exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.
I’m pretty sure people were using heads out radial lacing patterns more recently than the 19th century.
I generally agree with the statement, but I’m curious about the reasoning. Assembling a wheel in the various ways that it can be done involves a series of trade-offs. I’m wondering what those were.
someone teach me how to build a wheel
Jobst Brandt pages 70-95. Buy two copies because the first one is going to get sealed shut with dried linseed oil
@kmcdon: even easier/cheaper/better just download the pdf for free:

I was glad I had the physical copy once I started building my first wheel. Nice to have it in front of you
I kinda want to buy a super cheap used ipad for cooking and bike mechanicing. More than a few times I’ve been bleeding hydro lines directly over the laptop that I use for literally everything in my life. I guess I could stop being a total horse’s ass about it instead, but how likely is that
My macbook is all dented and dirty from hauling it around like that.
Backing 3rd gen or later ipad with the goodreader app, a+ device for PDF reading
i just bought a 6th gen ipad when they dumped in price a few weeks ago. $220 and added a paperlike screen protector, amazing purchase and highly recommended.
Bummer those were pick up only and we had none around State College.
My old ipad is pretty bonked now. Target has it for 250, but in Harrisburg. I bet apple has a no shipping when on sale policy.
oh man this + the pencil could be a killer combo
thats how im using it. has revolutionized my notetaking and sharing in the last week
I use an iPad mini for book reading and sometimes navigation. This was after very many rounds of trying to get a decent kindle fire HD eventually getting the last one with a decent screen that bricked itself on an update.
When Amazon offered to replace a ~300ppi tablet with a 180ppi tablet, I walked down to the apple store and grudgingly picked up a 330ppi tablet.
Tablets aren’t very useful except for the few things they do well.
you can get half-decent laptops for sub-$100 which are great choices for “shop computers”
is what I use. touchscreen, tablet-able, $60
What is that? (I wonder if you could put macos on it?)
that’s a thinkpad x220t, but they have several models with the swivel touchscreen.
macos might be a stretch, but i run linux on mine with no trouble at all
Well, I guess I’ll find out!
old thinkpads are the BEST shop computers
they are cheap and everything is replaceable
and the nipple is clutch when your fingers are too greasy to use a track pad
