    My bikes.

    A 19 to 22 cc innertube sits nice over the contact wheel. Add 5 or 6 to up the diameter from its piddle little thing to something with a bit more torque. I've got one here I've never used but might go and do an experiment with the 3d printer to make a bike wheel.

    can I suggest you put a capacitor in between the light and the dynamo before you mock it to much. it won't fix anything, the light will still be shit, but it will make me giggle that you tried it. :) now, here, take this but remember if you dynamo stays on for more than 24 hours to seek...

    1, what does the walls foundation look like? is it a pored concrete pad over compacted stone? if it is then the root dieback wont effect the wall further. from the looks of it though, this isn't the case as it should extend beyond the wall and I can't see anything there. 2, trees like to...

    Headset tools. What to avoid? Whats recommended?

    brass drift for removal, similar to Tootyred's copper one. Record vice for installation with a pair of soft jaws. also have a length of lead pipe for installing crown races. ok, the vice might be nearly the price of a park headset press, but not quite. :) when I worked in the shop we had...
