    UPDATED 6/15: Comment, criticize my build. But be nice I’m new!

    Bet it would be faster, holding the front end down. When you get it faster then suspension becomes more important. Don't think any of us get done, just start a new project.

    New Age of the Hired Hand!

    New Age of the Hired Hand!

    Lol, always one the in the bunch. I'm not even thinking cheap labor. Would offer to pay them 1-200 dollars an hour like a Lawyer or doctor. RN nurses only get around a 100. That would be a lot less than what they are asking. Trying to hide the cost in a per job charge. The guys working for...

    Does this exist? 10g spoke nipple with 12g inner thread diameter

    Having a hard time with this debate. Even if you think you have new information of how cheap thick spokes make a company more money than cheap thin spokes it does not change all the information on this website that thinner quality spokes work better. Now focus on the word quality. I'm sure you...

    New Age of the Hired Hand!

    Was not pointing the finger at Republican's or Democrats, including trump. It's more about changing times and me not keeping up with it. Now i'm trying to navigate it and thinking where was I when things changed. Think inflation is much higher than we are aware of the last 10 or 20 years and not...

    Wind and Solar vs Coal, Gasoline, Nuclear

    lol we keep using more energy. They are have a hard time shutting down any power plant, Coal, Nuclear or any other. Our USA government this year signed extensions for coal and Nuclear plants to stay online for another 3.5 years that were to be decommissioned in the next few years. Yes having...

    New Age of the Hired Hand!

    The HVAC guys don't do electrical they will call out their electrician and charge you for it. I know my uncle was HVAC and did all his own electrical work. Them days are over. You need to have an electrical license to work on it now. One of the things that prompted me to do this thread.

    Induction Cooktop

    The Induction cook top is a win, not i'm used to making somethings with it. Like that my cook top has a timer. Coffee in 3 mins. So will be going on to the Air fryer. What I have figured out is small and smaller it what makes them different. We were in a time of larger sizes. Remember Huge...

    One solution is to lower our demand and make it standard for home to make some or most of the power needs.

    DIY Car Battery: how to limit the charging voltage?

    I researched this topic, to much to go into. I am learning so don't want to explain something i'm learning about. One company makes alternators with adjustable regulators but down to only 14v, Op may want to go down to 13.6v. Another option would be to fool the current regulator with a diode...

    A mm makes all the distance. You want the threads to end up in the head not below it, the nipple could break off.

    [USA] Will Tariffs come about and lead to higher priced ebike parts

    Get your stuff from Iran as quick as possible, they back out of trade talks. Imagine that they will have 148% tariffs put on them! The senate and house pays close attention to tariffs going on and off. going on is a sell and coming off is a buy signal.

    [USA] Will Tariffs come about and lead to higher priced ebike parts

    Tariffs has always been a Democratic Party thing for years. Republican's (which are no more) are for free trade. Have been trying to read about the fall out of the tariffs but have nothing to report that is of my understanding. Sorta confusing at the moment.

    Are EVs the Future? What Do You Think?

    Ask the rail road is Electric motors are the way to go. How about your blender it would really roar with a two stroke. We only tolerate ICE away from us. Electric cars did not take off because of the batteries. Remember the technology we are using now has been around for a long while the oil...
