Trouble Maker

My mind went the same place as everyone else. If you are going to take the injectors out and send/take them somewhere for cleaning, might as well also get them flow checked. That way you will know the are operating correctly and can rule them out. Does anyone in Columbus do flow testing or just cleaning? I had some injectors cleaned and flow test a long time ago, so it's been a while. IIRC they only checked max flow rate. Does anyone test anything in between, more normal operation area? I'm guessing some road racers I know use this place. They seem to also at least check full closed for any leaks like you are worried about. http://www.injectorpulse.com/service-procedure/

Talk to Mojoe. :nod:

Love everything about this. It kills me to hear people I work with underestimate the competition based on preconceived notions. And they often for emotional or unfounded reasons. It's usually people earlier in their career, but sometimes those without a wide breadth of experience. Every maker is working form the same playbook and they all have some really smart, clever and driven people. The moment you assume the competition can not make a good product is the moment you will make one that is not as good as them. They didn't make a better product, you just made a worse one because you thought they would too.

Supply chain problems pretty much everywhere you look, couple that with election year hysteria and you'll get the current situation pretty easily.

Park Tools has a really good repair how to site. https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help P.S. Maybe I'm not thinking about it correctly or don't understand well enough, but my intuition tells me that is less likely to be a rear derailleur issue and more likely to be a worn chain/sprocket issue. https://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/when-to-replace-a-chain-on-a-bicycle

I can completely get behind supporting someone on here. Also many bike shops are still very small to small businesses; often only having 1 location. The corporate joints should be really obvious to spot; REI, Trek (are these fully corporate or franchise?), Performance Bike (out of business). Those are all of the big corporation ones that jump out at me when I do a Google Maps search for Bike Shop. Bike source has maybe 3 locations. I was Very unimpressed when I went bike shopping there once, granted that was over 10 years ago, but it was enough for me to never bother going back. Roll has maybe 4 locations, but I've been very impressed with how knowledgeable and friendly their staff has been whenever I've been in their stores. Still a relatively small operation in the grand scheme of things. I would roughly guess every other shop I'm looking at when I search for bike shop is a locally owned 1 shop operation with usually just a few employees. These people usually have a strong passion for what they are doing. Bike shops are definitely not high profit operations and a good place to spend your money if you want to support small local businesses. Of course like everything that doesn't guarantee quality so do your research or get good recommendations. My go to would have been the bike shop up the street (the name is blanking me), but the owner had some serious health issues and the place closed. I have a good friend who is much more serious that I am have good experiences at Bear Wheels. I don't know anything about this one, other than they have a perfect google review rating and are in New Albany if you were still out that way. https://g.page/veloscience?share

I asked you to clairify what you mean, which you didn't. I would advise you reread what I said which was asking you to clairify. You just had a knee jerk reaction to me saying what you said sounded racist and put words into my mount saying that you were a racist. Since you didn't ask me to clairify like I asked you to clairify it doesn't really seem like you want the dialouge you are saying you do. What I read of what you said sounded racist. There is a difference between an unintentional racist idea and being full blown KKK bruning crosses in front yards racist, everything is on a spectrum. If you are saying what I think you are saying, you might even be trying to understand and help, but what I think you are saying is racist. Intention only get's you so far, not very far if you have the right intention with the wrong idea. So, what did you mean, exactly? I'm going to be crystal clear about another point. There is absoutely no moral obligation to engage in dialouge with those counter to the arc of the moral universe; racist, sexist, and the like.

Could you clarify what kind of racist bullshit you are implying here?

Needs LS swap

Why does the interior of every Odyssey look like a real life post-apocalyptic version of the game Candy Land? I almost said all minivans, but Caravans are just real life Breaking Bad inside usually. Results look awesome!

They must not have know your deviant proclivities when they let you move into UA.

So.

I remember some lobbies were trying to pull back the no front plate provision. I see that it was supposed to start on July 1, 2020. Has anyone heard any updates on this, are we good to go on July 1st? Googles failed me, all info I could quickly and easily find was from 2019~early 2020. It's almost like there was other bigger news to cover since then or something.

Is it ok to listen to it through my (Bose QC25) headphones which are just OK at sound quality like I was, or do I need to go to my stereo (KEF LS50 Wireless) to understand that I don't like their music?

Is it just me or could anyone else not make it through either of those songs?

Trumps doctors.

Zip tie stitching seems like the cheapest way to fix it, and drift minivan yo.

Sorry I forgot to respond on the Facebooks, but this reminded me of it. I unfortunately don't know anything about this issue and since I am here don't really have my resources to reach out to. The getting someone to rebuild yours sounds like a great direction from others input here. I didn't even know something like that was still a thing.

Yeah, but he only made 1. Can you really call that a hobby? :gabe:

Not nearly as fast as I would be if that happened.

Refurbished (Lenovos) laptops at microcenter was where my thoughts also went too. We don't have a windows PC right now but I have some projects on the horizon I will need one for and that is my plan. I know a few others who have done the same thing for tuning PCs and been really happy with it. I don't really see what seem like any amazing deals online though. Do they have used in store that don't show up online?

This seems like an interesting product if someone did decide they needed a bit more power. You can probably find space in most cars to shove this behind the radio or under the dash somewhere, which would save a lot of wiring headaches and time. https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Amplifiers/GM+Digital+Series/GM-D1004 https://www.newegg.com/p/0N0-0009-004G1 And it tested well here. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-acoustic-power-apl1-dsp.7278/
