I got a broken Wolverine frame with a cut bottom bracket (was necessary for warranty replacement). Welded it and put all the parts of my selfmade bike on it. Needs cabling still.

How did you flatten the mudguard stays? Big hammer?
-
• #123463
I used the mudguards on a 26" bike before so the stays were too short. For the front I made a new one from 6x1mm steel tubing that needs to be trimmed. It has a nice built in curve to pass the brake caliper. Then I noticed that I ran out of material so I made some "lugs" for the back and glued them on. Will get some more tubing and make a matching 6mm stay for the rear. Should be much stiffer than the original aluminium stays so it won't rattle and bend that easy. Besides that I quite like to build my own stuff, haha.

That's my tool for nice transitions. I just squeeze the tubing in the vice.

Not sure if this counts as it's not cycling related...
Sous vide cool box.
Ingredients:
- cheap sous vide water circulator
- cheap 24l cool box
- desk hole tidy
Optional / add to taste:
- soldering iron
- Dremel
- file and various grit paper
- sealant
Recipe:
Spent a lot of time measuring and cutting a template... Which wasn't that necessary as I found a desk hole tidy.
Removed polystyrene from lid.
Cut hole mainly with the soldering iron.
Tidied.
Reinserted polystyrene and cut that.
Pushed desk hole tidy through hole.
Added a smear of strong adhesive sealant around the underside of the desk hole tidy. (I've lost my sealant gun so this was a mission).

Cool box
24 Litre Large Blue Food Drink Picnic Beach Camping Insulated Ice Pack Cool Box https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JZLRF4E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_tKSaDbKZH6WD2Sous vide
Sous Vide Precision Cooker 1000W... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FS35VST?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareIf you're tempted I would thoroughly recommend this particular cool box. It's cheap and cheaply made. This means things like the lid can be easily prised apart to get the polystyrene out and the walls are thin enough for the clip to reach around (not sure I'd recommend it for a proper cool box though).
It's now too late to try anything as I need the sealant to cure and give it a clean of the plastic debris. But overall pretty pleased with the result. The neat hole means I could probably make a plug for the hole and still use it as a cool box if I wanted to. And the sous vide fits inside which helps with space and to mitigate the wrath I've received for buying more shit we don't need and won't use.

I don’t even know what you’re doing.

Ha!
It's a water circulator and heating element which you can set to precise temperatures to cook certain types of food perfectly. It can go in a pan, but if you wanted to to a big peice of meat then you need a big pan and to keep the water topped up.
Professional kitchens have big expensive giant water baths.

Hot stuff! What are you planing to cook in it?
-
• #123475
Are there any issues with the plastic being hot (I’m thinking leeching BPA)? Or is the meat cooked safely in a vacuum-pack anyway?
Excellent suggestion! Cheers.
