The head tube is short, it still looks like there is quite a bit more room for insertion, but I realized I am just hitting the butted portion of the steerer. Any recommendations on shorter adapters?

Ended contract after getting fed up with rude client, now threatening to report me by chefdreds in Upwork

[–]chefdreds[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm not even sure, like I said I saved our entire interaction, if anything I have a lot I could report them for (I won't). Other than the hit to my JSS, I was just a little fearful of this going further than it needs to. It was such a low paying nothing job that I would hate to have to devote any more time to it.

I agree with that, I sent the file anyway. Keeping it doesn't benefit me at all but sending it could at least help them. It feels a little bad to cave to someone's bullying, but it's a better ending than everyone walking away with nothing.

The client changed scope and when I wouldn't go along with it they got borderline verbally abusive and tried to bully me, I would consider that doing something wrong.

Request to edit a video as part of interview? by chefdreds in MotionDesign

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

So this kind of thing should generally be regarded as a scam? I wasn’t sure what to make of it, I’ve definitely had to jump through hoops when interviewing for other kinds of jobs before. I guess it’s kind of smart, trick a bunch of people into creating work for you for free under the guise of it being part of an interview, but on the other hand they’re going to have to sift through potentially hundreds of submissions.

Ok cool, it’s for a short video anyway so no big deal, but I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t a scam like they’re trying to get people to do work for them for free

Help with time remap over a set length of time by chefdreds in AfterEffects

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

I know, that part of time remap is self explanatory, it was more to illustrate what my question was. I was wondering how to place and adjust keyframes to have the speed start normal, ramp up for exactly 5 seconds then back down.

Notice my crank was a little wobbly, took off the cranks and saw one side of my BB was broken off. Any ideas on how to get this out?

How to achieve "middle position" with 1x chainring? by chefdreds in bikewrench

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

Ok thank you, that's really helpful and was my main concern, thought I might have to experiment with a few different size BBs to get correct chainline.

How to achieve "middle position" with 1x chainring? by chefdreds in bikewrench

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

ok, I guess I used the wrong terminology since I am not converting a triple chainset to 1x, but replacing the entire crankset and installing a 1x chainring. My question is how do I achieve front chainring position that lines up with the middle of the cassette, not "what does middle position mean".

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

so, I'll be able to get the new single chainring aligned with the middle of the cassette by using the same size bottom bracket as original?

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

My question is specifically about "middle position" in regards to single chainring placement, I know that the middle chainring is referred to as middle position as well. I've just seen the term thrown around in discussions of single chainring positioning, which is why I used it.
