after 2 years with a shitty video card that couldn't play DX10/11 games to save its life |
lol wtf |
Guess they finally got enough 'credible reports' at once to look into it. |
But I mean... valve stems shear... And.. nobody really knows why? |
like Iv had it with a brand of extra thick/tough tubes, 3 in a row that didn't last a week each |
the final one was installed by the local bike shop after I bitched and whined about the tubes keep ripping.. |
did the exact same thing 200 feet later! |
I went back to 'regular' tubes and it was fine.. |
same inflation pressure, same driving style.. |
.. Come to think of it, I swear iv seen a lot of angled valve stems on things that where like "Why would anyone ever install it like that.." |
Reminds me of the reason my gaming laptop is running Linux exclusively at the moment. |
I forget the technical details (not that I fully understood them anyway), but apparently there's an issue with certain laptop power-saving states in Windows 10/11 and certain SSD controllers, where the end result is that the filesystem corrupts over the course of a few hours or days. |
Issue was introduced in one of the Windows 10 feature updates. I was very late to the update (laptop was waiting for fan repair for a while), then VERY confused when my system got super unstable, then stopped booting, within a couple days of updating. |
Apparently the only solution is to reinstall windows, then go in and change some registry settings, and just kinda... hope that the filesystem is still in okay shape by the time you're done with the edits. I said 'screw that' and installed Linux. |
lol. |
Reminded me of your issue, because this SSD corruption bug has been present for a few years in W10, and it made the jump to W11. |
So, y'know, they're taking that issue real seriously. lol |
This, I have noticed. |
Not by a lot, but I have noticed very slight valve movement over time. I don't *think* it matches with tire movement though. |
Oh god please don't tell me that tubes somehow move independently of the tire. |
physics plz stop |
Yeah I have no idea how they would. |
They should be moving with the tire or the rim. Not neither. |
I definitely don't install my tubes with the valve stems all wonky though, I can tell you that. |
Valve stem getting crooked would only be like a few mm of tire movement |
True |
Hmm |
And the act of that might give the tube more 'torque' traction |
(yaknow, till the damn thing rips off) |
lol right |
Imagine somehow the wave of force around the tire as it rolls over the road is just a smidge behind the wave of friction of the tube against the rim to cause a catapiller kind of thing where it's smidgen at a time, but over the course of miles/hundreds/thousands depending on stuff it moves the tube just enough that the valve hole in the rim starts cutting into the edge of the tube and either wear a cut that splits or causes a weak spot. |
Exactly what I was thinking how that could happen |
Like its either braking/acceleration related, or the 'dent' from riding |
Prob more contributing is the accelerafion/braking forces cause the tire to slip on the rim. Like a thou at a time lol |
Or a fraction of that |
But eventually it's enough to pull tire and tube too far and start cutting the valve stem |
Yea. Because like, why are so many tires valve stems at an angle? |
like, badly lol |
nobody installs em like that! |
Iv noticed that too. If I ride for a while and forget to do a weekly check my vlaves like 5-10 degrees off, more so the front in one direction and the rear in the other |
Which makes sense |
in e-scooters it is because of the rim hole for the valve rarely comes in the center |
and it's a bish design flaw bc most the tubes come with straight valves, causing that part in the tube to wear so fast due the twisting force and pressure and eventually rip |
@Grey Earths I mean angled forward/back |
Like in line with the rotation of the tire |
oh I see |
yeah that's weird |
He doesn't mean that. He means on normal bikes the valve stem ends up angled forward or back depending on the wheel and how u ride. No one installs their tube with the stem 10 degrees away from center lol |
I can't believe that I got a flat again just after installing the new tube. I don't have time to check if it was the valve again, but it looks like that's what it was. I guess I have no choice but to file the valve hole on the rim and install new rim tape. How annoying |
get a deburr tool |
super nice |
welp, my cyc x1 stealth is broken. not sure exactly what is wrong, but the display wont turn on. i plugged in my bbshd and it works great, so its not my battery. not sure what to do with it |
i was riding fine the day before, and the next day it just wouldnt turn on. |
I havent gotten the deburr tool but I did change the rim tape and used electrical tape as extra protection. I just got to the train station and I got another flat when I was almost there. I really though that the rim tape would fix it. 3 broken tubes in a week. XD |
Same thing? A cut by the valve? |
Or in another spot? |
Make sure the sindie of the tire doesn't have anything. U might need to flex the tire as if something sharp is in the tire material and only sticks out when it's compressed while. Riding it. Might be the issue |
yeah, have you checked where the hole is? |
Not yet. I bought the deburr tool to file the valve hole in the rim. I am pretty sure that the valve on the tube got tore again. I'll check tomorrow. |
@izy guess what happened |
some late night grinding |
lol yes cutting the rods for the lifepo4 build |
:think: |
first thought is battery fire |
What |
üëÄ |
What build |
15kWh battery build |
Going to use the cheap night rate I have to charge it then use mainly the battery during the day |
Save £1k per year, ROI 3 to 4 years |
I hired a cheap dodgy electrician to do some work but I made sure he did everything right and corrected his mistakes afterwards |
That's smart |
Got one of these and filled out my own electrical installation certificate |
This is a thing but all of it fell under non-notifiable works |
(EIC meaning electrical installation certificate) |
Good choice lifepo4 since the lion cells most likely reduce capacity in 4 years of use |
Yes this is good for 6 to 10k cycles |
Filled out G98 form and got accepted for an inverter. Anything which can backfeed the grid more than 800W needs G98 or G99 |
What mistakes |
He nearly reversed the polarity of the installation lol |
Oof |
And one screw was completely loose |
The 100A incoming live wire |
Bruh |
I replaced the (mangled) screw and torqued it to 3Nm |
You have to loosen it a bit and torque it to 3Nm a few times to get all the strands to set |
Ah right |
Also I somehow become an approved installer of Sunsynk inverters |
Huh |
On the website it says you need to have installed 25 systems and be an electrician etc |
How |
Idk I just convinced them |
Oh |
You can open a business |
I just wanted to be able to access all the settings |
What is backfeed |
Ive not heard of it |
Sending current back to the grid |
Subsets and Splits
