  1. Damn social media ruining things eh. Good times we’re had here for sure.

    Actually forgot about covid thing affecting parts, hopefully that ends and see more parts back in stores

    Built up my Ko KM1 this week and went out for a bounce earlier, second pedal up the right pedal slides off the axle. Maybe it’s a sign lol.

     

  2. Haven’t been on for a while, recently dusted off the mod after a few years to attempt to ride.

    Where do people hang out these days? There’s next to no one online here, feels like some kinda purge happened.

    What happened to all the parts manufacturers? There’s like 1 mod frame available to buy on tarty… heard about Deng a while ago. RIP, may he forever be CNC’ing in heaven lol.

    Is trials finally dead?

    In the interest of completeness, what material do you need this making from? Assuming it'll be either alu or steel, though if plastic it'd be dirt cheap to get a few 3D printed.

    Probably just alu or steel will be fine. I thought about getting it 3D printed but it needs to withstand heat of about 100 degree C. I know some 3D printing material melts higher than that but it probably won't last multiple uses under that heat.

  4. Been a while. How is every one?

    The last time I asked this it was greg1040 (hasn't been on for a while his profile shows) that helped me out. I haven't spoken to him for a while but I believe he changed jobs or something.

    Anyway. I have some small things I need made, I don't know anyone around here or a local business that does this kind of thing so perhaps someone here can help again! I've attached some photos below of what I need made. The design is not final but you get an idea of what it looks like. Overall dimension is about 40mm x 40mm x 30mm, and I'll need 4 made.

    Thanks in advance!

  5. Anyone know where I can find the type of wire like in the photo below?

    It's common in guitar pickups. It's 4 core, one bare wire and shielded. Outer diameter is about 3mm. I need reels of this stuff, like 100 meters. Doesn't have to be 3 mm OD, 4 mm OD preferably but must be shielded.

    I manage to find something similar in maplins but it's 22 awg and OD is over 4.5mm which is too fat.

    Anyone?

  6. If you switch to perspex, this place can do custom laser cutting on plastics for like £20 and you can probably get multiples of the same panel in the size they can cut up to (384 x 384mm). You can upload .eps files and the website will automatically give you a quote. I've only gotten a quote from them though, never an actual piece cos I'm too lazy to finish my projects lol. Maybe you can be the guinea pig so I can see how well their laser cutting is.

  7. Sorry to intrude but I figure I'll get an answer here quicker than RSQ, not exactly car related but it's a 'vehicle' lol.

    I've got a moped parked in my parents garage at the moment. Tax'd and MOT'd til this October, no insurance. My CBT and insurance ended earlier this month so I haven't used it since, probably won't use it until April/May. Do I need to SORN the thing?

    https://www.gov.uk/sorn-statutory-off-road-notification/overview Going by this I have to because I don't have insurance.

    • You must make a SORN in any of the following situations:
    • your vehicle isn’t taxed
    • your vehicle isn’t insured (even for a short time, eg there’s a delay renewing your policy)
    • you want to break a vehicle down for parts before you scrap it
    • you buy a vehicle and want to keep it off the road (you can’t transfer a SORN from the previous keeper)

    My Dad says I don't have to but I'm not sure. Anyone??

  8. I've had my eyes on the cricket since they were released, I'm not much of un unregulated guy myself but it sure does seem nice for RDAs and for lots of clouds. I probably will get one eventually but I'll probably use it a few times for then it'll sit on my shelf.
