I am afraid that I really don't get what you are meaning. Do you know how a ball joint work? The animation is a technically correct simulation of the following actual modification: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kILNk6Vvr9FqnKssi=K7C8GguHRNcg6A2_&t=774

Hi, I am flattered to know that you find my channel interesting. Your comment is really encouraging. Thanks for watching and greeting from a beautiful country 😉

私はいつも網戸を閉めた状態で使っています。動画でも言っていますが、手前側の窓の方に設置しているので、網戸とエアコンの背面にかなりスペースが出来ます。ですので、吸排気にほぼ支障はないですし、庇でも防げない横降りの雨でも、網戸を閉めているとエアコンに殆ど雨が当たりません。網戸をフィルター代わりにしている感じですね。 通常通り奥側の窓に設置した場合や、目の細かい網戸とか、埃等で目詰まりした網戸とかだと問題になるかもしれません。取説にも、網戸等で吸排気に支障がでたり、運転が出来なかったりする可能性有りと書かれています。

この動画を作った甲斐がありました😄 ご覧いただきありがとうございます！

Prior to this video, I already uploaded another video where I show how to apply tension to the spring: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYDYhKKbZqt7f8Usi=Bf8Bc7P2jS243kkf&t=618 This sticky lockout dial issue is actually caused by the grey plastic part that tends to swell over time. Giving an extra turn to the spring and increasing its tension more than it is supposed to be might be a workaround but it will also render the Lockout dial movement unnecessary stiff.

いやいや音は気になるでしょう😮 札幌も暑いんですね・・・。 私の部屋の窓用エアコンは、今梅雨の除湿に大活躍中です。 ご覧いただきありがとうございます😊

I am afraid I have no idea.

Is your shock frequently bottomed out while you are riding? Maybe too much bottoming out would have caused the O-ring to be damaged. The O-ring is there to dampen the impact and the noise when the shock is bottomed out. To replace it you have to remove the bearing assembly from the piston shaft. A spiral back-up ring or just a splitted thick rubber washer might work if you want to avoid disassembling the shock. But I wouldn't recommend it. Hope this is of some help 😅

Hi, I've never serviced a Triad, but I think that you can fully rebuild your Triad using the rebuild kit #803-00-381. There are third-party rebuild kits available at eBay, for example, but many of those don't include the IFP pellet, the Delrin ball and the piston glide ring. Anyway, I recommend searching for "Fox Float Triad rebuild" and gathering as much information as possible before setting about the actual rebuild work. Thanks for watching"

@@MindDesignFactory Thank you for the quick reply👍, I will try the recommended kit.

Good luck with your shock rebuild 😉

Glad to know that you like it. Thanks for watching😉

破損や摩耗過多による不具合いならそもそも材質に問題があるんでしょうね。樹脂でもpeekとかならもっと耐久性も耐摩耗性もあるとおもうんですが、今度はギアの製造コストが跳ね上がるでしょうし。頑張ってコストダウンしても、部品破損とかでユーザーに負担掛けてたら本末転倒ですね。 うちの噴霧器は今度壊れたら即廃棄です😅 ご覧いただきありがとうございます！

動画内でも「高さ813～1400mmの窓」に取り付け可能と言ってますが、本体の高さが約78cmあり、取り付け枠の設置にあと数センチ必要なので、高さ72cmの窓への設置は無理ですね。

冷房使用時の音と凡その消費電力量については、下記動画の後半部を参考にして下さい： kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnyac2B9br2Una8si=IAxMQoKZtpEnODlB 電気代については、ご契約されている電力料金プランとこの機種の消費電力量から算出されて下さい。 ご覧いただきありがとうございます😊

そーなんですよね。田舎なら、室外機が別になったタイプのウインドエアコンなんか需要ありそうなんてすけど。それなら室内はかなり静かになるでしょうし。兎に角音が最大のデメリットてすね。 ご覧いただきありがとうございます😊

I clearly mention that this kind of stem risers are not suitable for mtb riding in the description. Any sensible gravity rider would stay away from this, yes. But some casual riders who just potter around mountains may find it worth a try to raise their handlebar height more than a couple of centimeters. Have you watched through the video? It clearly shows why this stem riser doesn't work in the first place. I tried to show how to install it in order to render it into a workable stem riser.

As long as I know, normal carbon assembly paste contains pumice particles, whereas anti-slip liquid/paste usually contains metal particles. I don't know how effectively the former would work on metal against metal surfaces. In general, this kind of paste/liquid, whatever particles it may contain, won't have any decisive effect. The key is the highest possible torque that can be achieved in a given condition, I think. Thanks for watching!

Glad to know that you like my videos😄 My Meroca brakes are still working fine. I would personally recommend going for high-grade brakes from established brands in many ways, if you find it worthwhile to invest in those race-quality gears. But as you mention, many really don't need such costly parts to enjoy their usual trail riding. Those luxury and race-quality parts won't make you ride like a pro although many seem to believe in that😅 It is almost like a new religion... Thanks for watching!

