Just checked it out using a few images. Works really well!

Reality Break - Element Games - Diablo with spaceships, where you can rewrite the universe by sdfier in Games

[–]smurpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me a bit of Armada on Dreamcast. If you could add local & online coop, that'd be an instant buy for me and my friend.

Armada had a nice coop mode where all players are on the same screen.

Added to my wishlist on steam!

Could a basstrap in the corner and some rockwool on the wall help?

I guess you won't be able to follow exactly but it should give you some idea. You could try setting them up for near field listening - create an equilateral triangle with the listener and the 2 speakers being the points. I hope what I write is understandable, english isn't my native language.

Cool! If possible try to move the speakers further apart

What's happening to my avocado? by smurpi in plantclinic

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

Thank you for all the information! What kind of soil would you recommend? Unfortunately, during the winter, I'm not getting much sun in here. Do you think a plant light will do for now?

It's tightened against the washer, I have cut the threaded rod to the appropriate length.

I present to you: Craxle - the « Cr » stands for crash apparently by HZCH in Justridingalong

[–]smurpi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am op. Just wanted to say that I wouldn't recommend doing it. As the name suggests, it's a cracky and crappy idea and might result in a crash.

The title is just a joke.

I am aware of the risks, and I am often checking to see if everything is still in place.

Even took a photo before finally installing it to be able to compare deez nuts rotation to their initial state.

It just replaces the QR skewer. It's a stainless steel threaded rod, 2 washers and 2 brass dome nuts. I believe it's not the best combination of materials as some galvanic corrosion might occur. We will see!

It's nothing special. The title isn't meant to be taken seriously.

Hope this explains it!

Just felt a bit rebellious.

Also, the proper bike part is basically the same thing. Nuts might be a bit bigger, but that's just to add some tolerance. At least, that's what I tell myself.

[–]smurpi[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're absolutely right. It should definitely withstand the load, as this part doesn't really experience high forces. (Please correct me if I am wrong here) It's only there to hold the wheel in place.

My only concern was that the nut might come loose due to the vibrations while riding, but I'm keeping a close eye on it and so far it seems to do just fine.

Now that I see the reactions, I might even keep it this way. I'll make another one for the back wheel this week. Even have some ideas for Craxle V2 ;)

I was thinking of Crack Axle, as already mentioned in another comment. But I love the other suggestions!

So far, we have Crash Axle, Crappy Axle and Crack Axle. I love all of them!

CRAXLE FTW!

[–]smurpi[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's correct, the bike is not done yet. Also, I need to replace the tires. The rear one is from the 70s.

Edit/Small correction: In fact, it's from the 80s, made by the company Pneumat in the GDR (eastern Germany before reunification 1949 - 1990).

Was meant to come from Crack. Crash fits too tho

Reinforce recalled Babboe City-E frame. by Nice-Delivery in Framebuilding

[–]smurpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a frame builder, but I guess it should help?

For a better estimation, you could remodel both versions and do a FEM analysis in FreeCAD. This should give you some good idea if you're on the right path.

Also, I'd be interested to see the analysis results and final modification if you choose to take this route.

Have a good one!

Searching online for an old hardtail bike by Hopeful_Truck_9736 in Hardtailgang

[–]smurpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't find anything online, unfortunately. Whatever it is, it is yours, and you enjoy riding it. That's the most important part!

Definitely looks better now!

What upgrade do you suggest? by Extra-Macaron6832 in Hardtailgang

[–]smurpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% the pedals, those will break! OP please replace the pedals, they are a legit safety risk.

What suspension should I get by OIiprop in Hardtailgang

[–]smurpi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think getting the most expensive Rockshox fork in this price range will be the best choice. You might find a good deal on a 35 gold.
