biggest solar flare in 20 years
DON'T look directly into the sun, instead project it onto paper, to avoid blinding yourself
after the biggest Aurora in 20 years, visible in Adelaide, I thought I'd get a recording of the sunspots.
to avoid blinding yourself, face the large objective lense towards the sun, and find the best focal plane with a piece of paper instead of your retina
works with binoculars telescopes and telescopic sights.
in this case I used Nikko Stirling Nighteater 8-32x60 set to 32 mag, and focused on infinity..

brake spreader +actuation arm. recumbent trike upgrade
zhlédnutí 120Před 4 měsíci
continuing the series of upgrades to the kingpins and brakes to cater for the larger off road wheels I'm making up the brake-shoe spreaders, I took the excuse to use the EDM, and I was pleased by the fit, without excessive over burn gap. for refference the pivot post at the other end is also 8mm, and thats on a pitch circle diameter of 86mm, I had to take an educated guess at this, and it seems...

polar coordinate machining

most milling machines run on rectangular coordinates, I.E. the X axis is at right angles from the Y axis Is at right angles from the Z axis, however with the addition of a C axis we are using what is known as the polar coordinate system, to convert between polar and rectangular, its a simple use of Sine and Cosine, i.e. the vertical and horizontal component of an angle. with this project I didn...

Good video but a bit dark to see details..
Adam I'm in Adelaide and can't find a bike shop to help with my Nexus 3 speed hub bearing problem. I've watched your videos and would be grateful if you could please assist?
What's tha pwoblem
Pro tips. This is great!
Thanks really appreciate
The crisp cut and tight fit of the EDM never gets old,
Looking Good Adam. Looking forward to seeing this all completed on your trike.
Nicely done.
Outstanding.
Bad Audio.
Thanks for the advice.
Bad audio maybe, but useful and better still: a reminder to solve problems like an engineer. All the tools we use started from scratch, literally. 👍
That 30mm hex can also mount disc brakes with the right arm
Hello, Antipodean cousin and fellow machinist!
Looking Good Adam, Great Outcome So Far. Regards from Australia.
Many thanks for the cutter
Just in case it wasn't clear in the video, the cutter was centered on the equator at Y= 0, radius measured on the X axis, Three equal parts to the dog clutch makes 60° per +dog,-dog , 90-60= 30. This video is about offsetting the cutter without offsetting the cutter.
Thankyou so much, glad to know it's still helping people
Hi Adam- I know it's been almost a decade since you filmed this, but it is still the best information I've seen how how to disassemble and reassemble a Nexus 3. It's been a tremendous help today as I serviced mine. Many thanks!
tutorial is good, but the camera has wrong focus the whole time.
Sweet little birds...where can i buy them in usa ? Thank you !!
So glad I watched this before tearing mine down, now I know I will just trash it buy a new bike. :) This looks far too complicated for my $20 beach cruiser.
Great video, helped a lot… would be better if it had higher resolution and better lighting
The best "how-to" video I've watched ever.
Hi mate! Love your video, and used it to dis- and resemble my gear hub. I got a blocking on 3rd gear. 1st fine, 2nd more resistance but when going on 3rd the pedals only turn 1/4-1/2 around before blocking completely. If I switch to the 2nd or 1st gear, and roll the back wheel backwards, the (new) push pin pops back and I can continue cycling. When staying in 3rd gear and rolling the wheel backwards, there is a clicking sound every 1/4-1/2 when the wheel turns. The hub was old when I got it and restored it, so no guarantee that it worked when I got the hub. What do you think is the problem? Best regards
I usually found that the quickest way to fix it was to strip it down to the bare mines, and reassemble, The strip down takes less than 30 seconds, the reassembly takes less than a minute, if you have your tools in a row. Look for extraneous broken shards of metal causing a constipated hub
@@AdamEdington Cheers mate! Might give it a go soon, but I am expecting the strip down and reassembly will take longer on my behalf ;) Thank you for your kind advice!
@@hunnicke1986 usually something is not moving as far as it should, or jammed up with some thing where it's not meant to be Push pin should have 14mm stickout
@@AdamEdingtoncheers! I couldn't find the missing part/link/fault so I stick to 2 out of 3 gears for now 😂 Now I got a new problem. On an advice from a friend, I removed a lot of the thick chain grease I had used before (I am new to this and learning) and then I gave the whole thing Caramba Premium MultiÖil. Now the foot brake screams when used. What would you suggest to fix it? Put the whole thing in transmission oil (as I got recommended from a local bike mechanic)? 🙂
@@hunnicke1986 ok that makes a bit more diagnostic sense. I'm going to need you to run a few more tests for me It's a bit hard for me to do this remotely, but Test number 1 attempt to shove it into 3rd gear and wait. 5 minutes and try , perhaps give the shell a knock or 2 every now and then Test number 2 are you certain that it is actually gears 1 and 2 that activate and not 2 and 3 and 1 is sticky How far did you strip the axle down, did you take the bell housing off the axle ...this is what shifts the engagement If the grease is too thick, the springs don't have enough oomph to drive that the pawls, which still think the bell housing is in position B when the bell housing is in position C creating a double ratio lock where gear 3 is actually engaged, but gear 2 fails to disengage See description for correct lubrication
Am I right in thinking that there doesn't need to be any grease in the "guts"? Just the special brake shoe grease? My 3-speed keeps skipping in 2nd but absolutely fine in 1st and 3rd
Check the springs on the pawls, they may be damaged, and not forcing the proper engagement. Check the length of the push pin, it should have 14mm of stick out Check the alignment of the indicator in the gear shifter clamp on mechanism @ gear 2 The gears should have a bit of white grease in them

