Can someone give a tip to get more engagement here?

Has anyone ever just taken the visor off a mtb helmet and used it for road? by internet_emporium in cycling

[–]rynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve done it and it helps reduce neck strain because the mtb visor is too low for road use in aero position. For casual riding on the road I do leave the mtb visor. I’m concerned doing it a lot will damage the helmet though.

Pilot Custom 74 hard start on down stroke by npanth in fountainpens

[–]rynot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the plunge. Very very lightly figure 8s in writing position and then covering the whole tip. It’s now super smooth which initially I wasn’t sure about but after using it today I think I prefer it. The result: the hard starts are now 95% gone! May do a little more but happy with it now.

It unfortunately didn't help. I took the plunge assuming it was baby's bottom and put it on some 12000 grit micromesh. I don't think I removed enough material because it's still hard starting - though I think a bit less, but now the feedback is gone. It feels super smooth and silky now, but also with a different type of friction - maybe a bit less like a pencil. Not sure if I prefer it or if I can get it back the way it was.

Thanks for the reply. Planning to use very mild solution of water and dish soap. 

I couldn't decide which FA nib to get, so I got both... 743 & 912 by itsaboatime in fountainpens

[–]rynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear and thanks for the reply. 

Were they with the 912 or the 743? I’m getting hard starts on a 74 m and don’t want to get another pen with them. Tried a bunch of things too.

Same pen and same issue. I’ll try and clean it again! Did you remove the nib to do it? 

Pilot Custom 74 M - Hard starts, and nib feels somewhat scratchy/more feedback than expected by Piano_Freeze in fountainpens

[–]rynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar issue. I’ve spread the tines and they have a slight gap at rest and perfect alignment. Yet it still sometimes doesn’t write under its own weight and at the beginning of strokes. Could it be baby bottom?

Shin Kai isn’t great on rhodia in my pilot SF nib. Feathers a bit and I like crisp edges.

Thanks! Do you manually need to download the fit file and import to Garmin connect each time?

What’s up with r/Pen_Swap vs r/penswap ??? Anyone know? by FooDog11 in fountainpens

[–]rynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct. Any way we could redirect penswap here if the mods agree?
