Good grief. I love R2R but it’s a novelty item, not a real tool these days!

As above, some sort of digital recorder. Zoom.also make good ones for reasonable money.

Whatever Mazda you can find that fits your needs.

Of course it was aliens, they are here, in hiding.

The main one looks a bit orange though….

…post results.

(Is this forum safe to return to yet?)

Find something that will hold it up, put them both in the sink, fill with boiling water, post results.

Or,

Photograph it out of scale obscuring things for giggles.

This is beautiful!

Ikea Eneby

Great value! The small one can run on a built in battery,  and sounds good. The larger one is mains only and sounds very good. If you’re ok with the aesthetic, go listen.

Jolly good

Bender total legend.

Clearly doesn’t understand dynamics in any way, but still…what a hero

Wrote this with an abacus.

Maybe he should make some more now, I mean, it’s gotta be a bit profitable…. Nostalgia etc etc

I’d send a few quid…

Some of us have to, yes.

I bloody love our Yaris; comfy, reliable, great visibility and if you stay in gear and change quickly they’re almost fast to 60.

Get under it with some underbody wax. Most parts, like bearings, can be replaced easily with scrap items from a donor car. Looks like this one has got a lot of salt on it. Give it a good wash underneath, inspect, undercoat and repair and you’ll be grand.

OEM Denso plugs (very cheap), air/oil filter and new semi syn (consult the manual carefully, the oil spec/temp chart is backwards as hell) and the motor will sing.

Lavender and tea tree oil, several drops in the shoes before riding.

You can also add the oils and then seal in a freezer bag. If you wash and dry them as well, that will help, but honestly, this oil combo works wonders.

A heavy duty caliper will likely give more modulation, a bigger rotor will give you more heat dissipation … All else being equal.

>what to do?

Lock your bike.

Penetrating oil. You could also freeze a socket bit whack it in the screw while simultaneously heating the frame a bit (lynx and a lighter?) Then turn the screw, hard. Best bet of success would be to use a very good fitting bit and don’t let it slip!

Man I thought I’d seen some shonky body kits in my time but this….

Before you spend more money on an amplifier, visually inspect the speaker drivers. Many old ones will have rotten surround foam.

With a high revving petrol engine and driving on large roads with big intersections I find myself engine braking sometimes, mostly as a way of being in the right gear to accelerate again :)

Surely not all vehicles load the discs equally? A lightweight one will keep them good for longer, also driving style, like engine braking…

Just run some tests while monitoring thermals.

I have the same issue on my car, try wiping clean then inserting to above the max point on the gauge and repeat until it’s clean when withdrawn. Then any reading would be only the oil in the pan. You can also read it cold, the oil will smear less, but check in the manual if that’s the true measure for your car -some should be done when hot.

Use a fresh paper towel to clean it dry.

Most all bike fasteners will be tightened into the elastic clamping zone, to some degree. This should be detectable as a sharp uptick in the perceived resistance as the joint moves beyond frictional and alignment/seating torque. An experienced mechanic will likely be able to judge the feeling of this transition and perhaps will then apply the correct degree of rotation beyond that point, corresponding to an appropriate degree clamping load on the joint…or not.

Worth a look to understand the feel of doing up a bolt.

Point of interest, approx 70-90% of bolt rotation resistance is frictional, so don’t grease threads and apply a torque measurement for non greased joints, dropping friction by, say 50% could cause you to hugely overtension the bolt.

Maybe you should go to a Specialized dealer

Only hearts :)

Well, this thread is oddly satisfying.

What’s modern anyway?

Is there 1/1/8 X 26 version?

>Idiot

You called?

I didn’t reply to this again as you already have a few options for buying them. Don’t try to mould it, it’s surely a waste of time when you can still buy them.
