      The most you are getting is a small scratch unless you intentionally hold the tip of the drill bit against the pipe and use a shit ton of force to push it into the pipe while running the drill full speed. I drill steel, aluminum, titanium, and wrought iron all the time - mainly bike parts and literally refurbish exhaust cans professionally. It's take a lot more than a small slip to have you penetrate an exhaust no matter what material it's made of and the only thing you couldn't repair of you did scratch it would be carbon fiber but in that case why the hell are you using steel wool in the first place 🤣

    My hack for street shoes on a bike is to NOT use the ones with loose hanging shoelaces. Not only will you fall and damage your bike, but you'll look terribly stupid while falling down. At least tuck them away into the shoe (and then be paranoid and check if they fell out every 2 seconds).

    2 great "hacks" I guess..
    1. Foggy headlight (bike/cars/anything). Usually req a sanding kit, a lot of elbow grease and time.
    Hack: Bug spray. I couldn't believe it worked, just spray on outside of lens and wipe with rag.
    2. Quick clean/wax paint/mirrors/chrome/everything.
    Hack: Pledge lemon enhancing polish. Pledge is cheap, cleans and keeps dust/dirt off for longer than expected.
    Bonus one I just thought of. Prob: black plastic greying due to sun. I rubbed a bit of mink oil I used for my seat on the plastic. Worked great, lasted good amount of time; and I'm in Tucson AZ where sun is harsh.
    Cheers

    To fit/remove bar grips - get an airline, blow air under the grip, it inflates and comes right off. No soap to get it to slide on, no hoping it will then dry out so the grip doesn't twist on the bar, no need for adhesive.... Normally an air nozzle will work just fine

    the sock trick... there's always an odd sock, with no apparent reason why it's mate is missing (actually, I have pets... I know they hunt socks and take them to their friends' houses, why they do it I don't know... but they do it!)
    And yes I'm ignoring the safety issue of a sock on a Shoe, rather than a purpose made riding boot... but I will mention that if you drop a bike onto the side of a steel cap boot it drastically changes the shape of the steel toe which can wrap around the foot like a Vice!
    the hose on the funnel, well as a mechanic, i have a few of these with various length and diameter hoses... because some things have to be filled through small or inaccessible holes

    What are your thoughts on cleaning with kerosene? I’ve used it on both the chain/sprockets and wheels and find it to be more or less the only thing that really works (well). Super cheap as well, compared to all the dedicated cleaning products

    • @JJ_ExMachina
      @JJ_ExMachina 2 дні тому

      Kerosene works great, just be mindful that it may clean too well for certain chain types. Ones that use o-rings to seal dirt out are a type that kerosene would be too aggressive. Since the kerosene will get into the are where the o-rings are and flush out the lubricant there. But that's the only issue I can think of. Wearing protective gloves is important because kerosene contains hydrocarbons like benzene, toluene, naphthalene, which are bad for your health if absorbed into the skin. Most other cleaners have harsh chemicals, so wearing gloves apply to them as well. Some people say it's flammable and shouldn't be used, but many cleaners are flammable, and as long as you are careful, there's no added risks.

    The washing up liquid/dishwasher soap hack is an old one. Put it n and leave it to dry. It's been around at least 40 years to my knowledge. If you don't have access to washing up liquid, you can use potato juice. Cut a potato in half, rub the juice on the inside of the visor and leave to dry...

    ok, last one: I don't know about socks. As a man that rides motorcycles and whose house doubles as an art studio, I don't wear white ANYTHING, including socks. I know how to save your whites from yellowing, but no one can save them from blackening from used motor oil and grease, mica powder, graphite, paint, etc. However, you did remind me of the time I tried using waterproof slip covers. I didn't have a car for 5 years, and commuted on a motorcycle in an area that gets rain 1 out of every 4 days on average. too many times, I would have to get to work at least 30 minutes early just to dry off. and it was tearing up my leather boots. rubber slip covers definitely work if your problem is your feet getting soaked and the leather tearing at the seams. However, I rode a 600 lb, 40 year old Honda that required you to roll the bike to find neutral, and often required a push start. so the $10 rubber booties would last one or two rides before getting destroyed. 🤣

    There are LOADS of different air connector types. I'm guessing you're using a Uni Hi Flow (Euro) coupling and the clip was using PCL

    I use coke bottles when I change my oil, too. But on the receiving end :)

    It's hard to see in the clip but the air hose that guy uses has a direct connection like what servos in Aus have. Not a std hose. He's effectively just not adding the extension to something that is already designed to inflate tyres

    Steel wool is a good idea but use a wooden dowel instead of a drill bit

    You misplaced the fuse at the wrong socket; initially the 10 ohm fuse was in the middle socket, but after reinstallation you put it on the left most socket. Is your bike okay after that?

    Putting the grinder on the bottle was possible the worst idea of all. Where are your knives?

    with the air, you've seen them do it in person, or online? because perhaps they just make it seem like its working due to "all sorts of air rushing". I don't see how a non-existent part would press down the valve core, but if you shove it on there hard enough, you could tear up the outer thread or bend the valve core. you've never changed one, I can tell. there's not much to them, which is why we bother capping them.

    Of course i find out about the oil funnel hack 2 days after buying a new funnel (as the funnels i had were all too big). Good thing it was only a few dollars for a pack of 4

    Hit that bottle funnel with a little heat from a torch and the plastic will shrink and straighten them it won't pool.

    Ironically, my Ducati paddock stand already has a vertical tube welded to it, which holds a removable bar that is placed between the spokes to lock the rear wheel. I say ironically because, while I therefore have somewhere to hold a wheel spindle, I don't remove the spindle because it's a single-sided swinging arm. 🙄

    Dish soap is supposed to be left to dry out, then you buff it off. You can feel the difference.

    What to do with your axel? Save time and material... set it on a friggen paper towel. Your holder is going to eventially be contaminated with dust, dirt, and grit.

    Dish soap has abrasives in it. You should never put it around paint or clear plastic.

    Using the end of a "box end wrench" to bend my shift lever back into shape after I dropped the bike.
