Workshop: How to bleed Hayes Stroker disc brakes | Sheet Metal Roofing Screws

The love child of the right combination of savoir-faire and sprezzatura is glamour; that irresistible quality that can seduce the eye, bewitch the soul and enrich the bottom-line.

Dear GP: If that’s the case, try sticking a "2" on the end of your boot params (ie. select the line, hit e, edit the line with the mention of/boot on it, and add a " 2" to the end, then hit b to boot).

Driven by an unprecedented access to information and opinion, younger consumers ‘care’ about who stitches the clothes they wear (big fashion with third world sweatshops beware), who makes the movies they watch (no more Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby please) and whether their food is safe and healthy (think crackdowns on MSG, hormone and antibiotic pumped dairy).

Thanks for asking. Ballast systems can be as simple as “they just work,” but they’re often more complicated than that, because they add weight to the roof and sometimes aren’t allowed under local building codes. Regardless of whether the racks are anchored to the roof or to ballasts, panels on a flat roof need to be tilted, which adds a small amount of money to the final cost of the system.

A: Last year, when KTM switched from Keihin PWKs to Mikuni TMXs, we struggled with the jetting. It became a weekly ritual. Eventually, we sought help from JD Jetting and got the bike close. But, shockingly, we found an easier way to fix our jetting problems.

But, that is only one-third of what makes the Husqvarna TC250 engine so unique. The second part of the equation is that we weren’t lying when we said that it had a “strictly low-to-mid powerband.” As great as the low-to-mid-transition is, there is no transition to top-end power or over-rev after its 8200-rpm peak horsepower.

WP FORK SETTINGSAs a general rule, first find an air pressure that you like, then start adjusting the clickers. We recommend adjusting the air pressure in 2-pound increments. While the stock air pressure is 147 psi, we had riders who liked it as low as 143 psi and as high as 154 psi. With only one air pressure adjustment, changes can be made in half the time it takes to adjust a Showa or Kayaba air fork. Plus, KTM gives you a digital air pump when you buy the bike. It’s easy to find your happy place. These are the settings we ran on the 2018 Husqvarna TC250 (stock settings in parentheses):Air pressure: 144 psi (147 psi)Compression: 23 clicks out (12 clicks out)Rebound: 19 clicks out (12 clicks out)Fork height: 2nd lineNotes: On big hits at pressures below 144, the forks might bottom out (but if you like the feel, you can add 5cc of oil to stop the bottoming). Anything above 144 and our test riders had no issues with bottoming resistance.

This graphic from the above referenced Wikipedia page helps to explain the concept of “starts” (a two-start example):

Fibrous cement sheets are more durable than drywall and easier to work with than concrete, and they have numerous applications in construction. Today, the fibers in cement sheets are usually made of cellulose, a substance found in plants, but for the first eight decades after fibrous cement sheets were invented, they were primarily made with asbestos.

Because there are additional variables beyond torque and angle to measure and control—driver speed, axial force and fastener depth—friction-drilling screws require sophisticated driving technology. Photo courtesy DEPRAG Inc.

The Citizen D25 Swiss-style lathe is equipped with double-gang tool posts and B-axis that enable short cycle times for high productivity. The large number of tools, for main- and sub-spindle, provide cost-effective production of complex workpieces.

Same deal with the vintage “Excelite nut drivers” or “Excelite handle with interchangeable nut drivers” sets. Some tools I misplace and have to search for a very long time to find, the Excelites require only my nose. Awful, awful smell, but distinctly limited to plastic tool handles so identification of it is quite easy.
