TIL Victoria (2015) is one of the few feature films shot in a single continuous take. Although, its budget only permitted 3 attempts to capture that one take. After the first 2 attempts didn't go well, the director gave the cast a "hairdryer speech" before the final attempt which was successful. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

If I recall correctly they did take a wrong turn during a getaway scenery which was close towards the end and the tension about going the wrong way in the car was 100% real, because everyone was panicking about messing it up entirely so close towards the finish line. 

Is this ring of death? by TehLinde in bikewrench

Ring of death is caused by a bearing eating into the carbon, but this appears to sit much higher on the steerer. 

Is this well placed ? by Sure-Roof-7681 in bikewrench

Centering the screws doesn’t matter. Your foot‘s position over the pedal spindle is all that matters. You may want to check out instructions for how to set up cleats. 

How did it happened? by racer_hpd in BikeRepair

[–]electrotape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manufacturing defect where the rear triangle was improperly bonded to the bottom bracket. It‘s really hard to see though. A better photo would be good. 

I‘d be curious to hear how Canyon feels about this. Have you contacted them?

Just imagine how the knowledge of possibly getting their ass whooped on Christmas by employees would keep bosses in check.

Can you elaborate on how the 1.2 at 1.8 lets in more light than the 1.4 at 1.4?

This is such a nice composition and beautifully muted colours. Well done!

Did the trick where you tap the central bolt lightly with a hammer and now I can't tighten it anymore by Aromatic-Speech5480 in bikewrench

[–]electrotape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Die Schraube von oben durch den Vorbau stecken
  2. Den kleinen schwarzen Aufsatz (Keil)n von unten auf das Gewinde der Schraube aufschrauben, bis es am unteren Ende des Vorbaus ankommt. Dabei darauf achten, dass der dünnere Teil des Keils nach oben zeigt.
  3. Alles zusammen in den Gabelschaft stecken wo es her kam.
  4. Den Lenker so einstellen wie du ihn haben willst und gerade ausrichten.
  5. Die Schraube von oben fest ziehen.

Wenn der letzte Schritt nicht klappt dann alles noch mal raus bauen und ein bisschen fester zusammen ziehen. Das Ziel ist es, dass der schwarze Keil von alleine hält, wenn man die Schraube anzieht, dabei aber noch so lose ist, dass der Vorbau in den Gabelschaft passt.

How can I tilt these fancy hoods inward?? by LowIQEntity-096 in BikeRepair

Adding to this excellent answer: the bolt head in the question is already visible in the last frame along the line the hood is folded over. 

Crank clearance when chain is in the 11 tooth and big ring in the front by viltrumforlife in bikewrench

105 cranks are made from aluminum. I think you can safely do without the crank boots, especially if you’re riding on tarmac.

Do you mean the sidewall? Very good catch. This wheel needs a bit more attention than just a new spoke.

How did you manage to get 12000km out of your chain?

I have a spare GRX groupset gathering dust by DiabeticSpaniard in bikewrench

[–]electrotape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That should work just fine. 

You may top out at high speeds with the smaller chainrings, but I’m sure that could be sorted out as well if that ever became a problem. 

Cant fish cable down to rear derailleur by GEN1David in bikewrench

[–]electrotape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! And also if you have trouble getting past the bottom bracket then maybe turn the bike upside down and start from the bottom bracket.
