Any question answered...

I assume you get it delivered to a MITM who can plausibly deny all connection to the thing

Most likely a random address and someone will be waiting to intercept the delivery.

Usually with cloned credit cards and purchases for phones.

Does anyone know how to change the email address a Google account is associated with?

I accidentally linked my Google account

Absolutely fucking ridiculous. You have to delete your Gmail account so you can unsync it. They're a bunch of cunts.

At least my Gmail account wasn't that important.

Anyone know of a hub shell that has a 25.4, or (preferably) 31.8 diameter? 9mm solid axle.

This picture of the part on a Carla trailer explains what I mean...

Could check at work tomorrow.

Is there a reason why a hub was used instead of tube or rod?

Might provide a bit of articulation?

It provides articulation whereas a rod in a tube will bind, wear then cause slop. Unless you machine it and install bushings or bearings by which time you’ve spent whole lot more than a hub.

You could probably get away with rolling your own if you were going to sell hundreds of thousands of these things, but that’s not going to happen, so picking a ready assembled easily available component makes sense.

Happy now? Good.

I have a stepped(?) hole where the M6 threaded section is threaded.

The non-threaded shoulder(?)/widest part of the hole is 6.7mm.

Is that enough meat to rethread to M7, or should I drill out to M8?

Cheers.

(The step was obviously part of a manufacturering process, but now I can't see any reason not to thread the whole section and if anything it would make it stronger)

if anything it would make it stronger

There's not point making it stronger than the piece of wood it's set into. If the M6 threads are sound and made from half decent steel, you'll be able to break the wood before stripping the thread with 6mm of engagement.

is it safe to use this type of stems on carbon steerer fork? I remember it was wrong but i can't find anything against it on line

So that's the long way of saying I'll be fine to tap a new m7 thread.

Happy now? Good.

Chill out man, I was just making a pun about the
ar-ti-cu-lation, you know?

Nevermind.

So that's the long way of saying I'll be fine to tap a new m7 thread

I don't think I'd ever use an M7 thread if I had the choice because it's not in the preferred size table, so it's always an unnecessary PITA to find replacements if you lose a bolt. Your 6.7mm bore is too big for one anyway. It's almost spot on for M8 ISO coarse (1.25mm pitch), so there's that.

Is there a recommended 3d printing service somewhere? I've found a mounting plate for an ikea pegboard that'll let me clip a light on properly...

I've used them a few times. Can be a bit spendy depending on the size and volume of the print.

One, maybe two brackets. v small.

I might be able to do you them for cost and postage, depending on file format and what filament you need

Difference between short and long GB fenders? Any pics that shows the difference? 700cx60.

Long ones are longer, HTH

Need to replace some 6000 RU sealed bearings. Can I replace them with 6000 2RS or will fiery death ensue?

Slightly more friction but better sealing

= more heat so fiery death ever so slightly more probable but still unlikely, right?

Thanks. I just hammered the pin back in for now and used the sleeve part from a chaintool to flatten the link back down around the pin.

Lost a tiny screw found on Wolftooth Tanpan, I figured ordering a replacement in the UK would be easier than international postage and the manufacturer replied to say the box is labelled 1/32" x 1/8".

Have been searching on Ebay/various UK suppliers but seem to be using the wrong search terms. Is there a fractional or metric equivalent, or search term I should be using?
