Thanks Google/Dave! - 0.6mm is a wild amount of wear but they are racing the shit of them...

Are you endlessly curious or something??

I did find this pdf from an nzta page that suggests there's a range of tire sizes available that a given wheel can accommodate (within their range of tolerance as well): https://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/infosheets/LVVTA_Info_01-2009_V3_Tyre_Size_to_Wheel_Size_Compatibility_Guide.pdf

The 2nd page is a big honking table of different sizes, profiles and rim widths, so I gather there's a degree of anything goes and maybe next time we wear ours out, I'll try to be a little more attentive.. Maybe I can get some accurately sized ones (probably not worth it - getting pinged for going a few kmh over the speed limit would really suck!)

Yeah, that's the ideal, isn't it?

I can see how that's not a trivial thing to implement, however!

Maybe? Surely it's quite a few mm to get 3km/h over though?

Sounds probably like I need to learn math again... Eww!

Actually, surely tires aren't all the same size? Ours are recently installed and the measured difference hasn't changed.

So stupid question - why does my speedo read ~3km faster than a radar thingy on the road?

Is that a safety margin thing or have i got the wrong tires installed (or similar)?

This might be an unpopular opinion, but that sounds exactly like spam to me.

I get the cross posting, rationale but I hate it (maybe I should just unsubscribe from the dupes?)

That's fucking rad - I just hope they don't get bombed by the IDF

/s - they'd never do that!?

Thanks, now I get it.

You actually read that stuff?

I took so long with the photo it had expired on me by the time I was done, so you had no chance, buddy...

How to best investigate what may be a bent derailleur (sh.itjust.works)
 

Riding into work yesterday, somehow while upshifting my chain slipped off the smallest cog onto the frame and hopped off the jockey wheel in the derailleur - all very drastic, but it suggests to me the derailleur twisted?

Historically getting down out of the 9th or 10th gear would need 'a little extra thumb' past the shifters click, that now seems to be the case for the top few gears - but the rest of the 11 speed cluster works great still

Does this sound more like I've worn the cogs somehow or twisted / bent the derailleur?

If it was bent, I thought it would affect all shifting...

It's a shimano HG 11 speed with their reasonably recent chain that's supposed to be really long lasting (possibly intended for e bikes? Mines an old analog, mojo geometron)

I should really double check what the parts are (being a Muppet), and get a photo of the alignment, but I'd love to be able to something on my own before wheeling it into the LBS

With Sir Peter Jackson and Dame Fran Walsh buying the land, that seems like a surprisingly agreeable outcome...

Thoughts?

'Religious debate' time! Check in with your tire pressure... (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm curious what other folks are doing pressure-wise.

I'm fairly lightweight (70kg, possibly after lunch? With back pack and water, who knows? I usually carry extra tools, etc...), and run 2.6" 27.5/650b tires.

Rear is around 20psi, but it's tubeless so I generally catch it once it's slipped down to 15 or 17 after a few weeks :). I've just realized I'm not even sure what the tire is, but it's a maxxis brand, so probably actually 2.4" wide compared to most other companies - not much clearance on my Intense Recluse

My front is usually about 18psi, on a specialized 2.6" somethingorother (pretty sure it's not a butcher)

Need a little help with a shitty website (sh.itjust.works)
 

So, I spent most of the day troubleshooting a website that drastically slows down when 'a browser looks at it funny'...

Usually it behaves fine - it's not the volume of requests, my teammates think it's something about the kind of requests. But they're struggling to get the logging properly configured.

I'm an EUC engineer (p.o.s. website requires IE11 and ActiveX controls - yay healthcare!), so mostly helping on the sidelines, but I'm looking for some 'supportive' suggestions...
