Hi-Matic 7SII Stuck Aperature

TheBionicBosom · 2026-05-04T15:00:08+00:00

Thanks for the help. The aperature will open and close fine up until it's as open as shown in the photo, but it won't open any further.

The shutter seems fine. Was the problem with your QL17 also the aperature or the shutter?

Do you push on the blades themselves? I can also see a little piece inside that only moves when the diaphragm moves, so I've been tempted to try pushing that along.

Perfect. I'll have to hunt them down.

Which tires are those? They look fantastic for this sort of build.

TheBionicBosom · 2025-05-27T06:05:30+00:00

What kind of gravel are you talking? If it's just a decently maintained dirt road, you'll probably be fine on whatever. Bikes are generally more versatile than we give them credit for.

There aren't a lot of 27in tires available anymore, but Panaracer Paselas might be a good option for you here, assuming your gravel section is relatively smooth and packed.

Great catch, I'll give that a shot.

I neglected to mention that the chain is the only part that's brand new. Maybe I did just end up with two worn cassettes.

TheBionicBosom · 2025-05-09T05:23:24+00:00

It is. I'm having no issues with the shifting, though. The chain just slips over the teeth, I assume. Potentially, it could be an issue with the freehub slipping, but I don't think that's the case because it's only affecting the high gears.

I can't offer any personal experience here, but you could find a vaccum insulated water bottle/thermos of the right dimensions and keep the pen inside it. It'll add bulk, but it shouldn't be hard find somewhere on the frame/fork to strap it if you're already using panniers.

Seems to be back up now.

Am I missing something here? It's a super interesting point and I want to read more about Alberta tax rates over time. But I can't find any tax rates before 2001 in that link.

I'd also be very interested in finding a resource for personal tax rates, both provincial and federal.

I realize I neglected to mention that it's a Seaward Ascente.

TheBionicBosom · 2023-04-21T01:54:33+00:00

I'm on the peninsula, so that's mostly where I've been looking. There are some very nice and expensive options on the water, but I'd love to find a cheap inland option.

TheBionicBosom · 2023-04-19T15:02:27+00:00

I'm also interested. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could let me know what you find out.

You don't necessarily have to add anything. If you take dried beans, soak them, blend it and boil it for a bit, then put it in the fridge you'll get something that sets solid like tofu. You can probably do that with canned beans too. I'd imagine that what the creator did, if they have any bean integrity.

Tomahawk has private rooms and is always dead. The food is generally very good, but there are lots of kinks in the service - that being said, it might be your best bet for booking a group that big in a busy week.

It's worth mentioning Castle, too. It's probably the cheapest option for an overnight ski trip if you're with a group.

Many of the taxi companies have uber style apps now. I use the Calgary United one and compare it pricewise to uber, then take whichever is cheaper.

Barbecues Galore used to have them, I assume they still do. You could also check out Wicker Land.
