#sumartubb40 Piston Spreader & Universal Bleed Block

About the product:
Works with both 2 and 4 piston brakes, so I reccomend to get the 4 piston version.
You don't need to buy the 2 piston version if you want to work 2 pistons too, just remove the silver plates from the rounded black plates. But also do this if the pistons are too far out to insert the tool do two pistons at the time, then put the plates on to press them in evenly.

Everything seems to work.
But had to disconnect CD-drive, reassign drive letter.

All drives work, memory works.

"Autobianchi (Italian: [autoˈbjaŋki]) was an Italian automobile manufacturer, created jointly by Bianchi, Pirelli and Fiat in 1955. Autobianchi produced only a handful of models during its lifetime, which were almost exclusively small cars, with the biggest being the short-lived Autobianchi A111, a small family car. "

I inspected the motherboard everything looks good. But at the right side the included fan controller, splitter by Fractal has bent pins this looks like impact damage i don't know if Komplett or Fractal did it, but I don't trust anyone. And this looks weird.
There's no way I could've done it the panel had plenty of clearance. One capacitor is also skewed.
This makes me more weary to send pc to Komplett if it's their mistake. I don't know it is maybe Fractal did it but if so why was my pc built with damaged part?
I have no clue how I could've managed to do this damage there's no way I could. I didn't smash the panel into it. So that can't be it. Bu ypibd can likely be carefully bent back. But I don't use them anyway.
But I don't think this is the root of the issue.
I think the PSU had failed.
So probably best i try to fix it myself cus I don't trust any unknown person to work on it. by @mtbboy1993

I have pc trouble now, pc has suddenly lost power doesn't work. Might be dead psu, might be motherboard not sure what's going on.
This is too much for me.
I contacted Komplett maybe they can help me.
I hope the vids are fine on ssd I've not backed up yet. I was gonna buy an NAS and drives to have it all there and backed up. But now this suddenly happen.
I got an spare pc. For exactly this reason.
But now I won't be able to edit any photos and videos.
Mu back is making trouble. Pc is heavy so I would have to order pickup and send it with express delivery to Komplett if this is even possible at the time. Now it's weekend so nothing can be done.
Maybe it's surge protection preventing pc from turning on I don't know.
This is too much for me.
I need a break.
Atleast I got my phone and spare pc. by @mtbboy1993

On my grocery getter I got TRP Spyke, I eor eout another lever, rear brake lever has play in bushings, and squeaking, might be both bushing and rivet but this is a stupid design.
Lube will help for the sound, but not the lever feel, lever is soft now, due to dead throw and play. So far I've not seen anyone rebuild these.

I suspect the best levers to get if you want mechanical Paul Components Clamper
But I'm building a new bike this year, already ordered frame. I will build it with Radic Kaha. by @mtbboy1993

#razerdeathadderv2 rebuild to eliminate creaking, I added few layers or rim tape, it's trash rim tape, but atleast I can use it for something, I added the tape to fill the gaps as the body spread out, it flexed, I could flex and twist the whole mouse. But this reduced it, not perfect yet, but I should add more tape. But it's not horrible anymore.
Shame Razer made the scroll wheel click too sensitive, and they didn't keep the 2 top buttons I use them for Volume up and down. I tried the v3 in the store, then tried one again but wireless version some kind of special edition the guy in the store let me try it, it was impossible to use, way too sensitive click on scroll wheel but fit was superb.
Ibtried several nice my conclusion is I should stick with this one.

New brakes. Radic Kaha.
First impressions:
Super light lever action, almost like there's no seals, fluid.
Bite point adjustment gives a good range. But I like it all the way in for least modulation, as it's plenty of modulation for me, but quick how I like it.
The pads bed in quite quickly, bite well.
The caliper is very stiff, I can't feel nor see any flex. Which I did very noticeably on my previous brakes Formula Cura 4, the caliper twisted, bent, I could feel it, likely around 1-2 mm of movement. This one stays put.
Rebuild should be easy, the pistons have threads, so tool threads in and you pull them out, no need to use a compressor, refill system with fluid to swap each piston seal. This is one of reasons I got them, along with the light action.

These shots was possible due to using a tripod and slow shutter speed.

Rotors:
I think I should try 203mm rotor on the rear as that's the official max on the G1 frame not the 223mm,bjt it's been fine, I'm not a brake punisher. I asked Geometron about adapter issue I had, but they guy that answered didn't say rotor size would be to big, but i forgot about this thing but I wanted to switch and ask Nicolai about it. I will look into it later. It's not really been put through a lot, as I've not ridden as much as super active riders, due to various back, neck issues, being ill a lot especially this year, but also the past 2 years before that. So I suspect it will be fine. But I won't advice eyou to try it anyway.

But the Gam im in the process of ordering, it will be Max 180mm so won't use larger. Got 180mm rotors already on hand but will likely try Brakestuff rotors.

I need to take more pictures by the park at the railway station, but it was too busy lately, early morning would be ideal.

New @Artisscorium strap arrived. But to make it work with the long #Peakdesign bolt I had to use a thin shim (those used on brake mounts and chain guide mounts) under the bolt head and to prevent it from coming loose I had to use a cut #innertube.
Now I can swap batteries easily. 👍

Cush Core Rotary tool.
This should make tyre is talls and removals easier. (ignore the sealant spots on the floor, I actually clean my floors. 😜, jus need to scrub those last dots away, I probably should get some mats to work on to put on the floor to prevent sealant everywhere, but not the Muc Off mats, those suck, they wear out fast. And missing spots that dry)

My current grocery getter setup with #ortliebbackrollerclassic #Ortliebrackpack89L
but the bike has to get retired soon.
I lean towards Nicolai Gam, what do you think? Or should I go full suspension? Pricier, and overkill for grocery getter. But 65 deg head angle I think should be suitable for me. I don't think I will like any steeper.
This thing here is 70deg. It wants me to crash. I got a EXT ERA v2 on the way I scored on a Finn. It's a bit hevay fork, but it will not cre. And I plan on front 4sckdbtoo do overly beefy fork won't hurt. I'm not sure if fs bike makes sense with the massive bag on the rear rack. 🤔
I think I should try Old Man Mountain Impala Lowrider front rack. Have two panniers for light stuff at the front, platform on top should suit packages.
I've not tried experimenting on my G1 with rack setup. But with Old Man Mountain that's doable.
Feel free to share your grocery getter setup. by @mtbboy1993
