It says there it took 300 skip loads to empty the house. At £250 per skip, that’s £75,000!

Yeah I do love how, in this metric world, aluminium is still manufactured (by countries that only use the metric system) in Imperial sizes nominally converted to metric. I wonder what, for example, the French make of this? 😁

I’ve never got on with cold brew. It’s always ‘missing’ the bits that make coffee enjoyable: acidity, bitterness, astringency, roasty flavour. I’ve always found espresso or pourover dumped over ice far more enjoyable.

That said, the internet does seem to suggest these AV models have some kind of temperature protection. May be worth looking up how to reset it, as it might be a known thing if it’s in a confined space, in direct sun etc.

Forgot to say these are the selection I got today. Shin Ramyun was already in the cupboard; just used as a 6th place filler to make the picture OCD compliant and rectangular.

That doesn’t sound promising. If it has over-temperature protection (which it probably hasn’t tbh) and it has cooled down but not reset, it sounds a bit like something has popped. However, transistors will operate at 80-90°C. They won’t like it much long term, but they won’t consume themselves. It’s hot at the moment, but not that hot, so my suspicion is something else has failed. It might be worth popping the case open and see if there’s something obvious like an internal fuse or capacitor that has blown.

31.6 is now a pretty universal 'oversize' post on and off road, but I have no idea why people settled on that rather than 31.8

This is going to be one of those things that relates back to old pipe standards and the ID of a particular OD aluminium tube that was in use at the time.

I chickened out on these but I think I’m regretting my decision.

Excellent races in both finals though.

Anyone got a decent video or iPlayer link to this Turkish shooter? Twitter/X link was posted in the memes thread but I can’t play it.

Nice, cheers

Are the BMX riders clipped in or do they ride on flats?

Why do you need to get the bike so high? I appreciate bike mechanics won’t want to be bending over working on bikes day-in day-out, but for the rare occasions I need to do anything on my cargo I just do one end at a time on the kick stand and sit on something low.

Got this tape up in the loft. Properly obscure, wasn’t expecting to find it on YouTube!

Randall was one of the hardest hitters back in the early days when hardcore was transitioning into jungle. I remember when that came out and my mate got it up at Blackmarket Records.

My (very limited) understanding of the quad is that a higher impedance (15ohms) is better than lower.. these Alpairs are 7.2ohms

I only had a quick look at the schematic but it’s not a class A amp so it won’t be too fussy about the speaker impedance. Assuming it’s nominally designed for 8 Ohms, you’ll get a lower output with 4 or 16 Ohm speakers. With 4 Ohms you’ll be asking the amp for more current and it’ll max out lower down in the volume range. With 15-16 Ohms it’ll be limited by the output voltage and it’ll start to clip at the top end. Unless you’re running the amp at its full output I think you’ll be unlikely to notice though.

Ahh!

Anyone here used Xometry for metal printing? I'm looking to get some direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) parts done in aluminium. I quite like their no-bullshit site and instant online quoting.

Are there? I thought Mardave were long gone but I found they have a website earlier when I posted. I didn’t see (find?) any Ministock kits on there though.

Anyone know the story behind what happened to the original Mardave Ministock and why the Kamtec V12 replaced it? One day it seemed to be there and then it just disappeared. I assumed it was because Mardave decided it was no longer viable. Then the Kamtec V12 suddenly popped up and replaced it in all the 1/12 banger racing. Give or take a few little differences, the V12 is basically the same as a Ministock.

That may be an early TA ring with the 6 spokes, which may be on an adapter on cottered steel Stronglight cranks. I can’t really see enough and don’t really know my earlier cranks well enough. Stronglight cranks have a more solid-looking centre to them because of the small bcd though. So that would be against them looking like Stronglight. Gnutti maybe?

What goes on in the club stays in the club.

American diving duo are called Cook Bacon. Excellent.

Not a single rep. Maybe too obscure for most on here.

That or the Facom one would be my choice. I slightly prefer the asymmetric handle on the Facom tools, but I mostly use mine for putting together aluminium extrusions where that shape handle is an advantage.

I have to say, as much as I like Teslas, it’s something that would put me off owning one. Do you not constantly get people making comments and feeling like they have to express their opinion of Musk?
