Just put your tyres in the oven until they go soft.

Look back for my grease/foam wiper confession... Bad idea...

In the days of only one wheel size one of my friends tried it with some very stubborn intense dh tyres a long time ago under advice from an incompetent 3rd party. Then after he fucked those tyres up real good he took the advice from that Mae person and put nobby nicks on a 951. After a few months he as me that bike with a different set of tyres on it...

Servicing my motorcycle yesterday, after I finished I put the fairing back on but could not find a screw for one of the side fairings. I remembered taking it off but I looked all over the floor for ages, retraced my steps, nothing... Its a praticular size I didn't have anything in my nuts and bolts box that matched. Decided to give up and order a replacement online, typically comes in a full set of 12 screws, $25 later they have been posted. Later that night I take my jacket off and out of the top pocket the dam screw falls out...

Always put them somewhere safe...

I am super fastidious about putting everything where it belongs so this doesn’t happen - no I swear I didn’t spend 30 mins looking for my tape measure This morning only to find it on a chair near the fridge

Measuring internal or external volume?

That’s better than the bloody thing hanging from your belt as you’re looking everywhere. Or the missing pencil stuck behind the ear or the safety glasses the apprentice must have used and lost goddamit and they’re just on your head.
I’ve done em all too many times.

Also, where’s MY glasses? On my head? As if!

i use a magnetic tool tray - harder to lose those pesky bolts
But , it also pick up all the random dirt from putting the no lose screws in the tray .

YOUR glasses are on MY head!
NFI how they got there.
I’m an incorrigible pencil and pen thief. Definitely don’t mean to be but when I get home my pockets are full of pencils that aren’t mine. Not my fault!

No matter what colour tape measure I have i still can't find them when doing projects. If it had a flashing light I would probably put something on top of it.

I once spent twenty minutes looking for a guitar pick that was folded into the palm of my hand the entire time.

Finding bike parts I’m working on is usually pretty easy as they are mostly on fire

 

[Coopz]

I've spent ages looking for a part once that I had already reinstalled.... Stupid brain..

Refer to another thread. Bought a sweet spare 190x51 shock. Fits numerous oranges (the oranges aren't the confession). Just discovered yesterday it's 184x44. Seller is a fuckwit, but given its been 6 months, the fuckwit blood on my hands is dry.

That must make life so much easier.

Easiest way to find lost screws etc is to walk around barefoot for a bit.

This also works well for lego and breakfast cereal.

Pics up coffee grinds and chia seeds better than a vacuum too.

*Place holder.
I bought Cushcore. Waiting for the new tires from CRC to fit-up

So... 12mins an end.
It was nowhere near as bad as all the hype and youtube videos made it out to be
