Emily Velasco (mle_online@social.afront.org)'s status on Saturday, 29-Jun-2024 07:33:09 JST Emily Velasco I had to open up the inner diameter of one of the adapters because I didn't account for one side of the hub being wider than other, but it was only 0.6 mm so it wasn't as horrible as it could have been and now both sides fit

Emily Velasco (mle_online@social.afront.org)'s status on Saturday, 29-Jun-2024 07:33:08 JST Emily Velasco While looking at McMaster-Carr for 2.5 mm bolts, a 2.5 mm tap, and a counter sink, found myself getting annoyed with the price it was all adding up to and then I had a thought:
What if rivets?
A pack of stainless steel rivets from McMaster-Carr is much more affordable than all those other things, and I won't have to worry about them unscrewing themselves

Emily Velasco (mle_online@social.afront.org)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jun-2024 18:20:06 JST Emily Velasco I bought a used rear wheel for the IEB from my local bike shop for $10 the other day because the bearings were very crunchy.
I took it apart today to rebuild it and I found a bunch of metal particles in the grease. I thought the bearing balls would be trashed, but they looked pristine. It was the bearing cones that were trashed.
It's fun having a USB microscope to play with sometimes.

Emily Velasco (mle_online@social.afront.org)'s status on Tuesday, 11-Jun-2024 05:48:55 JST Emily Velasco I don't love the display on my e-bike because you can barely read it in daylight, even set on its brightest level.
I 3D printed a little visor for it, and that helps quite a bit, but I think I display also needs some kind of anti-reflective coating to really be easily legible
