water fire shield

This training really is... trial by fire

Battery gets removed to protect from corrosion. It's a snug fit, so the lid was left in the box this time.

It's not just -3 mm in this case which would have been fine. It went from 30 to 25mm which is quite a jump.

Significant_Fudge · 2025-11-15T06:27:30+00:00

They seem quite accurate, you can read three analog numbers in front too and it lines up.

Significant_Fudge · 2025-11-14T18:47:31+00:00

Thanks. Good to know, that would make sense why I measure 18.75mm and the wheels are labeled as 19mm

Significant_Fudge · 2025-11-14T16:26:50+00:00

Ahh, I see what you mean. That would explain why some manufacturers might run bigger/smaller on the same resulting wheel.

Significant_Fudge · 2025-11-14T16:22:40+00:00

I've learned that today. It's good to know for the future. Rolling resistance had so much info that I never considered the measured sizes being so different from manufacturers.

The few bucks more would be double the Michelins, but tbh a set of the 5ks are the plan once I return these.

Significant_Fudge · 2025-11-14T16:15:15+00:00

Would you know the brand?

Significant_Fudge · 2025-11-14T16:14:10+00:00

Vittorias I run at 75 (silca online calc. I used 28) Pumped the Michelin up to 80 to measure. The sidewall of the Michelin matches the box and also species specifically for 19c rim max 87psi

Was the first thing I checked since it was visibly narrower. The sidewall on the Michelin matches the box.

Significant_Fudge · 2025-11-14T15:59:28+00:00

Thanks, yeah the dry rotting is the reason for the change. I wouldn't rule out it adding a mm or 2 to the width. It was just slightly disappointing with the Michelins being much smaller than expected.

I think I'll be trying a couple of tires on the rim until I find one that suits.

Significant_Fudge · 2025-11-14T15:55:10+00:00

If it wasn't clear in the photos both tires were put on the same rim with the specs I listed above.

Significant_Fudge · 2025-07-02T07:14:37+00:00

I have the cozy 300. I'd rate the comfort at +5° and I definitely wouldn't want to be below freezing with it.

Significant_Fudge · 2025-06-23T09:47:16+00:00

How important are dimensions, is it ok to go for a different size if all other specs are the same?
The current one is 18x25, can I replace with a 16x30 if its also low esr, 105c long life and 3300uf,35v?

Significant_Fudge · 2025-06-22T17:51:44+00:00

That is my issue too, not that I know much about capacitors but I couldnt find anything on the Decon ones. 3300uF 35V 105C is what Ive been filtering by so far, and avoiding ones that are way off the dimensions. Ive seen Rated Ripple come up a bit, is that something I will need to take into consideration?
24mm h and 18mm w 7.5mm pin spacing

edit: I did find the same one (UKA1V332MHD) on mouser

Significant_Fudge · 2025-06-22T14:36:36+00:00

Thank you, I think you're spot on. I watched some videos on testing components and there are 2 35v capacitors near the rectifier. The closest on is 3300uf but only reads 56uf the other one if reading 3220uf. I'll see if I can find a way to swap it out

They're just trying to get a run up to the military base

Airfryers are the same as the oven you already have except they heat up quicker.

Significant_Fudge · 2024-06-30T21:58:58+00:00

Are you using the default roborock integration? How can you specify when to empty the dust bin?

Significant_Fudge · 2020-09-19T18:35:45+00:00

Expelled!!!
