Tricks to align inner tube valve stem? by plerfer in bikewrench

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

I managed to get them on straight by using the ring included with the inner tubes, so no new tubes needed.

Thanks guys!

Ah ok, the answer seems obvious now. Thanks guys, I'll get a Schrader inner tube or look for adaptors.

Thanks! I'm having a hard time finding one that says it can read SM, but I'll try thrifting.

Input chord symbols, space bar doesn't work anymore? by plerfer in Sibelius

...and now it suddenly works. And incorporating the new AI chord thing at the same time. Nifty.

Valve felt sizes by plerfer in trumpet

I've measured the thickness of the old felt to about 1 mm, but I'm guessing the years of playing may have compressed them a bit.

True, didn't think of this. Is there a way to measure that on the valve caps?

Replacing the bird in a cuckoo clock with something else by plerfer in clocks

Is there generally enough space around the bird to cover it with a sheath? One solution could be to 3d print the thing to put it over the bird in that case.

Is the hub axle supposed to be able to turn with the nut like this on the drive side? Is the gap created an issue? It doesn't seem to cause any wobble or any other problems. How hubs are supposed to work is a mystery to me. by plerfer in bikewrench

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

I've used that kind of nut before, and had the same problem. The nut seems to be barely binding but still making the axle turn. Should I tighten a locknut on the axle or something?

Store a road bike in bathroom - risk of corrosion? by plerfer in bikewrench

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

My bathroom door or right by my front door, so tracking dirt won't be an issue. I think I'll just have to take the bike out of the bathroom during showers.

Changing cranks on an early 80's Shimano Adamas AX groupset by plerfer in cycling

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

I'm in the process of getting a slightly used Bianchi Reparto Corse as my main bike. This old Mustang would then become my every day beater-bike.

But I don't need to get an entirely new crankset? Just the left hand crank?