When installed as shown in the video, this window air conditioner drains automatically using the retractable drain conduit, from beneath the unit to outside. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnyac2B9br2Una8si=OzYAf2g26wH0sJHc&t=398 Thanks for watching!

First of all, there is probably no point in comparing this brake lever with any of Shimano levers. It is just that this brake lever may look Shimano-ish. The bladder inside the reservoir of this Meroca lever seems to enable , in theory, the piston to self-adjust. It may do its job, but its effect is so subtle to be noticed for me. Thanks for watching😄

騒音対策は皆さん色々工夫されている様ですね。私も色々やってみましたが、あきらめました😅　本体をバラしてコンプレッサーと本体内部をデッドニングマットで防振すれば、音はかなりましになりそうですが、もう慣れとあきらめであまり気にしなくなりました😭 ご覧いただきありがとうございます！

@@MindDesignFactory そうですよね、そこまでしてって感じですよね、、、。 　本体をちゃんと壁に押し付ける角度も大事だったりもしますよ。後枠の上と下の重なってる部分の繋ぎ目があると思うのですが、そこもうまいこと押し付けて隙間に物を挟むと静かになって快適にしようできます。 動画のように100%の音だとしたら30%ぐらいまで、抑えることできますね。

購入を検討されている方、実際に使用されている方の参考になるかもしれません。 情報ありがとうございます！

Hi, I can get most parts locally and not use a "parts kit" to rebuild my shocks. If you are seeking for the parts to rebuild your RP2, try search for "Fox RP2 Rebuild Kit" or "Fox 803-00-381" at eBay. 803-00-381 is the part number of Fox's genuine RP23 Boost Valve Rebuild Kit. It includes everything you need to rebuild your RP2, too. Thanks for watching 😊

ホームセンターに売っている窓用のシェードを付けたり、カーテンを併用したりする事でかなりましになると思います。あと壁に断熱材の入っていない古い家屋だと冷房効率自体が悪いので、西日のきつい部屋だとあまり冷えないかもしれないですね。設置環境に大きく影響を受けるタイプのエアコンなので・・・。 ご覧いただきありがとうございます😊

取説にも書いてありますが、今回検証したように真冬の暖房には使えないので、冷房専用機種でいいんじゃないかと私も思います。ファンヒーターと併用して、ファンヒーターによる過加湿を抑えてカビを防止する、という使い方をするならこの機種でいいと思います。 ご覧いただきありがとうございます😊

参考にしていただければ幸いです😊 ご覧いただきありがとうございます！

This is a tiny garden shredder powered by 100V household wall socket, not an ordinary mulcher. Only 1450W power output 😅 But if you use much more powerful and louder "mulcher" at your home garden here in Japan, then you would run the risk of being reported to the police by the neighbours for the loud noise 😱 Thanks for watching. Have a nice weekend!

@@MindDesignFactory Ah yes, I understand about the noise issue in Japanese neighbourhoods. Have a great weekend too!

😊

Your CTD is probably from 2014 or newer, right? Then it may have a redesigned piston head. I have recently noticed that the piston head of newer DPS, for example, seem to have an improved glide ring with inner rib, keeping the ring from sliding and generating clunking noise. Check the following link: www.ridefox.com/fox17/help.php?m=bike&id=1073#part16513 So, they were aware of the problem ages ago and have sneaked a fix into the piston. Thanks for watching. Have nice weekend😉

@@MindDesignFactory Mine is 2013 I think, next time I have it apart I will compare. You put a lot of thought into the research, love your channel!

😉👍

I use PHOTON only in PAS mode without any throttle attached to it. As a torque-based pedal assist system, PHOTON performs superbly due to its powerful motor and well-tuned firmware. Its pedal assist feels so natural overall but still powerful enough when need be. PHOTON is light and compact. All parts used in and with PHOTON are of high quality. If you are planning to convert your MTB to a torque-based EAPC, you would have a hard time finding any other noteworthy conversion kits than PHOTON. Thanks for watching!

Do you want the part No. of the damping shaft? If your shock is from 2006 to 2008, then check out the following link: vitebskbiker.info/static/docs/fox/Content/PartsLists/rshoxsmallpartslist.htm#rsdamprshfts If your model is newer, then it would be best to ask Fox directly.

@@MindDesignFactory thank you for your hasty respond 👍

Hi, glad to know that it worked for you. Thanks for watching!

I am not an expert wheel builder and actually don't know much about the exact and true mechanics behind various spoke interlacing patterns. My Shimano XTR M988 straight pull factory wheels have 2 cross non-interlaced, but all DT factory straight pull wheels I have ever seen have interlaced. So I interlaced spokes on my build. Personally I feel that 2 cross looks natural with non-interlaced whereas 3 cross looks more natural with interlaced. Also, as a very novice builder, a 3 cross interlaced straight pull wheel LOOKS more stabilised laterally than otherwise. But this is only my unscientific impression. Have a nice weekend!

