I love being in a stand up meeting and one coworker says "I know this is supposed to be a 15 minute meeting, but let me just show you this one thing real quick" and spends the next 40 minutes showing something nobody be he cares about.

I need to find a few of these rings. They feel like aluminum. I need like 25 of these things. They're not a 'flat washer' but a ring?? Can anyone with more fab/machine skills than me point me in a direction? Haha

You take some dimensions and look through McMaster-Carr catalog? If it's commercially available, 99% of the time they've got it.
My digital calipers appear to be smoking whatever the current drug of choice is. I'll have to take it by my buddies house for accurate measurements. I grabbed 1 - 1/16" id w/ 1 - 5/16" when holding up against my tape measure.

is that a bike component?
No, these are for work. They lock a calibration disc into it's housing. I am trying to recreate products that interface with something invented in the 1960s. Some things are modern and some are not. I've tried changing the cal disc system with c-clips and glues but none of them work in the device like this does.

Do you know what it is for? If is a seal/crush washer you may be screwed. If it is just a spacer I can 3-D print you something.

Maybe @AngryMetalsmith can forge you some, with some fancy Gaelic writing that shows only when put in a fire.

Drove back to DK today. Was suprisingly smooth. Decided to return early to avoid the bad weather that is forecasted.

ride night. got the fatty up and running again: replaced the blown cartridge in my OneUp dropper, put pedals back on, pumped up the tires, and lubed the chain. it's kinda crazy how little maintenance these machines need.

secured a single speed to commute on yesterday. the owner of my local ski shop also does high end road and enduro bikes in the summer. was buying skis for the boy the other day and asked if there was any chance he had a cheap single speed lying around. he did, and wasn't using it, so I bought it.


he even threw in a set of fenders he had lying around the shop that had no mounting hardware (and whose struts have been shortened - but luckily, I have a spare fender with uncut struts lying around). In the end, this bike will have cost me $300 all in. could be worse. going to spray it with Rust Chek this weekend, install my studded tires, the fenders, and swap to a riser bar.
