suspension stem if i'm really desperate |
thats about it |
this is too much for my lil brane but thank you |
@lonelytoast |
Fuck this nut in particular |
Behold: the breaker bar breaker |
lol bruh. air propane is a joke. |
Is that at least MAPP? |
I dunno bottle color codes cause I hardly use my small torch except to light my bigger one lol |
PS: Oxy-propane isn't a horrible way go these days, saves on the acetylene tank and is *GREAT* for bulk heating. |
Oxy-propane rosebudds that exist that output 80,000 to 500,000BTU/h that will go to regular touches.. |
For scale, a 1500W electric heater outputs 5000 btu. |
Just note: you'll have to order oxy-propane tips online. All the welding stores only stock oxy-acetylene stuff for some reason and propane is a little harder to light/keep lit |
(Oxy-propane kit is just an oxy-acetylene kit, except you screw your acetylene regulator directly into a 20lb propane bottle.. yes, it fits, yes it works. Yes your supposed to buy slightly more expensive propane rated hoses but it seems nobody really does, and just deals with the fact you should replace your hoses like every 2~5 years if you use em for propane without the propane rating, instead of every 10~20 years when they get cracked so bad you can't bring yourself to look at em anymore. |
I couldn't find it on the little tank either but I don't think it's propane because I have the same tank at home in blue which is propane |
Ah. mapp is a bit better |
but try and spring for the oxy. |
even these are pretty good (disposable oxygen tanks) if your not using it much |
Remember, always keep your fuel and oxidizers at least like, 5" apart, or something. |
Or just strap them to eachother kissing IDK. |
I think all options are great instead of butane lol |
As long as it fucks corrosion up fast and expands the metal |
Yep. |
Fast enough for the mega breaker bar |
don't get that gentec little torch thing unless your like, soldering BMS with it though lol |
this is what you want. (except with a welding and/or rosebud tips) |
medium duty, cause heavy duty takes a whole huger tip size and is 2x as long |
'victor style' I think |
Shows a welding and rosebud tip (and some extra cutting tips) |
It's surprising that propane can get hot enough to melt copper but it'll take a while. The other options would probably do it quicker but all of them are gonna leave it scorched lol |
kits like that with the torch+regs are like $200~300, oxygen bottle another $200~300, propane bottle $80 |
You can melt copper in a regular bic lighter flame üôÇ |
.. a tiny strand of it, anyway |
I guess butane does get there. 1080°c for copper and butane can get to 1900°c if you are extremely patient |
Do electric welders exist ? |
Uhhhhh lol |
A grand majority are electric |
^^ |
oxy-acetylene welding is an extreme rarity these days |
Iv only seen it done for exhaust repair |
(I dunno why but the local shop just melts coathangers.. literally, to weld holes in your exhaust) |
I aint gonna ask questions cause they have done it for me twice on my last truck for free, lol |
(exhaust hanger ripped a chunk of exhaust off) |
I *think* it was cause all the heat burns off the carbon, and the flame was an easy way to check for exhaust leaks. |
(Mig/tig/stick MUCH prefers metal to be in a somewhat clean state) |
... as contamination tends to explode off the surface from the rapid heating lol |
Fancy, I was gonna suggest some fiberglass insulation stuff but I assumed you where on top of it üôÇ |
couldn't have been fun to put that on after bending! |
I forgot it was fibreglass |
Been handling it bare handed |
I need to get the sand out of it now |
@Akbar I mean.. do you? |
guess it would make it lighter |
PS: I hope you pre-baked your sand in the oven |
makes it super dry and just pours in/out |
lol. |
Yes used 3D printer bed at 100c |
Want to watercool it |
ah |
Before vs after drying |
Yep exactly! |
kinetic sand |
what I use to remove brake calipers: |
I dropped my bike and the front brake sensor no longer activates whatsoever?? Does this make sense? |
Reed switches are pretty fragile so it could have broke and become open circuit |
Very easy to test with a multimeter |
Weird that the tape didnt dampen the impact |
Ill try this some day. Thanks |
Yea. Or the magnet fell off.. or the sensor moved slightly. |
(Assuming you mean the bike no longer moves when the brake sensor is plugged in) |
if it does nothign when you pull the brake lever then yea what Akbar said |
(Also double check its still plugged in) |
Nah, my magnet isnt glued and it was still on. It never activated the cutoff no matter how far the magnet was |
I was thinking that it somehow magnetized the steel brake lever but how the fuck does that work.. I dont think there was any debris from the magnet that was big enough |
Oh! IT MIGHT BE THAT, THANK YOU, ILL TRY THIS LATER |
I have them all wrapped up in spiral wrap so itll be annoying but ill squeeze them all |
I may have had this happen before. |
It could be that my brake sensor hasnt been working for longer then because I also dropped my bike the day before and my bars twisted the most they ever had. Pulled on the cables a bit. |
Broken cable could also be a thing.. sensors are cheap though. |
So weird to break from a drop, so many things dampening the impact |
I have a spare because I had one that wasnt working, claimed warranty on it and then it started working again when I received the new one. |
break sensor |
(hehehe) |
That was it, it was unplugged. It barely sticks in tho and the yellow on these connectors has always been visible |

Isn't that the battery I said had holes in the cells? lol |
Seriously folks, If your gonna reuse cells, expect a few to die 'mysteriously' a few weeks after removing the old spot welds.. |
I don't think so? :thonk: |
This is a really old pack that was paralleled in an even two-pack system and as legend would have it, one disabled and the other cooked itself bad |
These days having one pack with ANT will make me see that shit pretty instant with current draws |
The bare bones Daly BMS' are not a good idea in a lot of use cases |
Ah, someone else posted a bunch of recycled cells that where pretty beat up. |
I think that was Dean lol, I chuckled seeing them too |
yea |
Idk what his method was but they looked pretty beat up. Bro was jumping them |
Totally consistant welds there... |
*cough* |
Hey guys I got a 10kW spot welder for my 0.1mm steel nickel |
