The Apprentice Master had gone to work as an apprentice himself when he was 14 years old and was nearly 70 years old when I knew him. Not a poster in sight. OK, so I shouldn't do it, just because some one-dimensional guy you knew didn't do it all his long life? Why are you telling me this, really? Why shouldn't you do it? After all if you don't know the name of things you need help. But why one-dimensional? A guy who was well enough known in the trade that people called him when they had problems? -- Cheers, John B. |

It is just a bike! The poster has nothing to do with it. The whole point is whether you know what you are talking about, or not. If you need a poster on the wall to tell you the name of the parts then you obviously don't know what you are talking about. -- Cheers, John B. |

Illogical. Something can't be so difficult so that doing it without a poster for 70-14=56 years earns you respect, while at the same time so easy that if you use a poster to do it half a dozen of times, you don't know jack. I don't consider documentation for anything as "cheating" or unprofessional, on the contrary. If anyone brags about doing it without documentation to enlarge the accomplishment, I interpret this as whatever it is that is done actually isn't that difficult to begin with. Speaking generally, tho I suspect it applies just fine to v-brakes... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

Shimano Tourney Centerpull brake
This one is a Mustang from Trelleborg. It has
a "Gel" saddle from Bianchi and the Shimano 5SP Positron shifter with a single chainring. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly it has a kickstand and a rack. The tires are 32-630 or 27x1-1/4. Today I got the shifting to work! The only challenge was that the adjustment screw was behind a plate with a hole in it, only this hole is too small for all my bits drivers to enter, so an ordinary, thin PH2 made it happen. Altho I measured the old chain pin length to around 8mm, maybe 8.1, I put on a KMC Z8RB chain which is 1/2x3/32" with a 7.1mm (9/32") pin length. I suppose it is intended for 8S casettes but it worked fine for the Positron FHEM 5S - at least all sprockets are reachable when the bike is in the stand. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
