I wondered why the Air Force precision flying squad was named after a British puppet kids show.

Maybe it wasn't. This is better known to Americans.

I got the same message. I ordered the day after Jason announced it was the last run.

Yep. Same here.

The pierogies and kielbasa are better than mediocre.

OK, I'll give them that... (But they still aren't as good as what you can get in MI)...

Hmm, how curious.


Let us know how it goes!

Done.

That was a bit harder than it should have been!

I resorted to using a pair of pliers with soft jaw protectors. You used to be able to pick these up at Sears, but now there is no Sears. Grrrr.

The original knob suffered no damage. I have a small collection of the jaw protectors to work on my old Raleigh 3 speed that is sized for Whitworth, instead of SAE or metric. I'm too cheap to buy a Whitworth set.

Just in case you missed it earlier, Texas stole Raleigh so better stock up on spare parts now before the quality goes to crap.

(sorry)

S'alright!

It gets weirder than that, my Raleigh wears a Triumph badge! Raleigh's that were sold in department stores were rebadged so as not to compete directly against their dealers.

Just in case someone accuses me of trying to derail the thread, I must point out that this bicycle has no derailleur!

Wow! Job well done. Hopefully it won't be so difficult for me. Can I please have exact dimensions of the original knob?

my Asgard 3 knob (purchased about 2 mos ago) has a set-screw. visible from the top when rotated CCW to min volume setting.

My Lyr 3 volume knob originally had a setscrew, then after a visit to the hospital it came back with a push-on knob. Miraculously, the new knob worked exactly the same as the original one.

 

[tincanear]

does the setscrew one sound better than the push-on version? i think so.

Also just ordered a modi 3+ b-stock. for $89 how can one go wrong, with trickle-down design tricks from Modius? will compare with Bifrost OG Multibit. would have used the term "bimby" but that's discouraged by Jason...

Done.

Looks good.

I think the bass was a little tighter with the setscrew knob, but that could be due solely to expectation bias.

1 3/16 inch, or just a little over 30mm diameter. A little over 20mm deep. That's the best that can do until my digital calipers come out of hiding.

My understanding is that it never made it to the USA. You are the first American I've know who has even heard about the programme.

Did you see it on TV here?

I watched the Thunderbirds back in the 60's on television in Los Angeles. One of my favorite shows back then.

Thanks very much!
