    Does anyone here build wheels?

    Lord Sheldon Brown the great has a very good guide. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html

    Anyone have details on how the Avocet 30 cyclocomputer magnet ring works?

    no. I wasn't born when this shit was the norm and I'm not about to accept it now. We are not motorcycles, stop trying to use their technology on us. :P

    Some Retrobikes passing through Bikeworkshop in Bristol

    Send me some measurements for the spoke holder. let's do something a bit more specific. :)

    GT scrap yard find

    meh, chase the threads easy enough and the cups have kept the paint out the head tube. lazy is as lazy does. nice frame for free, give it a clear coat and rock it as is.

    One avocet ring to rule them all, one avocet ring to find them, one ring bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

    mix it with aluminium powder and add a stick of magnesium. poof the magic dragon, get's obliterated by a crazy hot burning goblet of magma. unlike real glitter, that we call craft chlamydia in our house. because once it's in the house, you are never getting rid of it, ever, no matter how hard...

    Man glitter is but grinder dust. I'm sure if you sweep under the bench you'll find some. However, I do appreciate the wording as being somewhat at odds with my views.

    put a piece of clingfilm over it and sprinkle on some man glitter, let's see what the fields look like. :)

    Folders! Foldable bicycles, minivelos and demontables

    with a steerer that long I suspect you need to clamp the bearings in with some vigor to ensure they don't dance around like a fairy with wind. Why you would choose 1" for it is a bit odd, but I guess weight savings could be claimed (like it needs it). it's a bit of alright and I like some of...

    Anyone have details on how the Avocet 30 cyclocomputer magnet ring works?

    that would entirely depend on what the unit is expecting to see, but I suspect not as there is no voltage output to the sensor (it's passive, a small current is generated by induction as the magnet passes the coil). A more typical reed switch requires a circuit to break. I think an...

    Anyone have details on how the Avocet 30 cyclocomputer magnet ring works?

    I'm not sure that would help as you are still within the interacting fields due to the distance from the sensor head. a weaker magnet would be a better option to flatten the interacting fields. this is getting silly :)

    found a better image of what I was saying about fields. :)

    Anyone have details on how the Avocet 30 cyclocomputer magnet ring works?

    the coil is inductive sensor. not disimilar to a hall effect but simpler. it's a fairly finely tuned sensor. you are on the right lines with your new magnetic ring, but I suspect that your neodymium magnets are too strong. rather than reading at the tip of a curve, you are reading a long way...

    Site Suggestions (and Issues) Thread

    the adverts are search history related. so as I suspected, we are all a bunch of pervs. didn't need the adverts to tell me that though, to be fair. :)
