Yes, Goo Gone has not worked. I think, if I want them removed, I need to sand (and not go deep to disturb the carbon fibers themselves) and then paint/clear..

I’ve recently purchased some carbon fiber bicycle wheels and would like to remove the decals. In the past, some acetone has cleared up the decals enough to. It be noticeable. Today, I tried acetone, paint thinner and disc brake cleaner on a spot to try to get it off to no success. I even used a...

Saves me from buying a washer :) Countersinks I have. Done and done. Thanks :) and now I know the difference between countersink and counterbore is as well

Ok so I can counterbore or countersink? Diagram shows a counterbore. I do own some countersinks What size do I use ?

The threads on my bike frame extend all the way. What do I need to counter sink them myself?

Lots of good options! FWIW the sockets I have are mostly bits ( https://drpd.cc/tool-shop/ratchets-sockets/1-4-sockets-accessories/pb-swiss-1-4-hex-bit-sockets-pb-v6-210/ ) , so that Atlas 46 variety looks great for that.

I picked up this toolbox with pallets. Love it because I don’t need to cut foam and can put tools in various places- there’s a divided section under the flat pallet you see that will get some foam for some bike tools that I don’t want bouncing around, or they’ll go in a tool roll and take up...

I mostly work on bicycles and small bits, so I don't need as big of a vice that I currently have. I dont really know where to even begin with "what size" ? https://uniortools.com/eng/product/721-6-irongator-engineer-s-vice#128659 I like this, but it's also quite expensive..

Yes, shipping from japan is a lot because 1. it shows up here fast and 2. it's a big box. Check Ace Hardware! They dont have any listed on their site but the one here in Washtenaw County seems to stock - my guess is they can order some in. otherwise..Trusco seems to have the same from Amazon.

Yes, thank you - was looking for a lower priced alternative similar in shape and aluminum like the Pedro

https://pedros.com/collections/whats-new/products/pro-bit-driver-jis im interested in this, and curious if anyone has seen one similar/same as this Pedro's?

I really like the pack out stuff. I have no need for a real mobile carrier or organizer, and it actually makes it kind of difficult to figure out where to put what but once I get around that hurdle I like that it forces me to stay organized. The hardest part for me currently is that I want to...

I’m looking for a few hex impact sockets, 3/8” drive. 6,8,10.. any cheaper options? https://kokenusa.com/products/impact-hex-socket-3-8sq-dr-5mm

I’ll preface this by saying I know nothing about sockets and why some are impact rated and others not, I believe it's due to how their made and what resists the forces of impact wrenches/drivers and which are more prone to stress fracture? My M12 impact (2554) has a friction ring on the...

Which miter for a hobbyist ?
