Just had my ct110 rear wheel laced up with new spokes. It had a wee wobble in it. But all the spokes where frozen solid. (Managed to break one it was so stuck) gave my dad the new spokes I had made a page or two back. But he found you had to break down the whole wheel, and start from scratch. (A bit more involved than the usual DAaaaaaaad, can you straighten this wheel for me? (Again)
So he dropped it off to his mate who did me a fucking mean deal on lacing her up.
I can finally fit up my brand new SR241 Markku sold me when he was at city Honda, and be one step closer to finding out how dead the engine is or not.

We made 1.5v battery packs to heat flow plugs once upon a time. A (much smarter) friend and I filed the nickle playing off the batteries, and soldered them all together in parallel. Cheap nasty batteries, but the last one (where the wires came out) was an Energizer. So they all provided 1.5v, but the one expensive cell meant the voltage was reliably stable. (The internal resistance of a glow plug would quickly produce a voltage drop in an inferior battery.
Man did I get sick of spending my pocket money on glow plugs. (Cox 049 motors)

Hybrids are lovely, but I predict EVs to be a fad.

So its looking pretty likely that I'll be unavailable in the Novemberish region of the year. Also I don't have another route in mind. Feel free to brainstorm some zany circular route ideas for 2024. And/or go ride with Greg in Rotorua or those south island fullas.
Got another bun in the Oven m9?

I cant imagine it ever not being free to dump. But if that day ever comes, itll be going in a frost pot or the like.

This popped up today
This is a game changer, thanks Tortise!
I never knew this tool existed.
One of the "been putting it off/too hard basket" jobs on my ute has been the heater hoses. (I need some pretty acute angles)
The tube bender springs arent even that spendy.
I wonder how much/if the heat will shorten the life of the hose?

My rx3 coupe had one of those. (Subsequent owners let the rego laspe, so its irrelevent) factory 10a, declared 12a, ran a 13b. Fuck that car was a piece of shit/deathtrap........

I had an epic win today.
The front wheel of my ct110 had a wee wobble. All the spokes are frozen solid. The use of vice grips resulted in a spoke going snap!
I consulted @Truenotch at the 11th hour before he left the Honda dealership about new genuine spokes. The news was not good. They were prohibitively expensive.
Talking to @gazguy, he said there was an old semi retired guy who was making his own spokes (rolling the threads etc) locally.
I grabbed his details, and stopped by for a visit with my wheel.
As luck would have it, this same guy is also an old work mate of my dad. (They worked together in the early 70s) hes a GC, and gave me a mean deal on a new set of spokes.
As I'll get the old boy to fit them, (hes never actually done a whole wheel before, but hes straightened more bent wheels than can be counted when my brother and I were kids. And adults) old mate said, if he needs any help, tell him to give me a ring and I'll give him some pointers.
Soon I can put the wheels back on my CT, and then see if the motor can be made to run.

also fuck any dealerships for parts. never heard of any being reasonable except for perhaps suzuki apparently? but even then, from experience working in a dealership parts department, turning over 300k a month between three of us and even holding back invoices so friendly panel shops get an extra month to pay and we get to bank that invoice on next months bonus counter, cause we already made this month. fuck dealerships for parts. also cunt tax is real. be nice to them and the price may just go down...

Actual zero on a lithium battery is past the voltage they go puffy and catch on fire
there will be a cutoff in the controller or battery pack well before that ( meter may say zero but the actual cell voltage will be at a safe minimum )
That will be why Li Io stuf runs as normal until it stops dead. Stinky old Ni Cad shite would just get slower and slower and slower.

Do you drain it to 0% often? That won't help it's lifespan as they don't like that. That's if 0% is actually flat anyway.
Could also come down to weight of rider and speed / load on the thing. Full nang probably less efficient so drain quicker.
It's been run "flat" twice from new.
And had maybe three charges from say 60%.
The other guy is about my weight, and we were both riding the same track.

Lithium Ion batteries.
Does their performance improve after the first few charge cycles?
I had a pair of rechargeable hair clippers which stated this factoid in the instructions.
True or horseshit?
I ask because my electric skateboard hit 0% yesterday, while a friend with an identical board, (bought after mine, but has seen more use) still had 25%. (And hed ridden further to get there too)
Tbh, I'm kinda fucked off about this.

It's very much a job for a semi retired "Old guy" where will we be when all these old guys are gone?
