Paul,
I will bet you "London to a Brick on" if you slapped that (TP1) betwixt the optics, The Baby Blues, with a 6" x 4" x 6' Plank with a Bridge Spike hanging out of it alls would happen is the Face would implode as the Head Deflated.. BANG! "Cop that young Harry"

Does anyone have a Nikrum/English dictionary handy so I can follow these posts?

Yup! Sabydent,
Much of my rhetoric is from a time gone by, terms of the Old School. I love them and will keep them alive as long as I can Don't worry that is only for going to be for a few more years. I love the old days, the days when a man spt in his palm and shook on a deal, that deal was as good as having been written in Blood. I do not give my word lightly and when I do I stick to it "By Hook or by Crook". I think you may find TP1 and myself entertaining with our thrusting and slashing across these threads. I am sure TP1 Loves me[}:)] You know, he loves to hate me.
Anyway have you selected a name for your machine yet?
Ron

Put axle in vice with wheel attached. Spin wheel slowly a few times. Using chalk mark top position each time it stops. Using silicone attach small pieces of lead to centre of chalk marks. Spin again, repeat process until wheel stops without spinning backwards. Wheel is now ballanced. If you need large amounts of lead in one area attach to both sides of wheel. Notice:- only attach to wheel not tyre D'uh.
As to dying out of your 'old breed' EXTERMINATE them all![}:)][}:)]

Gawd Strewth! We got a Darlek among us Exterminate, exterminate.. What are you TP1?? A member of the Hitler Youth Movement Old Farts Society??
I know from how to balance a wheel, now take a 6"x4" Rim add an Aircraft tire, Like Buku Rubber, Big BIG Rubber, small rim. Duh! Lots of Lead required!!
Yuz wuz Right Paul, Aircraft tires do present a few unique problems.
Ron
PS: TP1, I guess I will have to holler Uncle, I am tiring of the barbs and what is more we are confusing our Lingo deprived Northern Cousins, not to mention upsetting some of our local members.

One may infer that we of northern persuasion may be as you so aptly put it “lingo deprived”, however this may in reality be an indication that our communication skills have evolved considerably. A few years back at the international conference for English language speaking countries, a general consensus was agreed upon. In essence it was a draft resolution ratified by all attending that the main focus of English speech would be the communication of ideas. With this in mind it was put forth that the rhetoric from the past should be set aside to allow for smooth and precise transfer of information. At this time it was also suggested that news regarding this new language policy be disseminated to those of lesser intelligence at a slow rate to keep from upsetting them too much. You should be getting the post sometime in the future.

ps I find the Nik and Test show quite entertaining

Nah. I think the problem is that non-topical discussions tends to be distracting. If one is to treat a forum as conversation, it is inapporpriate to change the topic during the conversation especially if the point of the conversation is to garner information. Nikurm's page is a great spot for the other stuff.

Crikey!!!! With such a sharp and cutting wit as that remind me not to get in your chair. Puts me in mind of "The Marathon Man".

sn said...

Of coarse it would help if nikrum used the correct synonyms[}:)]

and TP1 bought a dictionary

Nah I use spell chequer

Gawd! Crickey Dick! What are you Galahs Jabber'n about??? Keep it up and I'm gonna have to open up me bl**dy PC and dig out the Bull Dust.. Cinnamon's and Antimens and Bleed'n dictionaries ain't what it is all about. Problem you Human's have got so far up yourselves you need to have all that garbage to help you organize your lives. This is not what these posts are about.. They are about poking fun at the establishment. I am sure yous Northerners have a few Old Fraze's from yore that would be interesting and designed to confuse. Like I said before, I like the Old School Fella's because a deal was made over a beer and spit on the palm with a handshake. Anyone that is true to their word would prefer death to breaking "That Word". It is a thing that is never given lightly and kept to the grave..

When I'm serious I speak plain and will slap you on the shoulder.

AHHHHHHH you blew TP1
on a/c tyres teh rim is too small, so you use the adhesice silicon to glue it to the OUTSIDE side of the TYRE
check regularly to make sure the area to be glued on is roughed up first.g go for it Nickrum
great to see the punches flying back and forth on this special privileged thread
nice to see a home for ausie larconisism

Ok! Away from the Laconic-s and Larrikinism..
Paul,
I had a look about for Scaff' Tube. Dang! Is that stuff gold plated or something?? @ $33.34pm - $200 a 6m length, I guess they can keep it stored up the Back Passage. Something you said in "Class Five Design" about a Piece of Karrie.. I don't suppose a 600mm Length of suitably turned Tassie Oak? Ash would suffice to stiffen the Razors Axles??
Ron

PS; I just thought, Surely if it was capable of Stiffening TP1's Back it would do nicely in a CF Axle, mind you splinters might give him gyp..

AUS230,
Great!! Thanks for making me feel good.... Do you have to get even quite so cruelly???
Ron

Loosen up a little AUS230, don't take my turn of phrase to seriously. My reference was to your and Gizmos remakes on the other page. I know you are serious on the subject. I have no idea why they are so damned well expensive down here so I think 750mm Turned Ash will stiffen the axle nicely and I may have to go over to barrow wheels as I think balancing the Aircraft wheels may be near impossible. I don't know how pilots would fair with badly out of valance tires as they must play merry hell with the Undercarriage.
Ron

A simple way to balance complete wheels, is to put two foam coffee cups full of water in the freezer.
You need a smooth piece of shaft that extends out each side of the bearings (and clears the tire) by 75mm or so.
Set up two saw horses (the same height) end to end with the gap to take the wheel.
Now take/break the ice out of the foam cups and sit one on each horse.
Then sit each end of the shaft on the top of an ice block. After a few seconds it will sit there due to the ice melting and the water will have made you a friction free balancer.
Add stick on wheel weights as required till the wheel will "stay" in any position its left.
It is a VERY accurate static balance, as the wheel bearings do not need to even turn.

That is very clever Chook, I should have thought of it myself.. Ah! what the heck I suppose you can't think of everything.. The only part that won't work is the wheel weights, Rims are too small a dia but using that technique along with removing and adding weight from the tire will do the trick.
Thanks Lads,
Ron
