    Its costly and requires space. I have done some models in my younger years, some boats and some planes. Moved on to electronics after school. Building the Boats were some intense fun but required alot of space that would not get interrupted. I do think hobbies as a whole is shifting, gaming and online activities have made us forget what it feels like to build things.

    Id even buy 5ten (after saving up some), but they don't manufacture above size 13.

    Short and long answer is no. There are other options but they are also costly soon as they are classed as MTB shoes. You can try some of the shoes at Cape Union think another thread on shoe options have them listed. I currently use old Merrel Chameleon 2's but also go for R1500 odd new (Used to be work shoes but started showing wear and tear)

    Good Luck doesn't sound like your current configuration is so horrible tbh.

    Grebel not sure if its the same one, but we fixed my friends took a lathe and turned a old bolt into a new fitting. His has alen key on both sides, one side into fork and other to expand it in place. Expansion one got stripped in his case.

    Aftermarket, your gonna find it tied into live under dash somewhere likely. Make sure to solder it correctly dry join will cause its own issues, The amps flowing to start the car is quite high.
  9. Amberdrake
    Usually its tied into the Electrical and fuel line. You would have to remove the device from the live sitting between the battery and Distributor somewhere. Unfortunately that will require some inspection etc to find. Good Luck those devices can be a major pain as intended. If its aftermarket shouldn't be to difficult, if its OEM your better off taking it to a professional. Google will be your friend here either way.

    lego

    Amberdrake replied to Wayne Potgieter's topic in Chit chat

    They give extra's mostly small bits. I find the new instructions much more comprehensive than the old stuff, its easy to skip a block on older instructions. New stuff gives a list and clear indications of where to add. Kraggle is forbidden!!!!!! How will he add stuff from other sets? or create a new sene by mixing sets? Its a toy designed to be rebuilt! Also if you kraggle it there is no opportunity to step on lego in middle of night

    Extended warrenty policies differ, mine allows me to service at any RMI (Retail Motor Industry) registered facility. But read the policy carefully

    10 speed were not originally designed for "Wide range" the adapter cassettes use longer limit screws. new 1x drive trains are designed to support it but these are only around short period of time now.
  22. Amberdrake

    I Have a wheel hanging in Garage but it had a crash, Should be 100% after wheel true. Its only the front one tho.

    I Bought a Alu Post with very similar design last week (Having Dropper serviced). It was super cheap post, maybe look at the shops tailoring to the poorer clients. Unfortunately your a bit far or id let you try mine.

    Thats Crap Service. New chain should not fail. It is possible but is by no means normal. Unfortunately I dont have New Chain.
