I have my phone charging in the tank bag (so I dont charge overnight usually). The phone will be running wifi and whatever apps you are using so it will use some battery. I just googled battery usage with wireless AA and a lot of people say it uses a lot... 400 to 500mAh.

Not that I know of. You can just buy direct from Carpuride. I provided some links.

I have my phone charging in my tank bag. In fact, thats the only time my phone charges. However, using wifi and running apps is definitely going to be using battery, but no screen on. I dont think it would flatten the battery overly quickly.

It is gamification. Waze is mostly user-generated. Users know the roads and speed limits, and when a large number of users travel slower in a section, they can produce traffic congestion. We also added User traffic updates, Crashes/Police, and roadworks. Then, others were asked if it was still there, and it has slowly decayed over time since the last update. Waze is good when in the City/has reception, but when you go rural it loses its use vs any other downloaded map, as it is only live data.

Got it, thanks

I did. Well, I just sprayed them with brake cleaner and wiped them off. No scrubbing.

Wow, interesting. It was definitely 9mm because I measured it incase it was thicker than what the packed said. So I should make sure i only get 7.5mm thick pads from now on. I usually buy metal gear 30-048-S2... just looked them up and they are 7.5mm. So thats why I havnt had an issue before. Good find Dave

Yeah. That vid was recorded back in August. I am considering just buying OSMAND, because it was good.

lol... Damn, didnt think of that!

I took the reservoir lid off as I had to remove fluid from it when i pushed the pistons back. A g-clamp wont make them go back further than the body. They were flush with the body. As I said, this is my 5th or 6th set of pads on this bike and this is the first set that didnt fit.

Google has started to add some of the Waze data into the Maps now.

@@wobblysauce yep, they added a few of the waze features and they both share crowd sourced data now. I run them side by side sometimes when I'm driving just to compare, and it seems waze is still recieving and updating traffic and police report data just a little faster. Not a big deal, but getting that little extra heads up about police locations and speed traps could be the difference between a ticket or not.

🤣 Yes it goes from January 1st to December 31st.

Hey, we definitely slow down locally over winter unless we can head a long way north

Did more then 7k this winter, plenty of nice trips out and about.

When im showing the body, you can see the slot at the far end. That slot is where the disc sits and it is on a floating body. That part moves, but the pistons push against a solid part.

The sliding caliper only aligns the caliper to the disk. The pistons set the travel. There was definitely nothing else Nerb could do in this situation.

Yes. Ive ridden in the rain. It hasnt died yet. It says IP67. Its all sealed. Where I have it on my bike, and with the little visor it has, it doesnt even get overly wet. It is wettest when i wash the bike.

Thanks

I'll go and borrow one.

@@Nerb1 Cool. Waiting to hear what you think.

I visited the show for the dog shows. You just worry about your self champ.

@@Nerb1 bro visited for the dog shows only 😭😭 hell no I’m definitely gonna worry about you

If you have a 3d printer, its free. If not, we can work something out. Email me at vlogonwheels at gmail

What is the company name? I'll contact them and see expected movements. Maybe it is fine, but in my experience steel doesnt move that much without fatigue issues.

@@Nerb1 KMG Rides. They are the Ferrari of carnival rides. It is very common for rides to wobble like this, they are designed to flex so they don’t crack from stress, similar to tall buildings.

@@tysonskyes6980 If looks like the model is "freak out". I have messaged them with some technical questions. I'll see if they have time to respond.

⁠@@Nerb1this is a world famous company bro, not as simple as I’m gonna contact them 🤓

@@XtremeScreamsYT31 They have a contact form dumb arse.

But add two pivots to your system and rethink it. Because I have two pivot points.

@@Nerb1 The pivot point stays around the thing you are tightnening. I can't directly link YT videos here, YT will delete that comment but copy that behind the equal sign of a YT link in your browser: AgQNndH1tzM And watch at 30:30. It's in German but he demonstrates it very clearly and that's the only thing which is very clear I could find on that subject. He sets his wrench to 30Nm and if he adds the spanner he gets 42Nm instead of 30Nm. If he puts it in a 90° angle to the spanner, he is getting 30Nm again. He explains why at the end too but well German...

@@2lbsTrigrPull I watched it. It is not the same system. The key is that he was able to apply the torque with one hand. That means he has no additional pivot. My video is explaining how I am applying a pure torque to the spanner. It is the next level up from the basic "extension to a torque wrench" video that there is many of. In my video i explain it by sketch, computer model and practical example, and all 3 examples agree. I went to this extreme because I know people skip over videos and will assume they know what the video is saying. Please watch the video completely and understand it before you just say it is BS.

Race bikes dont use it because its against the rules (banned by FIM) because it would give them an unfair advantage.

You can’t fall out unless you’re a strangely unrealistically tiny person.

Same here, attendants are regularly stoned or half pissed (what looks like a cup of coffee they're sipping is more than likely bourbon and coke) and maintenance is questionable at best. There's no fucking way l'd go on any of them either.

Ahhhh.....another keyboard warrior having a cheap dig

Two entirely different things, there's nothing engineering related about stunt riding mx bikes. Rides can be as scary as fuck but still soundly engineered and safe if they're properly maintained. Looking at the way it's flexing under load, the steelwork in the second ride would require frequent checks by someone who understands what they're doing and what they're looking for. That's something that's way beyond the capabilities of most carnival workers

@@peterfalconer-h3k Who said anything about stunt riding mx bikes? If someone with an engineering credential wants to find fault & advocate for safety riding a vehicle with two wheels surely isn't as safe as four! Has this carnival ride killed anyone? How long has it been operational & how many exist just like it & how many people have died on them? I am sure if there were people dying on them a country like Australia that regulates everything would surely not allow them to exist!

@@williamzoom You did. ''There's probably an engineer watching a guy on a motorcycle wondering why he would ride something with two wheels because its obviously not as safe as something with four.'' You're talking about factors that are unknown. There is flexing in the steelwork of the ride, the potential for fatigue cracking is obvious.

@@peterfalconer-h3k You better learn how to read, get some glasses or get a CAT scan if somewhere in what I posted you see that! There's potential fatigue in anything we build!

Yep! I agree!

nah mate she'll be right

@@peterbarakan9006 ha ha! Those machines start out professionally made but end up covered in the best bird shit welds in the country.😂

Australia has very detailed legislative requirements for the operation and maintenance of rides to ensure public safety. Regulations apply to both fixed and mobile rides and are enforced by the Regulators of each state and territory. This pendulum swing ride will have been given a Design Registration Number after an inspection by state-certified engineers to operate in Australia and this is signed-off by the Regulator. Given this, I wouldn't worry about it being an unsafe design. During the certification process, the engineers provide the owner/operator with an inspection checklist and schedule. You then have to rely on the operators/owners maintaining the ride accordingly and updating the ride's logbook. The logbook is examined during the annual inspection that's mandated by the Regulator and carried out by certified engineers. There is also the requirement that a more in-depth 10 year major inspection be carried out as part of best practice but this is only expressly mandated in Queensland, as far as I'm aware. It all boils down to how much you trust the government ;-)

I work on the theory, if a catastrophic failure didn’t happen on the 2 or 3 runs while I’m waiting in line & watching,… …she’ll be right mate. 👌👍
