After a day or two on the bike, the ass pain should greatly subside (assuming your seat is a decent fit). Swimming in the local public pool is normally quite affordable and obviously beats the heat. Added benefit of being low impact on old and lazy joints. Build up some endurance, flexibility...

The smartest person I know had a brain fart while using a cupped wire wheel on a 9" grinder. It instantly stopped and he let out a bad noise. Turns out he got lucky. It caught his sweatshirt and wound it in. Grinder stalled with wire cup aimed at his chest and just a few scratches. Lucky guy.

That was dumb. I've ridden less than 5km so far this year. Deciding to try 25km of Trails today kicked my ass.

A friend bought an Ioniq9 and likes it. It's big. 500 km range.

When I glanced at the picture, I thought it was your garage post-fire.

My strong suspicion is his burrs are HSS and not carbide. He'll find out quickly when he touches the extractor.

A o-ring shouldn't be able to get free without removing the plug it is sealing. It's not tiny, fluid should be pissing with a hole that big (check fluid levels to make sure there is fluid to piss). Imo, it's more likely to have dropped off something like a rigid wallet where it was a friction...

Once you are a convicted sex offender, I don't care if you are inconvenienced by lack of time to get you life in order. If you think conviction is probable, get ready before the verdict is read. What an epic waste of resources and risk to the public to pander to a sex offender.

I've seen them inside the windows of cars. I've never seen one on a bike..

I understand the justification for bail before conviction. What is the reasoning for bail after conviction and before sentencing? Convicted sex offender bolted before being sentenced to seven years. In no world would the pre-sentencing detention have exceeded the sentence imposed by the judge...

I wasn't sure if they were still doing temp stickers or if they were just issuing paper temp plates.

How do you get plates without a safety? Registration without a safety is easy.

If he gets aluminum glowing red, he has big problems with his fork leg.

The pro shops I know weld on a nut or use a carbide cutter in a mill. Now, if a size came up often, making a case hardened extractor from tool steel might be the ticket. Not worth it for a one off though as it would take longer to make the tool than complete the job using other methods.

Assuming he's careful, there shouldn't be much thread damage. Ideally he'd chase with a steel nut after cutting but that's obviously not possible. Without the extractor in there, I'd put drilling the head off way in front of the saw. With the broken extractor in there, it may take a but of work...

That exists? Afaik, they are all a dice roll.

Hakko 936 has been out of production for almost 15 years. It's possible to find a new one but exceedingly unlikely. Using the tip of a soldering iron to heat a fastener is not likely to help much. They are mostly quite low power and mostly rely on thermal mass to get the job done. When th part...

He was going to cut the shank in the compression slot. I don't know if that will leave any of the larger shank or if he will just be left with a threaded rod. I suspect he will just have threads as you wouldn't want the shank bottoming on the fork leg (although you could counterbore the fork...

Except he's trying to come out the bottom. A right hand drill bit from the bottom would encourage the bolt to retreat out the hole it started from. I'm not sure which way would be better. The last few threads on the bottom may not be clear as they may not have been chased in a long time.

Interesting. He's mainly harping on lack of consistency across the country and fed's absolving themselves of all responsibility. To me, the answer seems pretty easy that 500 watt pedelecs (no throttle, pedal-assist only) of reasonable weight (maybe <100 lbs?) should be allowed. All of the DUI...
