    Folders! Foldable bicycles, minivelos and demontables

    with a steerer that long I suspect you need to clamp the bearings in with some vigor to ensure they don't dance around like a fairy with wind. Why you would choose 1" for it is a bit odd, but I guess weight savings could be claimed (like it needs it). it's a bit of alright and I like some of...

    Anyone have details on how the Avocet 30 cyclocomputer magnet ring works?

    that would entirely depend on what the unit is expecting to see, but I suspect not as there is no voltage output to the sensor (it's passive, a small current is generated by induction as the magnet passes the coil). A more typical reed switch requires a circuit to break. I think an...

    Anyone have details on how the Avocet 30 cyclocomputer magnet ring works?

    I'm not sure that would help as you are still within the interacting fields due to the distance from the sensor head. a weaker magnet would be a better option to flatten the interacting fields. this is getting silly :)

    Anyone have details on how the Avocet 30 cyclocomputer magnet ring works?

    found a better image of what I was saying about fields. :)

    Anyone have details on how the Avocet 30 cyclocomputer magnet ring works?

    the coil is inductive sensor. not disimilar to a hall effect but simpler. it's a fairly finely tuned sensor. you are on the right lines with your new magnetic ring, but I suspect that your neodymium magnets are too strong. rather than reading at the tip of a curve, you are reading a long way...

    the adverts are search history related. so as I suspected, we are all a bunch of pervs. didn't need the adverts to tell me that though, to be fair. :)

    Dent in steel seat tube. Intervention needed??

    It's called a tube expander, it already exists and its because it doesn't matter that you rarely see it.

    alas, this is going to get this thread "adjusted". I'm sure she's a love person, but she needs more padding in those shorts.

    Dent in steel seat tube. Intervention needed??

    just ride it, it hasn't collapsed with the extra weight of a child hung off it in a weird way.

    Rust worm?

    unlikely to be rust beneath the paint, it looks pretty solid and in the paint, normally the paint would bubble.

    yes, the tramway cut in the boards was making it much to easy to get round the corners.

    Trailing caster, it would self centre, be amazing for straight line racing. Maybe something like mega avalanche back in the day, flat out down a sky slope.
