(Thought I may have better luck here than the bike forum.) When the battery is mounted one usually uses the water bottle screws and screw holes. In my case, 1. I can't do this, as the screw head profile is too high when mounting the battery bracket. Need to source lower head profile screws, and 2. need to drill and tap inserts into the Al frame to securely mount the battery holder. Anyone know where to get the inserts and low head profile screws? Local shops no good and nearest bike shop 100km. Am also contacting the bike shops to see if they can do it.

You can drink beer and cycle too. :) No underpants with your bike shorts, but you probably know this already.

I'm busy now drinking Leo, after a morning of ebike build. Tis leading me to more LEO.

My Dr family friend in Australia had/having a valve replacement. Pigs valve which they insert thru the leg artery. Minimal invasive surgery. Not sure if it's the same valve.

No they didn't. That would have taken a looooong time.

I am not a doctor but here are my results. I had a high calcium score scan, so the cardiologist did an angiogram (I think that's what they call the look inside your arteries to your heart). Dr found minimal plaque and said the calcium doesn't always build up inside the arteries. I know knowledgeable Sheryl doesn't agree with this. What I'm trying to say is that (in my opinion) a high calcium score may not indicate high plaque buildup inside your arteries. Best to see a good cardiologist. My guy just said everyone your age should be on low dose cholesterol tablet. (77 years old at the time).

I thought it was called 'The one eyed bandit'.

Good taste in music. :)

I went trekking up there about 30 odd years ago and the overnight stays where someone's house in the village. 2 story flash place with a seethru bamboo floor with the pigs underneath to eat the food scraps. Always had someone show up with a magic pipe to ease the pain.

Do they still smoke those funny pipes in the trekking village overnight stays?

I started myself by hand a lot when I was young, so I should last forever. :)

Mainly the garage roof screws. So you put the Al tape over the screw, then apply the TOA Smart Tape Seal? I have some Al tape (old tape), no sides are sticky, is that correct or is the tape just too old? Sorry for late reply, got waylaid by SWMBO for the utmost important thing. (she never does what this Falang suggests anyway. :))

Thanks, I'll check it out. :)

A while ago @sometimeswoodworker posted about roof repair tape. Don't know where I've stored the reference. As I can't contact you, can you share the tape info again so I can get some. My new knee can now climb onto roofs (hopefully get down to).

Good try. A for Effort. :)

The Poms should remember that. :)

My dad used to fly in the Canberra lots. I had a look in a few times. Used to watch the guys wash down the Vulcans after they dropped the atomic bombs, during testing. Dad was an aeronautical engineer OIC Maintenance Squadron at RAAF Edinburgh SA.

It's really difficult to understand quotes in Thailand. At least that's how I've found it. I try and say, 1 worker B500/day tops, then think how many days that work would take. Very rough, but a bit of an idea.

If you've ever played 'back yard cricket' or played regular Saturday cricket, or played social cricket, then you'd understand. Talking about social cricket: we used to play the US Navy (when they visited) a game of 'social' cricket. Can't get out on the first ball, no shoes (hard ball), drinks every 3 overs. Everyone was RS very quickly, broken toes etc. We had a quad bike there and a few of the Navy got quad bike riding round and round the paddock, faster and faster, until one guy ran into the barbed wire fence, that strung him up. When he fell off he was just a sheet of blood. Lucky he was so drunk he didn't feel the pain until much later. Twas good fun at the time.

Bit of controversy, but 2 up. :) Underarm bowling by us convicts next test. :)

Misery over soon. Sorry hehe

At least you can laugh and smile about the humiliation. :) I'm never wrong.

Serve up viced ham???? Beat your meat????? Missed it. :(

Back to my local Car Care shop. Eventually the mechanic said the tires are the problem. Only 1 year old with not much use. Switched back tyres to front after rebalancing. Seemed OK when I went for a drive with the mechanic, but then after he left, came back again. Drove 100 km and problem happened a couple of times. No problem with the installed car code sensor. Mystery. Hello, thanks. I have one of them and was planning on putting it on, but I've got to drive 150km today and was worried it could be a bearing or mechanical fault, so thought I'd ask before I drive. (local garage spun the front wheels and said not bearings, but, you know, sometimes they make mistakes.)

Problem: Driving along and a 'roar' sound slowly increases and the steering wheel and car starts to shake. The problem stops and may not occurr for another 40km or more. Very random. I can put the car in neutral, increase or decrease speed or apply the brake to no effect on the problem. Initially thought it was a front wheel bearing, but these checked and drive belt (the one with all the rubber teeth) replaced as cracked rubber. Tending to think if it was a wheel bearing the noise would be there all the time or more when I corner, but not the case. Now thinking more like an engine sensor problem. Any ideas?
