Any question answered...

^This is the correct answer. I had to space out my front brake this past weekend to add in a light mount - a couple of thicker washers from the bucket o' bits and and a long brake bolt.

I've happily used Gilles Berthoud 26" x 60mm over a pair of 650b x 47mm tyres. 2" isn't that far off from 47mm so they might work for you as well? The only drawback really is that the rear one is a bit short as can be seen here.

when going from an old rockshox recon 351 fork to a rigid fork. Are there any rules for axle to crown measurement?

Suspension corrected forks. I'll say they usually are 450mm+

Damn, this one is 410mm. Let's see if I can cancel the order.

Yep: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/14998839/

Measure the a-c of the suspension fork, preferably while sagged.
If you can't measure it while sagged, measure it fully extended and then subtract 25-30% of the total travel.
Bear in mind that the frame will be designed to work within the range of travel, so if you get a rigid fork with slightly less a-c (but not less than the suspension fork fully compressed), it should still steer within the boundaries of acceptability.

Still needed?

raw measurement is 480mm for the susp fork, so 410mm for the rigid fork seems to big a difference. Seems to be a too big of a pain to source components for a frame I don't even like that much.

How do tumble driers know when the water container is full?

A float switch.

which would presumably need to be inside or dangling into the big long water collection box?

i see no such thing

Could be a capacitance sensor on the outside?

I don't think you'll have much luck.
I doubt a nutted axle would fit the DT hub. Most of the other 14mm nutted axles I see are on bmx, jump bikes and e bike hubs.

Also, is that a 48h hub?
What is this bike you have?

Could be a magnet that floats in a channel , triggering a switch on the outside of the box.

Yeah, I've given up on the idea.
Yep it's 48h - The stock back wheel on a yuba mundo.

Not necessarily. Might be a tube with a floaty thing on it. Alternatively it could be a capacitive switch with metal contacts on the wall of the water chamber - the capacity will change if they're covered by water rather than air.

If none of the above then magnets.

If none of the above then magic.

fixed

I reckon it's a doohickey but can't be sure

Why is the search box so useless on here? I type in one unique word that has come up multiple times and there are no results. I type the same word in Google along with "LFGSS" and I get every hit.

I agree, it's not good. But make sure you select 'Title matched search terms' and select 'Comments'

Yeah did that, still nothing.

Why is the search box so useless on here?

Because good search done cheaply is like the hardest thing ever. And search isn't this forum's business.

It is. Velocio has explicitly said that every page you load is a search result. Also, the search on here is pretty good under the hood, although it still needs a better user interface. If you can be arsed, you can hack it to match multiple parameters. I can't remember whether we were promised a decent interface, but I've long since given up hope of getting one even if we were.

Which word?
