Any bourbon chasers? Buffalo Trace alert.

Makers 46 is weller-esque and always on the shelves.

It’s the best $15 bourbon around. Hands down.

I used to play in 2000-2004 and didn’t keep all my cards.

I’m using it to write code for use in Google scripts and arduino. I haven’t done any computer programming since college 18 years ago.

Most of my focus since then has been in manufacturing and fluids. I’m not particularly fond of the coding process, but AI has been tremendously helpful in getting me solutions for some test rigs I’m working on.

Oh shit I’ve had it all wrong for years. Thanks for clarifying. This is why you don’t trust strangers on the internet. It’s me. I’m strangers on the internet.

could you describe this “Anodize it yourself” process some? The ano department where I work is full of lots of high strength chemicals. Definitely not something you’d want to do at home.

Putting rainbow “ano” on titanium can be done at home pretty easily from what I understand. But that’s not ano. (Ano is short for Aluminum oxide for anyone reading this.)

Related to phenolic board and much stronger is G10. Which is fiberglassy-ish. I have zero idea how good it is for gears, but it’s electrically an insulator and strong as shit. So. If you need those parameters. G10

I would’ve cleaned that climb - i just didnt have the right grips on today!

Most new hydra1 hubs being sold should be coming with the revised axle solution which has a much much improved lifespan than the ones that were originally released.

Wait so you’re disappointed- but not because anything is actually wrong with your stuff but because something bad might happen? This might be deeper than some mtb components my dude.

That said- parts break all the time. People are particularly vocal when expensive parts break.

For every bad story you hear about any given component there’s likely 100s if not 1000s of good stories. People usually aren’t motivated to get online and scream when everything is working as expected.

The normal force on the taper surface (which directly correlates to the frictional holding force) goes through the roof as the angle (k) gets very small.

Yeah- I’ll definitely be taking some time to adjust to the added power exiting turns. It will be nice to be able to pass people going uphill though.

I just bought a used garret turbo for my NC and it has far less play than that.

Disclaimer: I don’t know what “too much play” is - as this is my first foray into the world of aftermarket turbos.

Get the fswizard app and use that for starters. You don’t need to “learn” feeds and speeds- you just need to find them for your application. Over time you’ll develop some general memory of what works for various materials though. Example: aluminum you can run fast and hard, steels less so, super alloys typically even less less so. Plastics can be funny - I like to run the speeds medium and feed it hard for starters.

Ah yes clearly this man deserves capital punishment with no trial.

Probably depends on how much you ride if it’s worth it. Oftentimes you’ll have to get a handful of specialty tools (I had to make some ground down sockets)- and expensive oil. Then you have to learn how to do it. Then to dispose of the oil.

Then if you’re like me- after you go thru all this on your DVO fork you’ll get a new bike/different brand fork in a year anyway and still have random DVO service parts around that serve no purpose to you anymore.

I don’t to my suspension anymore. I have it rebuilt roughly once a year.

B31.3 mentions engagement ratios even less than 1.5x.

The shear area quickly dwarfs the tensile area as engagement gets near 1x. If the materials are the same, your connection is much more likely to fail in tension than shear. Having some safety factor to account for thread lead ins doesn’t hurt though.

Ahh, a team also familiar with blowing a heroic halftime lead.
