The manual seems to say that a light comes on when the helmet is charging but this does not seem to be the case for ny helmet. Do you have a light that vomes on?
@cyclecrafttv2 ай бұрын
Yes, there’s a tiny led next to the charge port. I thought the same thing when I first plugged it in. You really have to be looking for it.
@KayakKiwi_Peter2 ай бұрын
@@cyclecrafttv Thank you. I had an interesting experience. When I used a USB-C - USB-C cable the charging would not work and the light did not come on. When I used the USB-A to USB-C cable that comes with the helmet, the charging worked and the light came on. You do have to bend down to see it. Also, I now know that when the battery is run right down it lets out 6 loud beeps!

It looks like a good helmet, for sure. The visor should be removable and be able to be replaced by a smaller sun shield, like my Bell. It would probably do well, keeping debris and dust out of your eyes, if you are riding on a trail. The lights are cool, but I’m not too sure about the turn signals. I always use proper hand signals, when riding. Either way, I’ve been hit twice, so I’d rather look a bit goofy than be injured or killed on my bike.

wait but didn't you say in the last video that you were using a 10 speed crankset for this build so maybe if you had used a 12 speed one it would shift with one click and you didn't need to trim.

True enough! I don't think that would really impact the issue though. The trim clicks are built into shifter and are really there to accommodate chain line differences from low gears to high gears.

Thirty years ago when rims were soft they couldn't usually have even spoke tension all the way around. Once the wheel was straight and round, it was what it was. Modern rims seem very quick and easy to build, but they probably need extra work to even up the spokes. Old, soft rims were out of true with the slightest adjustment.

Also, not all brake discs are compatible with sintered brake pads! 👏 Make sure your discs are compatible before you replace your pads on your bike or else you’ll have a bad time, they will fuck up your discs and you will have little metal shavings all up in your hub and shit. There are three different types of brake pads. Organic (softest), resin and sintered (hardest). Resin pads are perfectly fine for most people and most uses.

I'm so disgusted to learn the hard way, that a flimsy kickstand can lead to a tipped over bike... which can lead to a bent derailleur... which can lead to the derailleur bumping bike spokes... which can lead to broken spokes... which can lead to a messed up wheel needing overhauling... and need for a new derailleur (eventually, after enough years of bending the hangar back, & more & more falls... until you are finally fixing the whole bike)... & concern about the chain being twisted out of shape... , & PRAYING all the way home.... & some serious swipes into the aluminum frame, getting thin spots... I'm Kick stand shopping right now at the SAME time I fix all these other parts... or maybe to mod the one i have with addition of a rubber tip used on crutches. Definitely LOVE kickstands.

Excellent. A little pace-line story. I was riding in TOSRV and we had a nice pace-ling going. We were cruising at a real fast pace, when we hear 'On your left'. Going past us was a line of tandems. It was almost like we were standing still. I vowed to eventually get a tandem and later found one at my local shop that a gentleman was selling after his boy got into other things that kids do. It is a fun bike to ride.
