So, I got a gifted bike recently, after my old one broke in half, and I thought, well finally, a functional bike that I won't have to fix every two weeks! And I was wrong about that. If anyone knows why are bikes Like That, please let me know. Nothing breaks down as much as bikes do, I am convinced.

Few weeks in, I went to pump the tyre, and the valve that lets the air into the tube, broke immediately, and let all the air out. I was unsure whether this can be fixed or not, and asked any person I could find if they knew a solution, or if I needed to replace the whole tube. I actually had a tube stashed away that I repaired a while ago, so I tried to replace it, but discovered I couldn't even dismantle the bike, I was missing some pliers! While devastated about that, I checked to see if I could take the valve from my repaired tube, and just replace that part, and maybe it would work – and it did. I had to walk to a gas station in order to get the tube filled again, but then it was working, and I was blessed with a few more weeks of excellent bike usage.

Yesterday, I went to fill the tyres again! And in the afternoon, I discovered one of the tyres was flat. I must have ran over a thorn while cycling back home, which is ironic. Every single time I pump the tyres some other shit goes down. But! I had the pliers this time. I found them on the second-hand market. So I was confident I could dismantle the back wheel, replace the tube, and the bike would be functional in like, an hour (it takes half hour to walk to the gas station).

After taking the pieces apart, I noticed there was a metal wire holding the wheel to the bike, and I couldn't pull it out. Bamboozled, I started dismantling the part that was holding the wire, not knowing what that was. The wire led to the front handles, so I assumed it was something stupid, like a brake, and I didn't use brake handles anyway, so I didn't care if that stopped working. The metal pieces the wire was connected to, fell apart, fell to the floor, and I had no idea how to put them back together. But I didn't care about it anyway, so I focused on replacing the tube, putting the wheel back together, and after a bit of struggle, I managed to do it.

Then I looked at the mess of the metal and plastic pieces on the floor, and got nervous. I had to put it back the way it was, or possibly the wheel wouldn't work correctly. I tried to fit the pieces to each other in numerous ways, and they would not fit neatly in any possible way, making me frustrated. It seemed impossible. But then I remembered, my long experience of playing nancy drew games and putting various senseless gears back together. I could do this. I was trained for this. These are just some parts that can and will somehow make sense if I mess around with them long enough. The stakes are higher because this is real life, but this is a puzzle for me! And I am a detective putting it together.

And with this brave thought, I managed to find a way to put the pieces into place. They wouldn't fit together outside the bike, but on the bike, I realized there were metal pieces that could technically accept the fallen-off black pieces, and after a few tries I found a way to make it all fit back together. I screwed it tightly, and then assembled the back wheel once again. There was just, this wire, with a little nut at the end? I didn't know where that went. I couldn't have known. I didn't see where it was before it all fell apart. So I ignored it, I just randomly put it somewhere and hoped the wheel would work. So what if I have no breaks on my handles, it was no issue.

So I walk to the gas station, nervous about my replacement tube, but the tube, does the job! It fills up easily, it's not letting air out, it's stiff and ready to carry me around. I am happy, I am pleased, I am proud, I sit on the bike, and immediately realize what the wire was. It was GEARS. My bike had no gears. I had to pedal it endlessly only for it to barely move. Absolutely mortifying, embarrassing, slow, frustrating and painful experience.

I got home feeling dreadful, and immediately started looking up how to put this thing back together properly, how to attach the damned wire, and found no bike that even resembled the setup that mine had. Bikes had lots of sprockets where the chain could go to change gears! Mine had only one sprocket. At this point I'm wondering how the damned thing even has gears if there's no sprockets, I start to doubt whether it actually had gears or I was just hallucinating this entire time. The internet gaslit me into doubting my own bike experience.  I asked a friend who helped me fix bikes in the past, and they said the little wire and nub were common and were supposed to fit neatly somewhere! Encouraged by this, I typed all possible terms I could find about bike gear types into DuckDuckGO (fuck u google) and after what felt like an hour, finally typed in 'internal gear hub', which is what my bike had! It looks like this: link

So I finally found some videos with instructions on how to put this thing back together, I only watched the part where they attach the wire, and I get back to the bike, to see if I put the pieces back correctly, and if I could insert the wire.

