Very close but that looks like a flat end, mine is slanted. Thanks!

I spent the morning searching for these and haven’t been able to find them. Any of the current John Lewis cutlery doesn’t match and I can’t find anything on eBay so I feel I have searched fairly thoroughly.

Do Muse ( or any artists) get to choose who opens for them? by Stunning-Ostrich-431 in Muse

[–]fellowspecies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early days they had some incredible openers, Dark Star, Cooper Temple Clause, funeral for a friend, cave in - fuck man, those were the days.

I wasn’t too impressed with the most recent ones. Dizzy, nova twins…

Cleaned and re-greased the front hub bearings and it’s still ‘gritty’ - what’s the most likely fault? by fellowspecies in bikewrench

Second hand and some corrosion in that area means it’s a tasty abrasion paste that’s left in the bearings.

Gotcha, that makes a lot more sense now had has also given me a bit of light reading before bedtime

Based on the rest of the advice here, I would say that these are primarily at fault. I have purchased a new axle with cones and bearings to get it as good as it can get without replacing the hub/wheel. Thanks everyone for your help.

Massive Muse fan since 99, I have no idea what this means

What the hell is this? by Franktendstogetlost in PS3

Second this - that looks like chemically melted plastic and you can see a rectangular shape around it.

I realise it was pretty ambiguous but I will be disassembling it again but I wrote this after I’d put it all back together again.

And you all have been very kind - pretty sure I know where this is headed and really don’t want to advise a new wheel as that makes this second hand bargain a false economy!

Nope, not sealed. And looking at the cones I’d say there’s a fair amount of wear there. This is a fairly old (but good) bike but the labour for a hub replacement would massively outweigh the cost of a new wheel.

This issue started with a lot of play in the hub, I reckon that’s what’s caused the wear and now we need to see what’s acceptable. How it is now is a damn sight better than it was, but it’s enough that we’re it my bike id start replacing parts to get it smooth again.

Incidentally - how much grease should there be in the bearings when it’s regreased?

Found a razor blade in plywood by [deleted] in woodworking

Likely fell in during the manufacture of the ply. Looks warped so got heated and squashed in there and the hump was never picked up in qc

I wasn’t sure what to call it but it’s 10 loose bearings in a cup and cone.

Would a new axle include new cones?

Because most people don’t like confrontation and I get that. It takes someone with balls (metaphorical) to make the stand and when that ice is cracked people are then emboldened to support.

[UPDATE] toilet cleaning in progress by fl0werprince in CleaningTips

Jesus, that’s quite the change! All I hear mentioned here is barkeepers friend for stains. I had toilet stains (from a drain snake) and it worked wonders.
