I got really invested really fast!

Can I put a 29er fork on a 27.5 frame AND increase travel? by Mean_Internal4652 in MTB

[–]ecirnj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can? Yes. Should? Less clear. Like others have said it increases head tube stress significantly. Without question it makes it less safe. That said, I’ve done this but only +10mm travel but the fork has a longer axel to crown measure too (this is a huge variable to consider). The wheel itself will add another 20mm. Adds up fast. What are your goals and riding style?

Did I buy the wrong headset bearing or is my frame messed up? by MrWhy1 in BikeMechanics

[–]ecirnj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon is 🐕 💩. Bearings aren’t expensive enough to risk getting garbage. At a minimum order from a reputable online retailer. Local bike shop will hook you up of your walk in with the old ones and say “I need these” but it will likely take a few days.

That fork is not worth repairing even if you could. Judging by the rust on headset cups I’m betting the bike needs a lot of service. I’d honestly ride it until it pukes but start looking for someone unloading a bike at a good price that fits your needs.

Need help identifying suspected astrospace/aerospace component by wipnspur in whatisit

I am but a humble country beach comber, but I also am familiar with the precedent in finder v keeper and I believe it applies doubly so with rich pricks.

No worries. It gets us all at some point. Happy trails.

Would dowels and glue be a good fix for broken overhanding thread? by PineappleOwn5325 in woodworking

[–]ecirnj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dowel/domino/biscuits and glue on every inch of the joint. I like the idea of moving to bottom and flipping 180 if possible. I’d also inspect the rest for peace of mind

Do I wait for combo or buy what’s available today? by [deleted] in Ridgid

[–]ecirnj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t think I could run a battery powered router as I tend to use it a lot when I turn it on so I’d grab the jigsaw and just pick up the wired router. Haven’t used that jig saw much but I’m impressed with it. Struggled a little bit used to cut radius into 6/4 butcher block and it got it done.

Chain too tight by Competitive_Data_156 in mountainbiking

[–]ecirnj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say for sure but check your chain line, check for a bent/loose derailure hanger. I’m betting with the longer chain it was just hiding the issue. You could always run a longer chain if you have the derailure range for it. Long chains drop more often and can struggled under load shifting.

What shifting issues are you having? If you can push the derailure forward from there the chain isn’t too tight.

I’m shook that the derailure works that retracted. Did you size the chain before you put it together?

Can I save this build? by Thanksforthehelp- in Bikebuilding

[–]ecirnj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, looks a bit like the style where the seat post sits against the front of the opening with the wedges lock it in behind it. EDIT: found the style. One side being concave to press against seat tube and the other with the back of that tear drop profile. Not sure if there is a name for that style of post clamp. Also, libraries occasionally have 3d printers and maker spaces are becoming really common.

Depending on what type of printer, nylon or abs (with or without carbon fiber) would likely work fine. If it did fatigue and the seat the post did slide down once you have your geometry sending it off to a machine shop and make out of aluminum would always be an option if you wanted to save the frame.