It turned out, I couldn't insert the wire, because for some damned reason, the wire is not long enough to be inserted now. Upset, I figured I probably put the pieces back wrong, and I needed to dismantle them again (no girl don't do that please) and I dissembled the entire wheel once again, in order to fix this. However when I unscrewed all of the parts, I found I couldn’t pull the wheel off the bike, because when the tube is filled, the brakes clutch it so tight it couldn't be pulled out! I was not about to dismantle the brakes, just to fix the gears, that was BULLSHIT, so I tried to pull the wheel just slightly off, just so I could work on the gear pieces. But then I had very poor access, and the gear pieces kept falling apart, not standing still, making me frustrated and upset. In my frustration, I pulled the tyre as strong as I could to yank it off the bike, and the smallest, plastic piece of gear got stuck in that motion and snapped. I BROKE A PIECE OF IT. Now absolutely devastated, I put the bike away, and decided I couldn't keep fixing it with a broken piece, that was a recipe for disaster.

I would superglue that shit back together.

I went back to my room, grabbed a little tube of superglue, immediately got glue on both my hands and legs somehow, and fiddled with the little part until it was somewhat in one piece (and I say this generously, it did NOT look like what it should look like). I checked the clock and it was 11PM which meant I as fixing the bike for 6 hours and it was way past my bedtime. Before I fell asleep, I watched the video on how to fix the wire once more, and this time I caught the line 'put the gears on middle' which, I haven't done, and that's why the damned wire was too short, it didn't need dismantling, I just needed to put the gears on 4 and then I'd be able to attach them. With this thought in mind, I fell asleep.

I woke up 5am sharp and immediately I'm like "can't sleep while bike doesn't work" and I grab the superglued piece and immediately storm off to the bicycle room to work on the bike. I once again, struggle to put the pieces back together, and in all fairness, the superglued piece holds down like it should, and I'm feeling, okay, maybe this can be done. I put the gears in the middle and the wire immediately falls into place easily, FINALLY. Then I find out that while doing all this, I somehow managed to pull the chain over the metal part holding the wheel and it couldn't be pulled back onto the wheel. It's just one thing after the other. I'm going to die fixing this bike, I think to myself, as I undo the wheel ONCE AGAIN, manage to get the chain in correct position, put it on the bike, and finally attach the whole thing back like it should have been attached.

If I had the information about how to undo that wire before trying to fix it, this entire fix would have been extremely easy, I wouldn't have to dismantle the pieces even one time (they should NOT be dismantled in the first place, just wire detached from it), it would be a breeze, but there was literally no way for me to know this. The only way for me to learn about this was for me to dismantle this multiple times and painstakingly put it back together. I could do it in my sleep now, I have this shit down, I can fix any damned wire gear problem, I can superglue it if it breaks.

I drag the bike outside. And it works. The bike freaking works. Gears and all. Superglue held out. Extremely relieved and grateful, I finally get to go to my garden and pick up food for the day. I got green beans! And kale, so much kale. I'm going to have a green bean salad, the easiest thing a person can make with green beans. And maybe later some kale chips.

In conclusion, whoever made the internal gear hub setup on bikes is NOT an ally and I want them to get cancelled for my suffering. Whoever made the superglue has helped me today, even though I don't like glue in general, this one time, it was a friend, it helped me in my time of need, and also that other time when I learned to fix my shoes and glue them back together. Thank you superglue, thank you friend who encouraged me to fix this, thank you bike for working, thank you repaired tube for being a gem, thank you garden for growing green beans for me, and fuck you internal gear hub I never want to see you again (though I know your shit now and you can't defy me anymore).

My bf linked me this article that just dropped today about Bioware's hypothetical vision for a Chronicles sequel and I'm like, lol okay. Bit too late for that, Bioware, but sure.

This is painful to read, even as someone who thinks Chronicles' core concepts weren't all that bad in theory.

Big oofs ahoy.

"Nocturnes." You didn't actually play the game, did you? I can tell.

First the Encyclospeedia's "Precurator Shade," now this.

Collectively, they're called the Nocturnus clan. The individual soldier or unit is a Nocturne (as well as the clan's base of operations seen at the climax of the first game), but the game doesn't pluralize the name as "Nocturnes" with an E.

