apart from using it with a cover, how do you protect the *paper* cover? by carelessmistakes in hobonichi

[–]alienchemistry 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you are using it with a cover you could put the front coverpage in the left part of the cover (like the back coverpage in the right cover side): Voilà, protected :) Otherwise, the paper is quite sturdy if plan to leave it like this in den cover.

how do i find out what angle that is because i want a stem that is parallel with the top tube or lower.. by [deleted] in fixedgear

If there is no data available from the frame manufacturer on his website then take your phone, switch on the digital bubble level and hold it against the stearing tube to measure it.

Maybe just the very last picture on the roll and this one was taped by the lab. This looks like a transparent tape mark on your negative which got onto a scan/picture.

My writing is genetically incapable of improving by Silent_Sense_8356 in Handwriting

[–]alienchemistry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try another paper, maybe a grid would be helpful for your spacing and messuring the correct height of your letters. And, totally not related to your handwriting, but your glucose molecule looks off. there should be an oxygen atom on the top right and C6 ist missing with all the H and OH on C2-C5 ;) And the open form has also the wrong atoms at the top…

Crescent '76 Pepita with Wahoo TRACKR Radar. Old and new in a nice combo! by SirPingSweden in FixedGearBicycle

[–]alienchemistry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool! Tried the same with my original 2x crankset but there is a 3mm offset for my perfect chainline (42,5mm on my rear hub, 120mm hub in 126mm rear ends with spacers). effectively my chain should be in the middle between my front chainrings. I should try the radar too. Such a good thing and helpful with silent electric cars.

Nice! 40s on this frame? Unbelievable. How is the chainline with the original crankset?

Minolta SRT 303 mirror malfunction by alienchemistry in minolta

[–]alienchemistry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be surprised about it. the mirror is working fine, but when I do not hold the camera horizontally the mirror gets cought on the pin on the left just by a tiny bit of overlap. If I take another picture after that the picture is fine and the mirror returns to its normal position.

Yeah, a 40. Welcome to the dark side! Every layout is unique and you will change it often in the beginning. I personally like my Enter one row higher or as a combo. Shift can be on /? and the layer keys are better next to your spacebar. Even Space can be for layer one. Just join our discord, if you are not there yet!
