  1. PPE for cycling

    MD formatted

    Intro

    • Everyone needs to use PPE in their work
    • Using rotary motors means the upper PPE needs to be long sleeved
    • the ears need earmuffs with NNR from -12dB to -24dB (or more)
    • sparking environments need fire proof ppe
    • eyes need ANSI Z87 glasses as protection (no exeptions!)
    • faces need ANZI Z87 face shields

    Cycling needs heavy PPE

    • all types of cycling require PPE
    • helmets designed for cyling (jet style motorcyle helmets are of course much better)
    • UV protective PPE glasses, if needed with dioptre correction
    • ears need to be unobstructed at ALL times!
    • no earbuds
    • definately NO HEADPHONES
    • ear obstructions drop your hearing sensitivity with more than 48 dB, meaning you hear -48dB of surrounding ENV, which can be deadly. Every day people get into traffic mishaps due to this stupidity
    • chest needs sweat wicking PPE, designed for cyling MTB, race, timetrial can use the gear interchangeably
    • torso needs long sleeved cycling PPE
    • legs need bibs which go all the way up to the chest as first layer of heat regulation
    • at least three layers of torso PPE are required, using less means getting scrapes to serious wounds when a fall is broken properly.
    • imporperly broken falls mean contusions ligaments and or bone damage, which are prevented with basic Judo lessons, up to the yellow band
    • in Judo you learn not to fear the fall, even at high speeds
    • I've had a Sensei who threw me more than 4 meters in the air, with me running towards him at full speed, to break falls as they would occur in high speed situations
    • feet need cycling shoes
    • pedals should be designed for cycling style and used with shoes matching.
    • if pedal straps systems are used those need inspection for wear and tear
    • SPD pedals & shoes work great for me on all cycling platforms I ride in
    • cleats need to be maintained, cleatnuts need greasing and proper torque
    • cleatnuts need to be regularly de torqued then retorqued to detect oxidation lockups, otherwise the breaking torque will be so high the nut will need forceful removal with a power drill and heavy mechanical skills

    inspect the race machine before riding and give tires proper ammounts of bar in air pressure

    • grease the chain after wiping it of dirt from the last ride
    • dirt has silica and other contaminants which work like grinding paste on chain lins
    • take time before riding

    Use common sense!

    I looked for this crazy old wrench in the basement — but it won’t fit ;-)

    I don’t remember where I got it and don’t think I ever knew where it came from???

  11. If you add a bit of #shrinkTubing to the end of a bit, it won't slide through the 1/4" #wrench on your #NiteIzeDoohicKey, allowing you to use the #pocketTool as a #bitDriver without struggling as much not to lose the bit. Putting a bit of thumb behind the tube-side and such can help with downward force. The DoohicKey provides the turning force

    You'd have to mod a few bits like this... but bits are plentiful and then you have a set

  13. Loctite 242 and 222, what’s the difference?
    In regards to strength, I stick to this rule of thumb: For something you tighten with a ratchet wrench that is 1/4″ or smaller, you can use Loctite 222. If the wrench is 1/4″ or 3/4″, Loctite 242 is suitable. To add to the confusion; If your ratchet wrench is 1/4″, either 222 or 242 will work. Enjoy getting things intentionally stuck! …
