  1. Seems like the hub should be warmer than the rotor if the bearing was the heat source. Could check the axle temp.
  2. you just have the wrong kind of chair
  3. I lied, I had checked the lever with no play due to the return spring, the linkage shaft does have play when hot.
  4. After a 5 mile ride today in much cooler air temp front disc 81f rear disc 125f disc side hub 125 chain side hub 95f chain /sprocket 98f It does look like i'm losing freeplay in the pedal/rod when it's hot.
  5. Coconut Flour is 50% fiber. glad I only partially substituted it.
  6. Any drawbacks to these? All brands the same? I've had one for 2 years but am shopping for a new lid. seems to be less strap to flap around when the excess isn't snapped. I also added a grommet to hook on an underseat D-ring "lock". I did get a helmet with narrower than average d rings once. damn that made them harder to fiddle with. Would also be nice if engineers listed helmet viewing angles instead of marketing drivel specs as I realized after I bought one how much smaller it was than my old one.
  7. Amazon Prime ad subsidized phone. NO THANKS.
  8. Ok,"your microsoft account requires fixing to enable insider builds" I remember that from a while ago and remember the fixing being broken.not working
  9. Been getting regular updates then today I get a prompt to upgrade win10 to win10. This was a tech preview install I expected to be fully patched by now. I did switch off the fast track pre release builds after the "retail" release. I stopped paying attention to the build # when they stopped being watermarked on the desktop. (Old Hardware waiting for fixes related maybe?)
  10. 26,000 mi. I'll check the hub temp next ride.
  11. went from goldfren s33 hh to tufstops. I just can't get around the fronts used hard are about the same temp as they are from being parked in the sun. I checked the plunger and there's slack at rest. I also put on a shorter return spring last week as the old one had no tension at rest. I generally cruise with toes on the pegs.
  12. I'm frustrated at how hot my rear rotor gets even unused, pads seem to wear pretty fast. Spinning the tire by hand on a stand has no drag. Maybe I'll let it idle for 10 min and see if it heats up still. Just popped a new rotor and sintered pads on today and cleaned the pistons, bled er. wrapped exhaust packing and loom between the horizontal master/ brake line and motor. I've always been able to skid the rear, today it chirped. Grabbed the IR temp gun tonight after 10 highway miles. front rotors 90f rear rotor 135f with little use (feels hot as fck.Do polished surfaces read accurate? rear caliper 130f master 125f clutch cover 165f swinger 150f Header/crossover/link pipes range 311f(rear cyl) -175f front. I'm tempted to mount a duct on the swinger to see if it's just due to being faired behind all the hot stuff or friction.
  13. This thread begs for someone to create an account named Fuse.
  14. $ cast vs forged parts cheap light strong. pick 2 it's pretty funny because in bicycles it's opposite and roadies weigh less. They need to be strong enough to handle speeds they're capable of not just legal stuff hence dual front discs.
  15. wonder what the mirrors/ signals will look like? It's like they took a large displacement scooter and made it an outie instead of an innie
  16. Jello and Tequila, stripper-wive names?
  17. This is getting ridiculous takata An Exploding Truck Full of Takata Airbag Parts Killed a Woman in Texas Ten homes in close proximity to the explosion had their windows broken and doors knocked off their hinges from the force of the detonation. https://www.yahoo.com/news/exploding-truck-full-takata-airbag-153000955.html
  18. Saw a darwin chancer driving yesterday flipping a ciggie butt out the window with their gas door open.
  19. weight lifters doing bench presses with dumbells shatter forearms when they blow.