Research fail.

Also, I find it kind of weird that real-world locations are figuring into Eggman's conquest. Most locations in Chronicles were based on locations in Sonic's world (if they weren't already just those locations wholesale, like Green Hill), such as Blue Ridge being the remains of a post-Chaos Station Square.

So basically just Forces but several years before Forces.

"Terminator future" - ah, yes. Much vision, many wow. I can completely see how much it would suck to be oppressed by Eggman in such a future.

Also, don't you love the Big Bad Monster of the Week usurping Eggman yet again? Except this time it's so omgwtfbbq superspeshul that not even Super Sonic can defeat it, ohhhh noooo whatever shall we doooo, and... Wait, have I heard this somewhere before?

:/ The more things change...

"DYKG also says that Shade and Knuckles will be able to 'continue Knuckles' bloodline.'" - well that's a totally cool and normal thing to say about two characters in a kids' game who so happen to be the same species. not creepy at all

I love the implication here that Bioware were so certain their mega-awesome sequel would be such a hit with Sega and the fans that they believed they would have been able to get away with implementing yet another cliffhanger ending in order to keep pumping out sequels. You gotta love the hubris.

...Argus' motivations make no sense. It's a god, but apparently was so afraid of death at the hands of a mortal that it... trapped the most bloodthirsty races in the universe in the Twilight Cage to let them duke it out for the rest of time... because...? Stay tuned for the answer, ig?

Plus, why is it Bioware couldn't have answered the questions the first game raised in the second game? What would be the point of even making a sequel if that's the case?

This is the exact same problem Valve is having right now with Half-Life: they keep making sequels that end on cliffhangers while postponing the narrative. "Haha we totally have an awesome conclusion in the works, you guys, you just have to be patient ;> (doesn't even have an outline written)."

It could not be more obvious that they don't know how to end the story. Or, perhaps more accurately for Bioware's case, don't care, since apparently "they considered their obligations finished after the first game."

So like... What the hell were they even complaining for when Sega gave Chronicles the axe, then? If another party would have had to make the sequel anyway because Bioware washed their hands of the development process, then it inherently stands to follow that some of Bioware's Artistique Vision would have had to change.

Iizuka has... questionable ideas about the series, so I don't really place as much stock in his creative vision as that of other ST members. No offense.

In all honesty, though, as someone who likes the theoretical ideas underpinning Chronicles and Shade's character, I'm struggling to consider how Shade and Argus would impact the series in any substantial way without radically altering Knuckles' character and role. It's not like they'd have anything to do after Chronicles is over.

For all of this speculation about Argus, who was nothing more than a diablo ex machina only mentioned in passing in the first game, I can't help but notice that, conversely, almost nothing has been said about Shade and her motivations aside from her possible use in perpetuating Knuckles' bloodline, which... I find a little distasteful, to say the least. I mean, it isn't surprising. Whatever character development she could have had while battling alongside Sonic and co. in the first game is overlooked in order to turn her into an exposition fairy.

But, given that Bioware intended for there to be multiple sequels and for Shade to possibly earn a place as a permanent fixture in the cast, I'd at least expect something in the way of character development? Is she connected to Argus in some way? Is Argus the reason her warp belt hasn't yet broken, allowing her to stay on Earth for much longer than she should have? Better yet, how does Shade feel about helping other conquered peoples rise up against Eggman? Does she feel ill-equipped to lead, having served a tyrant for 4,000 years? Does she see similarities between Eggman and Ix, and internally kick herself for being so foolish as to fall for the same trick twice? Does it give her trust issues? Does Knuckles help her work through these issues and overcome her prejudices? Does her character actually matter here in an appropriate context given her circumstances? Does she have any internality of her own, or is she just a convenient sexy lamp means for Knuckles to not be so alone anymore?

So here’s the deal. I’ve got a small block. Two barrel carb. Runs like a dream (read: recently upgraded to “doesn’t sound like a asthmatic raccoon rolling down a flight of stairs in a metal trash can” when you start it up). So naturally I want to throw off the entire equilibrium and mess with the fuel system.

