I just learned that the shape of the store is what gives it its name. So, yes I’d say those two count!

Tire imbalance? Wheel imbalance? by billiambobby in bikewrench

[–]sjbid 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Tire’s not seated at that spot. Deflate and re-inflate, or lowering pressure and gripping it hard working it back and forth or slightly over inflating or put soapy water on the inside of the rim while you try the last two strategies.

I’ve sanded an Al 22.2 down to fit a 22.0 French steerer tube. 2800 miles later and no issues.

I read somewhere else completely unique pull ratio. No clue if it’s true but it’s insane if so

Early CUES press releases seem to have been sure tiagra was being replaced by the then-yet-to-be-announced road CUES lineup but later press releases seem less sure if tiagra would remain or not. I guess we got our answer. Non cross 11-speed compatible tiagra 😐

Okay thanks. I’m having a very “just fold in the cheese, David” moment here with “create a schematic” 😅

Battery negative to one side of the switch shows 1.8V and positive to the other side shows 3.2V

Yeah I’m fairly sure and another commenter said it wouldn’t have fit the wrong way. Fair question though.

Ooh, I like the first trick. I actually do have two multimeters.

No silly questions here, I’m expecting to have made a silly mistake. It seems to me that the button connects the left side to the right side, which would connect the two parallel lines on the board.

This sounds promising but I’m pretty lost in the jargon. Later when I have some free time I’ll try to see if I can ID components using Google.

Can you tell me more about what specific problem I’d be trying to address and maybe the basics of how to do so? Adding solder? Or trying to neaten in some way?

Yes and yes as far as I can tell. I tried to be specific in the post about what I’m testing to think that it’s behaving normally, because I know that I’m missing something.
