I know it sounds crazy, right?

Time will tell. Will post any developments. I'm optimistic though since it's just in compression

I asked it to help me code a hamburger menu to sit across multiple pages but only be controlled in one location to make updates easy and it nailed it.

I've been trying to get the 'C++ expert' version of GPT to code stuff for Arduino for me and it's ten steps towards, nine steps back - takes at least a dozen tries if it gets it at all.

Were you particularly concise or specific in asking for the code?

Only dealt with the TRP ones here. Been a few years, though

Nice selective quoting there.

Either you didn't understand the situation despite the exhaustive explanation which worked for others, or you're being disingenuous like the very worst politicians. I suspect the latter, but you decide which is worse.

I've said all that's necessary and more; have at it. It's bedtime in this part of the world

Yep, hydro is all well and good until something goes wrong and then it can piss you off hard

Using the pejorative "douche" and strongman /emoting with sincerity in the year of our lord 2024, jfc you fucking nerd

Pretty piss-poor heuristics guiding your judgement there, pal

The point of adding the hydraulics with hybrid calipers is the niftiest element of hydraulic brakes - the self-adjustment.

Never had a bike with them, but I've worked on them, and they seem pretty good to me. Not sure if you're meant to ever change the fluid

I'm sorry that you're sad that I don't like your hacky use of baking paper and hobby glue to fix a bike, truly

Couldn't give a fuck what you don't like, since I take you for a prick.

Dude, I am fucking never disingenuous. Authentic to a fault, right here.

It was a serious question about the constant adjustment.

Cable operated hydraulic calipers are an evolutionary dead end.

I dunno; aside from working with cable brifters, the tiny contained hydraulic system basically needs zero maintenance, right? And the major drawback of cable discs is the frequency of adjusting for pad wear. Seems like a pretty good idea to me; I was a hydraulic service technician for about as many years as I was a bike mechanic, and IMO hydraulic brakes on a bike can fuck right off. Hybrid calipers don't count because you never need to see the oil. Cables are lovely. You can see whatever's wrong with them at a glance; no problems can hide.

Given its 90s, measure the OLD between the dropouts; maybe it's 130 already, and if the hub isn't pulling the frame together by 4mm you should be golden if there's a couple of spare mm on the DS spacing. 7s would have been the cheap seats in the 90s, so maybe it's easily upgradeable.

Otherwise you'll need to add some OLD to the hub and some dish to the wheel; you can probably get away without cold-setting but best to bother for the sake of the bearings and axle.

Blame cookie-cutter bikes on the goddamn UCI.

Aero section bars as air brake

Here's a thought - if/when you have a dead Di2 component, hack the connector out of it so you can test cables for a short. If you have two, you can check for continuity.

The venn diagram of people who say cable discs cannot compare to hydros and people who whinge about their hydros rubbing and leaking is a fucking circle and I will not be convinced otherwise!

So you're totally cool with constant adjustment due to the mad cable pull to pad wear ratio?

Been a while since I tried glueless, for good reason...

imagine getting angry on the internet with a stranger who doesn’t like the bodge you like

Imagine being such a douche you pop into a totally cool thread to uncool it up with disingenuous point-scoring doucheyness.

Cheers! But stiffed on the job title; I'm more of a warehouse manager / TA. Might have a word to the HR bloke about that; no doubt I can find some linkage regarding the ROI of a good title...

These guys offered me the 80k after speaking to my referees, then flew me across the country for a week for an induction, all expenses paid. HR dude loves a yarn and bought me a copy of some book I made him think of during a chat. Pretty sweet

Very little functional difference between fuckwits and arseholes. Not all fuckwits are arseholes, but at the end of the day, every arsehole is some kind of fuckwit.

It's a bugger, that

I reckon I've use a fine-tooth enough comb. The twisted wire can't have been factory.

Lovely, that
