it's the bicycle nightmare of nonstop maintenance all the time, which is my main reason for liking motorcycle parts over the years |
Bicycle parts are easier to work on but they have to be worked on all the damn time |
I'll take the motorcycle parts that are a bitch to work on but don't require you to babysit them |
Eh |
I tend to disagree |
My derailleurs are generally fine for long periods |
:P |
i will say my gx derailler has been very good. even ate some stalked grass and small sticks and once i cleared it out worked perfectly fine again |

after the dental surgery and ribs healed up, i imagine his braking distances got a *lot* more conservative... or started existing in the first place, i'm not sure he braked much until the last few yards |
Holy fuck |
No helmet, I'm surprised he's walking up so fast after that crash |
kids are made of rubber |
also some people really need to learn to stop before they run at 100mph |
it's ok, looks like he used his face to absorb most of the impact üòé |
Watch slow mo, it’s pretty much all his ribs |
Probably fractured some, but they’ll heal in a couple weeks and lesson learned |
The kid has built in body armour |
Fattastick |

I remember going over a ramp with a bicycle (as a kid) and flipped over |
got the wind knocked out of me |
I couldn’t even cry |
I just went home and collapsed in the living room |
i think the worst accident i had on a bike as a kid is riding into a lake |
lol what |
i'm not quite sure how it happened |
i just tried to stop but didn't? |
oh might have been target fixation |

this is why you shouldn't have those silly distracting flashing lights on your bike |
the number of times people have crashed on a motorway in to an emergency vehicle with their lights on proves it |
ohhhhhh |
that sounds about right haha, ty |
so i shouldn't be using flashers? |
no, they're distracting to drivers and they can get target fixation too |
oh dear |
yeah i was just thinking of using one bright headlight |
ive seen this video a million times and always wondered what he is riding, does anyone know what it is ? |

another angle |
basically what @Deleted User thinks is cool |
that's not another angle lol |
i mean it is |
cause its flipped (: |
U can do slow glow pulses. The kind that slowly change from on to off. Maybe. But having the proper headlights and maybe Ambers would help others recognize u as a wheeled thing and not just... A blob |
Ooh ty |
Where should I mount the ambers? |
well end of handlebars |
or at the back about 4 to 6 inches from center if possible |
make sure u got a way to turn em off and on |
and check ur local laws to make sure ur allowed to |
some areas dont |
I don't think you're allowed here rip |
You can only have a white light at the front and a red light at the back |
then put some slow pulse lights on the back and rear sides |
so u can be seen. maybe those wheel flashy bois |
Is that WA law? iirc in Vic motor vehicles can have white only on front and red only on rear, but any other color is pretty free to use anywhere. Except blue, because emergency services. |
ya and some colors for flashers is also banned cause emergency |
having red and white flashers here is frowned upon |
yeah pretty sure that's the same here. amber specifically for turning is allowed to flash but I've got a feeling that's the only flashing color + situation allowed on motor vehicles. |
white is fine to flash on the front of bicycles though |
Bikes fall under different regulations |
There's a whole aus/NZ standard for bike lighting haha |
White on the front and red on the back are the only colours allowed |
They even specifically say you can't have yellow |
Alright, tyty |
@Akbar guys doesn't know issue but it's clearly his ebrakes are engaged when he uses throttle. |
His left brake doesn't help |
is that display really just a 16*2 lcd |
yes with a pic micro etc inside and they charge a huge sum for it |
rofl |
nvm he disconnected brakes same issue |
seems its either his CA being funky |
or his aux is palying up |
I saw pics of the inside, the soldering isn't that good |
but they have strain relief using holes in the pcb |
I did something a bit silly and now I need help |
there was a hole in the crown of my fork, I assume for weight saving or something |
I thought I could mount a headlight here |
I used an m6 bolt and tightened it with a spanner to thread the hole |
I went too far and the bolt snapped flush |
Oh lool |
I assumed it was for mudguards , etc |
it wasn't threaded |
and doesn't go the whole way through |
Ooh |
Does itngo through now |
no |
but now the hole is a snapped bolt lol |
almost completely flush |
Dremel then sides flat |
And grips/pliers it out |
I might buy a left handed drill bit |
Screw extrator |
also I shouldn't trust chinese bolts |
