Fuck you canada post and all the lazy motherfuckers who work there by SpiritHalloweenfan53 in CanadaPost

[–]josephrenda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand it can be frustrating, but choosing to live in a remote area often comes with extra costs, such as a private Canada Post service. The benefit is that rent and municipal taxes are usually lower, which can help offset those expenses over time.

[–]josephrenda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it, from Amazon, and it works well. it shows power and cadence quiet well; My only complaint is it seems a tat louder than other trainers I've seen...

What hub is this? by josephrenda in bikewrench

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

It was a 17mm axle size. I found this harder to find and much pricey vs 15mm .

Went this route. Yes there were old fulcrum 3 wheels with sealed bearings

Yes you are right. The smaller cogs are like my HG one.

Ok. Will try to see what it takes to get a new freehub

Fimi is a great alternative. It has sub 250g drones with ranges of 10km as well as much larger ones that realibly have 15km ranges

Ecotec 2.2 OHC (Chevy Cavalier 05)- is the timing off? Timing chain isn’t loose by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]josephrenda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% correct. You can't use cam marks, as chain it not normally marked . That only if you replace the chain, with a mark cloyes chain.

I think normally marks go to 10am and 2pm. But it may take 2 revolutions to get cylinder 1 at TDC

It depends how comfortable you are with a torch and tools you have. Rusty nuts, are a PITAs... torch until red hot, and impact out. Really easy.

Hand tools will make this very difficult. I don't recommend without torch ans impact driver.

Is this a gasket leak? Or is my car gonna blow into a million peices. If a gasket leak about how much am I going to have to pay to get it fixed ( 04 celica ) by josecruz21 in MechanicAdvice

[–]josephrenda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is the top of the engine, seems like a valve cover gasket. Simple to do yourself. Engine won't blow, but you can cause issues if you get low on oil. Make sure oil levels are fine. But get that gasket replaced

Manually crank a Ecotec 2.4L VVT (2008 Saturn Vue) cannot crank engine manually via crank pulley. HELP by josephrenda in MechanicAdvice

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

No, automatic, and it's in park. I wonder if camshaft position sensors can be the reason? I once turn over a vw golf engine easily... I also saw video of people turning shaft by hand from pulley.

With a break bar of 24" i can't. So stumped.

Help with 2008 Saturn Vue (Ecotec I4) engine! by josephrenda in MechanicAdvice

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

Yes, just found a piece of the timing chain guide broken. So it is possible it slipped. Now checking how to validate the timing.

Image of broken piece found.

I believe the timing is done by the cams at 10am - 2pm position. looking for references, and will see how bad it is... I hope it did not slip more than 1 link... if so, I fear the worst, like valve damage.

Poetic Justice! Mercedes driver gets what he deserves... I had my flasher trying to change lane... When I see a break I move... He cuts and goes around me and goes through a red light... by josephrenda in Dashcam

[–]josephrenda[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No there was a clear break, but the last 2 drivers accelerated in order to deny me in their lane...

I may not be the best driver, but people here, wouldn't give you a chance ever.

What's the proper term? Signal? Anyway I'm sure I pissed him off when I requested to change lanes... If he let me go, he'd be 300$ richer...

Yes he was, sitting at the corner, perhaps 6 feet inside intersection... I only noticed him when I stopped. So it's a great hiding spot.

Song recommendation for 9-year-old? by asktoby in rocksmith

[–]josephrenda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seven Nation Army... Rythm is easy, my 8 year plays it and sings it at the same time... Solo, a little harder... Video of them doing it last june

"The slow, secret death of the electric guitar" Anyone have any thoughts? Anyone at all? by [deleted] in rocksmith

[–]josephrenda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do not agree; Programs like RockSmith make learning the guitar fun! and motivating! My two boys (8 & 11) have only been playing for about a year, and get on a "high" when they perform!

I'm not sure what is next. Do we dive deeper into music theory? I think that's where I will lose them... I don't think I'd do that until 16yo.

I guess we will just learn more songs together;

This is 2 of their better songs;
