The stupid questions thread.

Pretty sure the Matchmaker setup centres around the clamp and the levers bolt on as required.

Does that mean you can remove the remote and the brake lever set up will still function? Or is the remote part of the clamp setup

 

[Spike-X]

I'm not at home so can't check. Can you take the reverb lever off a SRAM matchmaker brake set up and still use the brakes?

You absolutely can do that. Once you pull the clamp off you'll see how it all fits together.

 

[Spike-X]

I mean, you don't even need to take the clamp off if you don't want to. But it's worth it to see how it all fits together, and to take the actual matchmaker mount out so you can lose it...I mean, put it away safely for when you need it again.

Cool. Thanks. I was just checking as I want to turn the reverb into cable operated and a mate offered me a 1X lever but it's a bar clamp not matchmaker. I don't need a whole cable kit now. Saves some coin.

As I said, the clamp is the centre of the system. Attach or detach levers as required.

Do you convert a reverb to cable operation by throwing it away and buying a lev?

Of course Moorey would like that. At least I haven't destroyed my favourite bike's feelings by giving it away...

I know you did Duck but I needed it in simple English as I'm a moron. Something like 'yes'....

Meh. That is all a beat up. It is not nike it is an Orange.

Where did I leave my torque wrench?

The 1/2" drive one, not the 1/4".

Where was the last place you had it?

If I could remember that I wouldn't be asking

It's always in the last place you look!!

Are you finding it difficult to sit comfortably for a long time?

Alternatively, is he enjoying sitting down a little too much?

Of course it is. Because once you find it, you stop looking.

Laundry has been coming back extra linty lately. The machine is reasonably modern, all digital and stuff. But it doesn't seem to have an obvious lint catching component. Does anyone have any tips for less lint in the end result? Well other than not washing my clothes.

Just in case there are other people waiting on less lint on their gear as well...I've reduced the size of my loads and switched from auto water level to max water per load. The outcome has been noticable different, but I do feel I am slowly killing the planet and wasting 2-3 times more doing laundry.

Are you using liquid or powder soap? And top or front loader?

Powder (usually radiant or cold power) and top loader.
