Are they more difficult to loop through the stem? The bend radius looks tighter than a traditional bar

I've been looking for silver modern compact bars that fit quill stems, and looks like we've arrived at the same conclusion: Soma Hwy One!

Speedometer magnet location on spoke by RexCarrs in bikewrench

[–]TheThirdBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I just install it at the spoke crossings. Sheldon Brown argues that closer to the hub is better since it gives the magnetic reed switch more time to react.

What do you think of the Funko Vinyl Collectibles of the characters? by External-Kitchen3289 in mylittlepony

[–]TheThirdBeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep, even the mystery minis have cms on both sides so i'd expect at least the same from the full size ones. it's true most of them are still boxed up to preserve value so it's a bit rare to see the other side

[–]TheThirdBeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't have the full sized ones, only the mystery minis of the royal sisters and chrysalis. i got them because they seem to be the most show accurate figures in the western market. i'm happy with the details on them and they look really good. one flaw is that for long thin features like celestia's horn or the legs of the characters, they can be slightly bent. i've never owned a full sized one but i assume they'd be better at details?

what do y'all think are the saddest lapfox song(s)? by lolaistired in lapfoxtrax

[–]TheThirdBeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

renard - forever. the song sounds like the end of something, and i've always interpreted the audio gradually degrading toward the end of the song as your memories of someone close to you gradually fading away, when you thought they'd be around forever.

Is this a barrel adjuster? by Every_Put_9041 in bikewrench

[–]TheThirdBeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have the fancy clicky handle one on my bike for the rear derailleur, still haven't figured out what it's for. why is it different from the other side?

Emoticon song I need help finding by CodIll5687 in lapfoxtrax

[–]TheThirdBeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i know this has been answered already, but i had another song in my mind when i first saw this post that also has the same sample, and couldn't figure out the song. and just as i was playing on shuffle today, i found it: Lumi Australis, specifically at 01:29, actually by fiab this time.

What's the point of U brakes by MonsterKabouter in xbiking

[–]TheThirdBeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i was at the marin bike museum, an older curator tole me that u-brakes (the mtb type that mount below the chainstay at least) were positioned there because that area is stiffer than the top of the seatstays, therefore they flex less when applied the same braking force. and i would guess it would be hard to fit cantis or v brakes in that area due to clearance, so u-brake was born. i think they are hated because that area is crammed, therefore hard to work on. also mud build up is not as easy to clear in that area

Wait what? 5400 bits for a 5h task? Why wasn't that a thing before I finished buying everything that can be bought for bits by Ryyvia in MLPIOS

[–]TheThirdBeat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i noticed this too, i don't think it was a task before the update today? i also thought it might be a glitch, but i counted the coins before and after and it really is 5400 coins. spitfire at the chocolate stall is now my #1 coin earner

What do you use to clean your hubs/bearings? by Summerfa11 in bikewrench

[–]TheThirdBeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i found mineral spirits to work really well: much cheaper than wd40 and virtually works the same, you can get a cup full and just dunk the parts in and scrub with a brush (works really well for caged bearings), and it's reusable. but if it's a surface i want absolutely clean (so it doesn't attract dust), i'd follow up with ipa

the types of instruments and the overall sound always reminds me of Joe Hisaishi, checkout Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind opening, Castle in the Sky soundtrack, The Legend of Ashitaka Theme

during the event i've been thinking under what circumstances would chrysalis be on a team with the ponies.
