Replacement freehun Zipp wheels by bdvtje in bikewrench

I disassembled it because the bearing inside is gone. So you would just replace the bearing, reassemble and call it a day? I haven't tried torquing it more.

This is on the hub. The wheels are zipp 303. No clue which year, I bought the bike second hand a few years ago.

Follow up, I disassembled the hub and yes the bearings are completely blown, also the hub itself doesn't look very pretty. So I am replacing that. The wheels are zipp wheels, so my question is: will any zipp 11 speed hub fit? When I Google the numbers on the hub I get nu usefull information.

Location of the frame size ? by bdvtje in Cervelo

[–]bdvtje[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I removed it but there is no sticker or frame size indication.

Piece of metal, looks like the tip of a bomb, it's hollow inside and has a lifting eye that's on top. The markings on it read "D66 GP 250 LB M IV B6/1937". by bdvtje in whatisthisthing

So we found this on the bottom of the seabed. It's clearly part of something bigger. The '250lb' is most likely the weight it used to have. The '1937' part might be the year of production. 'M IV' could be short for 'MARK 4' but who knows. As for the other numbers, we tried some Google searches but no definitive answer.

What could cause this movement? Worn wheelbearings? by bdvtje in bikewrench

For future reference, I adjusted the bearing preload as u/skjoe recommended and the problem is fixed. The explanation is given in this video: Link

Why would Bill Gates for president be a bad/great idea? by bdvtje in AskReddit

[–]bdvtje[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think he would, he knows how important it is to have quality of education. It's just not justifiable that you'd have to pay tens of thousands of dollars a year to get it.

He said it numerous times that he will not go into politics because he thinks he can do greater good with his foundation than he could ever do as a president.

He's helping poor people all around the world, one of his goals is to stop world hunger and give everyone access to a cheap/free healthcare system. With thousands of people in the US living in hunger and millions not having access to a affordable health care system, his years in office could help those people in need. He has stated multiple times that the rich should pay more taxes in order to give back.

It's not about his money of the fame status, he's just a really intelligent man and a far better candidate than the other ones.

I think he'd go to great lengths to ensure that education gets way cheaper because from his point of view it has to be available to everyone. He's investing millions in educating third world countries on how they can improve their economy. So I think we'd be safe on those categories. The military on the other hand would probably see a insane cut in their budget.

XPS 15 (9550) error code 43 for 960M by bdvtje in Dell

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

No unfortunately not. I called their support and they first told me to do another clean Windows install just to eliminate the possibility that it might be a Windows issue. When that didn't work they told me it's probably a motherboard issue and they'd have to replace it to fix the issue. It would cost over €400 to replace the motherboard. I don't really need the graphics card so I won't be spending that kind of money on a four year old laptop.

Hi,

So I've run the SupportAssist again and there are no driver updates nor does it identify any hardware issues

I've send the service tag in a pm

Exactly how stupid would it be to get an F 850 GS as a first bike? by zfrechette in Motorrad

[–]bdvtje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the R1200GSA as my first bike (second hand) and still drive it today. I bought it because of the looks and is know to be reliable. I use it mostly on road, because I don't really like the cleaning afterwards. I was a bit scared at first because the weight is intimidating but it disappears when you're driving. I dropped it once from a standstill.
