    USB2BYK experience

    I've just ordered a USB2BYK from http://eurecart.free.fr/. The site is in French but Google translation makes sense and I've read a number of reviews by cyclists. I'm wondering if anyone here has used one and how you set it up. Cost to Australia was just under $50. A fraction of the price of...

    I'd like to solder *videos added*

    Re: I'd like to solder This thread has been really useful. Amazing how you forget little things which keep you on the ball. I second the use of a variable temp iron. I think it was one of the biggest contributors to improving my soldering performance. I'd really like a lead on teflon...

    XM-L Reflectors & Optics

    I have just put together a couple of XMLs (t6 IIRC) using Fraen optics in my standard bike light set up. Centre weighting is still good and there is a fair amount of spill (which I want for seeing the side of the road etc). Just powered through my original FluPic boards the difference between...

    Internal threading tools and cutters

    The couple of recent threads discussing external threads have helped me a great deal. After several years of frustrating results I've had a really good run with it this weekend. After a very careful adjust and clean up of my mnini lathe even my internal threads are working better, but I am...

    Tool recommendations?

    G'day Curtis An order will be forthcoming! Regarding your concerns about "trade" involvement on forums. I value it. On each of the forums I am on (cycling and lighting mainly) I have been helped out generously by people in the trade. Putting it upfront as you have done is good. Updating...

    Lithium primary to Australia

    I'm in Melbourne and have bought 4sevens direct from them on 3 occassions. No problems at all. Both rechargeables and normal CR123s. Even if you had to pay duty it would be heaps cheaper than the rip off prices we pay normally here. Peter
