Here is a thread where I was asking Tarck about wtf was going on:
the variegated angled line textures make it look weathered/reused from far away
it is unreasonably appealing

I almost bought that tape but it was like $50 on Jenson and didn’t know if it was any good
that bike could also pull the blue/purple iridescent S tape

Step down ferrule didnt work. So i carefully drilled it out to accept a normal ferrule.
Much better fix

Bought some carbon cranks for my trials bike from @Shiny_squid_green. This should be interesting.
Installed some ridiculous, skeletonized, titanium-laden brake parts that were the result of the great wallet fire of 2020:

Spent six hours working on the Lorry yesterday and did many things.
- Installed the bracket for the folding lock, which required poking a hole in the bracket cuz the ST bosses are in weird places and elongating one of the slots on the battery’s base to move it forward a bit to make room for the bracket.
- Installed the Abus frame lock I bought for the Katu on the rear wheel. Sorry Katu. The little adapters seem decent so far, hopefully they’ll hold up.
- Installed the IQ-X E and wired it up. Poked a hole for this because I didn’t want to risk cracking the plastic mount by mounting it to the same screw as the platform/crate. Hopefully it’s not too far back, seems fine so far, you have to be pretty close to the bike for the light to disappear.
- Made a new little thing out of coroplast to move controller and reorganize all the wiring for better movement of the motor cable.
- Other misc wire routing adjustments and replaced all the temp wire ties with zippy ties.

Winner!
They were both loose so I took em off, cleaned the tapers, greased the threads and touched the tapers with some grease too. Tightened em back up and bam, silent.
Lesson learned: When buying a used bike, never trust that a single fucking thing was built right. I noticed the headset is a tiny bit loose too. I should probably even pull it and the bb and face the frame. Won’t, though.

my rule of thumb: never trust the work done by the tech who worked on it before you, especially if that tech was you
