  1. My 2c - if your gearing is working fine this way then replace the ring(s). Maybe re-spray the crank so it appears new and pretty while its off that way your head is happy and so is your wallet -
  2. Effing trolls... :-) Sorry, although i know at least in my case i would not be able to tell if it was the same or a different link.
  3. Or are you reusing the pin you pushed out? SRAM and Shimano chains lately dont like reusing pins, thats why SRAM chains come with a powerlink and shimano come with a new pin that you break off once it's in. I had the same with a chain where i reused the pins, since not doing it anymore i have yet to break a chain.
  4. ?????????
  5. If I go back a few versions it appears more accurate, but I think you are right, in order to save battery its running at a lower rate, also noticed some times it picks up a segment and the next time it does not, probably due to the same reasons.
  6. @MM44, agreed, between the various IOS devices we use its consistent, however it would be nice to see a comparison to say a Byrton or Edge device. On Wednesday I rode with both my iPhone and old Garmin Etrex, the image below tells an interesting story, on the left is the Garmin with the track very close to where we rode, on the right is the iPhone's track which shows that I'm 4-5 meters from where I actually am riding. Will do some more parallel runs (I messed this one up by stopping Strava on the iPhone during the ride) and see if it stays this way, if it does I'll be posting a wanted add for a Edge 500 unit, :-)
  7. To be fair to the OP, he tried and nobody responded, at least this thread got people looking at it, although no useful help yet. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/126353-knee-joint-replacement-life-after-surgery/#entry1930028
  8. I was wondering, am I the only one recently that has noticed a distinct loss of accuracy in Strava over the last 3-4 updates? I have routes where looking at the satellite view on the website the track is no where near the actual path. (Today I'm planning on taking the knock on the weight and running the old etrex on my bar to compare the 2 - iPhone vs Garmin) Also, I can repeat a segment 4 or 5 times and it only picks up one or 2 of the "laps". This is happening between trees as well as open space so I don't think its due to the trees covering the segment, I also keep it in my back pocket with no camelpack or anything else to obstruct it.
  9. I do most of my figuring out on the Arduino or the Stamp, once I have the sensors etc working then its fairly simple to translate it down to PIC level. PICs are dirt cheap and the possibilities are almost endless, you also don't need assembler, I do my programming in PICbasic which is much simpler, understandably not as efficient but I'm not trying to wring out every MHz out of them so it works, :-) I started with a cheapo "bidorbuy" programmer, then eventually got a PICkit II from Mantech for a couple of hundred, needed the ISP ability to prevent having to remove the pic all the time.
  10. Will PM you - really need to get myself a lathe one day, I miss my fitting and turning days - would be interested in a case only, I have a few different Cree LEDs that I mess with that I would love to house in a nice casing. I mess with PICs as a side hobby so would do a custom PIC based driver for it with temp sensor, voltage gauge etc, :-) Your build is stunning, always like doing something myself rather than buying it off the shelf.
  11. Love the casing, would love to get my hands on one of those, and perhaps a lens like that
  12. Don't use copper slip grease for bearings.... (incase I'm stating the obvious) Only for threads (BB etc) and seatposts
  13. Builders Warehouse, look in the car section, they have tubes (white and light pink), think it was about R40-R50 for the tube, maybe a bit less Edit: Found a pic - made by herschell
  14. What he said, My M505's were the culprits (only found after replacing almost the entire bike - and the M505s are not easy to service) once I replaced them with M530s my creak went bye bye, :-).
  15. doubt it, more likely that its something to do with the source website no allowing the gif to be embedded
  16. Same on Windows 7 with IE10 (flamesuite: on)
  17. How big is your freezer?
  18. And here: http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/seized-seatposts-and-stems One warning, when cutting carbon be sure to wear a dust mask and clothes you don't mind chucking away, carbon dust is not something you want to inhale or get on your skin, think fiberglass just 100x worse.
  19. You can then get one of these down the inside of the post and carefully cut through the post from the inside and "pry" it out.
  20. No Bru, stick to your IxI.
  21. Interesting observation, and whilst on this point... I will NEVER ever use another Mozi mat / liquid machine (you know, those plug in types) ever again! I delayed it in summer and all was going well until one day I found one in the bottom of the kitchen cupboard and though that I may as well plug it in.... 2 nights and both myself and my wife had a sore throat which quickly escalated into blocked noses etc, turned it off and dumped it in the bin.
  22. Ahh, more to the story, :-) - 100% agree rather let them check it out an find the cause, although sometime I wonder if they ever do seeing as most of them keep practicing on us...
  23. just re-read ^^^^ and realized that point 1 and point 2 seem unrelated. What I was getting at was at no time in the last 10 years of multiple chest infections have any of the docs eluded to it being connected to a possible heart condition.
  24. Medically I would take care questioning the V12Man, ;-) I got lucky, had a "heart attack" (Combination Pericarditis and Myocarditis) @ age 19 and although left with scarring on both the heart and pericardium after 5 years of checkups I was finally let off the hook. However, as a chronic bronchitis (read: chest infection) sufferer my downfall has been Mr Marlboro (flame suit status: ON - its in my 6 month goals list), the only thing that has helped so far this year has been the Beriglobin shot, it was the first time in as long as I remember that my "head cold" did not turn into 10 days penicillin. Edit: Wasn't finished
  25. Assume your "project" is to prep these as slicks for the 94.7 or Argus?