It takes intelligence to do that. Intelligent design is the name of the game.
Sooooooo beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the video, I managed to fix my bicycle watching it!
so if i want to regrease the hub the way shimano seems to instruct i only need to do like the first minute of this video and put it in oilbath and after that put some vaseline on bearings? that doesn't seem too hard.
Yes, it isn't hard, but the difficulty comes when you run a fleet of 500 of these things for general public hire, pretty soon you get 3 hub lockups per week, the axle spins in the no turn washer, and screws the entire hub. In my opinion the designer of these hubs was smoking something weird.
@@freesocialrockclimbing haha yeah it definitely has some flaws :D
Adam, thanks for this.
Filmed from my shirt pocket, apologies for the shakes, it was a rough STEEP "road"
Excellent video, thanks a lot! I nevertheless wonder somehow why you don't put some grease onto the bearings to lubricate them before the assembly? Thanks a lot for any answer!
This took a number of takes, so rather than clean it each time, which would have been time consuming, I decided to film it dry
I’m so jealous, that’s a nice fluffy boy ya got there
the table will not flat because the grinder machine do not exit completely from the table. Your table will ben upper in the right side, hole in the middle, and so so in the left. Bad work
We were maxxed out on the stroke, and the high spot was passed the working area anyway
Nice
good to see you here mate,
I think this is the strongest hub thick pawls ever made isn't that right?
Dear koala is so touched & moved by the comforting caresses of a kind, caring human.
Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it
if you do order one of these, please tell them that Adam from Free Social Rockclimbing recommended it. maybe theyll offer me a bit of sponsorship to help with the cost of having the best equipment bar none for my meetup group
rewatching it, I overshot the time
many thanks to Clayton Kennedy Engineering for providing the calibration weight, and letting me use the welder to make the pull test rig. he's a good soul,
So you don't bother with lubricating any of the internal mechanics?
After several takes, and many bloopers, it was decided to strip out all the grease to clarify the shape of the parts
Webbing failure 1350kg When you translate the one tonne failure around a disc into a single straight pull, the buckle failed the webbing at 560kg One tonne divide by 2 then divide by cos 27.5° to translate to single straight pull. The webbing is supposed to be 1.5 tonne minimum, buckles are meant to be 1.8 tonne minimum
Oh My Gawd! i am scared of all that.
good explane thats what i need to here thanks
