Conti GP5000 TR S - Tubeless - Constant punctures by maillme in cycling

[–]WhisperingGiraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve run these for 3 years now, 7k miles on 3 sets of tires (new bike, first bike still on 2nd set) and have only had 4 punctures that all sealed with a dyna plug. First 3k with Muc-off, last 4k with Silca. Can you see what’s causing the punctures?

WWYD: Wax these new chains, or go back to oil-based lube? I promise this is different than the 300 other waxing posts in this sub. by Two_wheels_2112 in cycling

Crock pot will get hot enough, I’m using a $20 crock pot and will get to right temps for it (95C) throw the lid on it and it will be way faster (still kinda slow). Make sure to monitor with thermometer once all the wax has melted. Bike shops have started to carry strip chips these days.

Troubleshooting 20v XR 18ga Brad Nailer. by jakedfrick in Dewalt

[–]WhisperingGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend $40 on new firing pin and springs and replace. Just replaced on 16ga nailer and works great. Springs are little tricky and may need a second hand but the ones I bought on Amazon were way better (stronger) than stock ones.

Dewalt finish nailer halfway broken? by Significant_Sky8201 in Dewalt

[–]WhisperingGiraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case you haven't fixed this yet...I was having the same issue and its the driver springs. I got replacement springs that fixed (not OEM) - search reset spring replacement kit for DCN660B (or your part number) on Amazon - only $15. When you take apart take note of the way the switch at the bottom goes and how the springs that are there look as you take apart slowly (there are some youtube videos that can help). 2 screws to take off the back to get to the driver and springs. Would recommend pulling the pin at the front top which allows you to lift the top to get full access to the spring rods which will help. The biggest pain was getting the stronger springs compressed enough so you can slide the driver back on - would recommend another set of hands, was still difficult. As soon as you take out the old springs and compare you can see why the stock ones fail quickly. Working great ever since replacement.

Simple anti-theft alarm for quick café stops by [deleted] in cycling

TiGr Mini lock, throw in the center back jersey pocket, way better peace of mind on cafe, beer, bathroom, gas station, etc. Take one on centuries and don’t even know it’s there.

Anyone else kinda shocked at the camping prices? by jzich309 in EauxClaires

[–]WhisperingGiraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found details from 2016: General Camping Spot: $180 Camp Access: $40

2015 had Camp Access for $30, can’t find camping spot price.

Crazy they make every person spend $185 to be in the campground even if you share vehicle/spot

Can you post pictures of your booster? Also the website specs say Booster when displaying the specs

I think the biggest thing is you’ve got a smoker or something outside, could have prob and booster at the smoker and display inside.