Hi, so glad to know that my video has saved your day 😉 We don't really need a latest fancy 27.5 or 29er to savour trails, right? The first generation i-Drive is and will ever be one of my favourite bikes. Have a nice weekend!

Hi, if you fix one end of a spoke and hang a 100kg wight at the other end, it will work, yes. I would do that myself too, if I could manage to make a rig for that and buy a set of weights (10kg, 30kg, 50kg, 80kg and so forth). Your method would be much better than using a calibration tool actually, I think. Thanks for watching!

@@MindDesignFactory cheers thanks!

😊

But only those who have actually bought and used this kind of cable-pull hydraulic brakes know how rubbish they are in reality 😅

Hi, this is something that I wanted to find out. I feel relieved to know that Photon won't easily be overheated. Thank you for your real-life feedback 😉

@@MindDesignFactory I think its going to be very difficult to make it overheat unless you use throttle only.

Ok, good to know that. Thanks again!

@@MindDesignFactory no worries! Your video was really cool - my bike is a hard tail so its not as versatile as your build

😊👍

Hi, those o-rings are AS568-029 (American Standard o-ring). So if you are located in USA, you would easily find some local o-ring suppliers (or a DIY center) that can procure the o-rings for you, I think. If you aren't bothered about buying them at Aliexpress. then try the following link: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002698716202.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.53702443WhI1UV&algo_pvid=dfaf6bb2-8234-48be-88e5-0c9155346931&algo_exp_id=dfaf6bb2-8234-48be-88e5-0c9155346931-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21JPY%2158%2129%21%21%210.38%210.19%21%402103080817108996039554197eea83%2112000021767219096%21sea%21JP%21912589735%21&curPageLogUid=8UuVrN6Doh5g&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A Choose "ID 37.82mm AS568-029" further down on the listing.

Thanks. Can you re-send the Aliexpress link, I don't see it.@@MindDesignFactory

Ok, try this: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002698716202.html Choose "ID 37.82mm AS568-029" further down on the listing.

Hi, I usually use my local suppliers to get the necessary parts. If you want to get parts online, try the following links, for example: The old type o-ring seal for the compression rod: www.silverfish-uk.com/products/SPARES/Forks/02908043_Fox-O-Ring-(Single)-10mm-CS-x-25mm-id The new type, square cut, o-ring seal for the compression rod: www.silverfish-uk.com/products/02912000_fox-shock-o-ring-square-cut-0087x0039 On the above links you can see FOX part numbers of both type, so you can search for other online suppliers using those numbers.

Maybe you use a 48 or 52V battery, as PHOTON's maximum power output seems to be set to 1200W when used with 36V battery. I definitely need more blockier tyres yes. Now I have realised why there are e-MTB specific tyres out there. We need robust and beefy tyres to get the most out of PHOTON's power. Thanks for watching!

@@MindDesignFactoryYes I use a 48V 20Ah battery mounted on a horizontal rack over the back wheel, fixed to the seat tube. It means I can keep the power wiring short and low-resistance. My old Marin full-suspension MTB carries the weight very well over rough tracks and in de-restricted mode I can reach 50kph if I am brave enough! I think my maximum range on roads could be over 100km if I pedal all the time and keep the assistance at a low level. It might go even further but I don't like to take the battery much below 40% charge, to extend battery life. Good luck and happy riding with your PHOTON!

48V 20Ah is a huge battery.😲 A well power/range balanced battery, I think. Thank you for valuable info of your own PHOTON setup!

The temperature was about 20°C. I am aware that there are complaints about the high motor temperature of Photon during full-throttle rides. But it is mostly in Canada and USA, right? Used as a legal EAPC in Japan, UK or EU, Photon works only as pedal assist and it is unlikely that it runs at full power for an extended period of time, I think. Thanks for watching!

On Ride Control app, in my region, you can set the assist power of each levels, Low, Middle and High, between 0 to 1200W in increments of 50W. So the minimum power value you can set is practically 50W, and, in strict meaning, 0W.😅

Used only as pedal assist, the temperatures of both motor and controller seem to be ok. But here in the southern part of Japan the air temperature exceeds 35°C in high summer. So I am a bit worried about how the summer heat here will affect the temperatures of the motor and the battery. The motor should work within its thermal safety margin, but its lifetime might be adversely affected. Well, we will see. Let me know how your first Photon ride turns out! Have a nice weekend!

Hi, so glad to know that you find this video informative. Actually, I am now editing a video of my short first ride impression of Photon. CYC firmware seems to be very well developed and nicely tuned to make the rider feel as if he were given extra leg power, not any unnatural artificially mechanical assist. Coupled with the sensitive torque sensor, the firmware does a quite nice job to make pedal assist feel so natural and comfort. And no problem with start from halt even on very steep climbs.

Greatly appreciate your time and expertise putting this tutorial together. Will help me install my new CYC Photon tomorrow.

Glad if my video will be of some help😊 Gool luck with your installation of Photon! Have a nice weekend!
