Soma long cage conversion. I removed the anodizing and polished the plates. Tacx 10t sealed pulleys

Edit: I'm not sure why the image is rotated. Sorry.

This blows my mind. People "gluing" on tubulars with double sided stationary tape. I should start a thr...never mind, it would just get depressing.

my buddy picked up this Cignal tandem for himself and bride of almost 40 years. i happily fixed it up for him but also warned him of the pitfalls of tandeming with someone you have to live with

'Why' more than a few of 'us' frequent this and other, forums cuz there is a LOT of misinformation out there along with just bad info(like the tape 'holding' this tubular on)...

I've even talked to some guy who said gluing a tubular isn't really necessary cuz the tire holds onto the rim 'really well' when inflated..'like a clincher'. Or that 32h is stronger than 36h =cuz there are one fewer spaces with parallel spokes....etc..

I rode a tandem with my brother in a charity event, lets just say now I get the reason why they call a tandem bike "a divorce", really no fun for either of us. I am guessing if the fit of the bike where spot on that would help, but you really have to be "in sync" otherwise its like wrestling a bear at time. It was an interesting experience, but not one I want to repeat anytime soon.

Living where I do, Indonesia, I get that people need to be extra resourceful to keep things rolling, but there is a limit. If you are taking part in competitions on carbon rim brake wheels on grades exceeding 15% this (paper tape) is SO far beyond acceptable that it needs to be mentioned. Another issue, why are technical inspections not catching this. This wheel was bought to me as the RD has contacted the spokes. I also found corroded, inverted standard alloy nipples serving as intetnal nipples...

Tandem kayaks are also called divorce boats.

Something for this weekend's NAHBS show....

MaraudingWalrus · #**239** 03-19-2019, 11:00 AM

playing with the "final" details on the first go at a low cost wheel lacing jig that a friend helped me make.

When I say he helped me make, I mean, he asked what I would want in a lacing jig (having never used one myself, I had no idea) and he looked at other designs out there, and made one. So, I guess that means I maybe helped him make it?

Lots of 3D printed parts, or stuff from the hardware store.

I think we've got like $55-60 in parts in it?

what was supposed to be my winter build is on hold status. Got deal on PL from Henrypretz. I had the clearcoat chips repaired, Shimano 7000 group ready to go....
