Trailer I built is Emma's, but her feedback would be that downhill is much more of an issue than uphill. I've been working on how I'd redesign the axle holders to incorporate a brake caliper, luckily the hubs are thruaxle with rotor mounts.

Looking at this steerer mount, I don't see how you'd tension the headset:

Got a bottlecage case fitted onto a new MTB build but I'd rather not have it quite so exposed in case the bike gets decked left and the plastic case snaps.

Necro-bump to say I learned something new yesterday:

On Cannondale Hollowgram the arm aligns to one of the dips between the lobes on the spindle splines, both DS and NDS, so both sides are in-phase (the bumps align).

Sram, RF and Easton align the DS arm to a bump, so 22.5 degrees off from Hollowgram. Sram 30mm chainsets have the spindle "permanently" attached to the NDS arm, and although I can't find a photo of the RaceFace or Easton NDS separated from the spindle, RF sells spindles. RF spindles have both sides in-phase, so NDS must also be bump-aligned.

Most Stages power meters are sold as modified left arms, so either you send your left crank arm to Stages and they bond their strain gauge to the inner face and calibrate it, or they sell you a boxfresh arm with the gauge already attached, to match your crankset. For SRAM/FSA/RF/Easton, Stages sells its own carbon arm rather than adding their gauge to an OEM arm: https://stagescycling.com/en_gb/gen-3-stages-power-l-stages-carbon-power-meter-for-30mm-sram-race-face-next-sl-fsa-386evo

The Stages 30mm arm is dip-aligned, like Hollowgram, so the Stages 30mm spindles have the two ends out of phase with each other. https://stagescycling.com/en_gb/stages-30mm-spindles

If you used a Stages spindle with two Hollowgram arms, or two RF/Easton arms, you'd be cantering. If you used Stages or Hollowgram on one side and SRAM/RF/etc on the other side, the arms would be at 180 degrees like normal.

I want to get involved in less obscure stuff than the apps I develop that started 11 years ago in a team of 4, since I've been a team of 1 for a few years now and it doesn't seem to be getting better yet. I don't use branches in git because there's nobody else to merge with.

Having the best video/audio quality in any meeting gives you an edge on attention and being memorable. If "the guy with the fancy mic" gives good questions and answers in multiple sessions, people recognise it's the same person, so your brand becomes "person who asks good questions and has good answers and happens to have a nice and distinctive setup".

Is it UDP if you don't remember asking for a table?

Anti-guano gazebo in the space that will be my 20ft x 12ft workshop (alas not a perfect rectangle). Should have a door on it this year.

Highlights on C4 should be getting to the start soon. Was half-watching earlier with one earphone, think this shitshow merits my actual attention.

Watched the first two F2 races of the weekend then tuned in to F2 today just in time for halfway through the first red flag, so wasn't expecting much quality from the F1.

His book is good, as is his Honda S600/1000.

Can you mix and match different batteries to best suit available space?

No, you'll get really weird behaviour if some of the cells drop voltage faster than others.

Are Tesla motors the way to go?

Tesla components are an obvious choice, but they're not cheap cars and demand is high.

Leaf's powertrain is limited to protect its battery, since it doesn't have liquid cooling, the cells are quite easy to repackage, easier to fit in a car than the Model 3's four subpacks for example. Ampera batteries were massively overbuilt for what the car needed, capable of really high output, but supply is getting rarer and a bit old.

I think your next step needs to be working out the sizes and shape of the spaces left over when you remove the engine, exhaust, propshaft and fuel tank. Also, capture some CAN logs so you can work out what messages you need to keep the Subaru's dash and body-computer happy.

Do you need the Forester to be 4WD? The 4WD builds I've seen are either using both front and rear Tesla drive units, or they're retaining the original transferbox/centrediff. If you can make do with front or rear drive only, you'll free up a whole load of space for battery.

This just happened, luckily after a team meeting, and now the back of this IKEA Snille chair is much springier than it should be. Date code moulded into the plastic says October 2008, so not a bad innings.

I'm glad the 2 lap bollocks happened, solely to reward Russell's P2 in quali. 100% worth it.

Also, Williams double points finish two races in a row. Chances of at least one car in the points at Zandvoort? Apparently it's Monaco with wind and banked corners.

the roots of Pritti Patels racism may lie in her parents connections with Idi Amin expelling Asian people from Uganda.

Her parents were economic migrants who came here years before those who had no choice.

You won't land anything on a rat, then when you're tired and have given up, that's when it'll creep up and get you.

Ended up fitting the BB93 temporarily and ordering 4x ZTTO BBs from their AliExpress store, for about £7 each, £33 inc delivery. The ZTTO BSA30 BB I've been using on my fatbike has been fine. £25 and a long wait isn't particularly competitive with uk-online pricing.

GF noticed some movement through the pedals on her fatbike during its last ride. Turned out it wasn't a loosening driveside RaceFace crank (had that before years ago on similar RF cranks), rather the Hollowtech 2 BB had developed play in at least one of its bearings.

I used to be able to get Shimano BB51 or similar for £10-15, especially on eBay with people not realising the new cranks they'd bought came with a BB until weeks after purchase. Now I'm only seeing £40+ or out of stock.

Short of waiting a month for some off-brand anodised AliExpress BBs, is there anywhere selling HT2 BBs at a reasonable price? Currently contemplating a used BB93 that has one smooth side and one slightly gritty side.

I watched the film The Darwin Awards last week, starring David Arquette. A jet strapped into a car was one of the plot points.

Not expecting much excitement from the Spanish GP, but Formula E is racing the full circuit at Monaco today, albeit with the right-hander of Nouvelle Chicane (after the tunnel) much tighter to create runoff space.

FE Practice 2: 1:31.1 (335bhp, 903kg, not much downforce, all weather tyres)
Comparable records:
F1: Max, 2018 RB14 Renault (~1000bhp, 735kg): 1.14
F2 (610bhp, 755kg): 1:21.6
Formula Renault 3.5 (530bhp, 625kg): 1:24.5
Porsche Supercup (GT3; 480bhp, 1200kg): 1:35.5

The F2 and FR3.5 records were both set by Oliver Rowland, current Nissan EDams Formula E driver.

https://mazesp.in/ has a table counting the spins in each session.

By aero jersey, do you mean pro jersey?

Just check my distance per square, lol. Do you people with low averages just never ride the same road twice

When I'm planning a squares ride I will look for roads that run diagonally and/or run very close to the corners of 4 squares, so 100m down a sideroad gets me two extra squares.

They've just aligned the one on this side with the crank arm. Shiny shin-biters.

Christmas is big in Poland, being historically rather catholic, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were shut.

These washers are common with Avid/Sram calipers but I don't think Shimano calipers include them in the box.

Is your brake pad running on the braking surface correctly, or does the pad overhang the highest points of your wavey rotor? If the pads develop a lip you'll get crap braking as the lips will contact before the worn face of each pad hits the rotor. The force against the pistons is now off-centre too, so you might get weird wear and leaks inside the caliper too.