Swapping fuel pumps is fine. Adding a metal fuel filter where the plastic one (imagine a water balloon filled with gasoline sitting directly next to the exhaust headers. Now imagine something less safe than that) sits right now is a good idea. Not what I’m going for. I want Hilborn fuel injection.

Just the name “Hilborn fuel injection” harkens back to a time when people put little beer kegs full of fuel on the front of their Chevy 210s—imagine slapping a water balloon full of gasoline on the bumper of the car you’re currently axle hopping nose-first into a concrete barrier—and called corvettes without carburetors “fuelies,” which is surprisingly not an Australian slur for gas station attendants.

Ignore all the talk about mechanical fuel delivery. I don’t own a diesel and therefore leave that sort of thing to the special breed of freak that owns an Alfa Romeo. All you need to know is that the unhinged assemblies of gears and ball valves required to do what God designed the carburetor for are really just a big excuse to run those shiny chromed intake trumpets on a car.

You know when BMW guys talk about ITBs? Has nothing to do with irritable bowels. It’s 100% an excuse to put intake trumpets on the side of their engine. It looks cool, just not as cool as eight of those trumpets strapped to the top of your V8 hate machine. And I want that. Except I’m lazy, and according to the niche forums I visit tuning mechanical fuel injection is as pleasant as sticking your hand in a rusty toaster when done right and will ensure you get your steps in on the walk home when done wrong.

Could I simply buy a $1500 carburetor replacement electronic fuel injection setup that requires five bolts and about as many brain cells to install? Sure. I could also live my life as a productive member of society. That would involve living a lifestyle where I pay someone to tune the MFI for me. Both of these things a blow to my personal reputation as “the local skinflint” and my personal devotion to making things harder for myself. So rather than shell out for vintage MFI setups, I turned to the world of EFI. Surely the modern fanatics for Fratzogs and Rat Fink memorabilia would have made enough ruckus for to spark a Hilborn EFI lookalike.

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell they only built them for big blocks. My little hot rod’s factory small block is doomed never to host those shiny little intake trumpets. Sure I could swap in a big block, but when I sat this one next to my dilapidated street machine I began to consider the fact that this is a lot of effort for a lowly hot rod. At the heart of things I’m just as lazy as I am determined to make things harder for myself, and so I decided I need to find something else to put the big block in.

What was the question again? Oh, what am I going to do with the rolling chassis Lola T70 replica behind me?

February 9, 1942: The French ocean liner Normandie, docked beside pier 88 in Manhattan, NYC, catches fire while being converted into the troopship USS Lafayette. A pile of highly flammable kapok life preservers were improperly stored near a working acetylene torch in the ship's grand salon, and a stray spark caused a blaze quickly got out of control. The ship's onboard telephone system had been disabled days prior along with most of the ship's advanced fire suppression system, and the sprinkler system was improperly activated at all of its control stations simultaneously, dropping the water pressure within it to useless levels. It took twelve minutes for the NY Fire Department to respond to the emergency, by which time the fire had been fanned by a strong wind to become an inferno sweeping through the Normandie's upper decks, and 2,000 Navy men and civilians working aboard were streaming out of the ship through a limited number of entry points, preventing firefighters from getting aboard the vessel. When they finally could get aboard, they found their hoses incompatible with the firefighting inlets on the French ship, meaning they could only fight the fire from outside the ship.

For several hours firetrucks on land shot water on the Normandie's starboard landside while fireboats poured water onto the Normandie's seaward port side, but the fireboats poured significantly more water into the giant ship than the trucks did, causing an imbalance of water in the ship's upper decks and a dangerous list to port. The Normandie's designer ‎Vladimir Yourkevitch was in NYC, and when he heard his ship was on fire he rushed to the site and begged to be let aboard so he could open the . "I designed the ship!" he said, "I can find my way through it with my eyes closed! I'll open the sea-cocks [valves], the ship's belly will fill with water, the ship will sink six inches and settle on the bottom, and it will be safe!" The Navy administrators at the conversion site were unmoved. "This is a Navy job," they said brusquely.

By evening the fire had been brought under control, but the ship was listing about thirty degrees to its seaward side. Thinking the Normandie no longer in danger, the Navy and Fire Department abandoned the ship for the night, not realizing only the ship's mooring ropes were keeping it from capsizing. In the night the ropes snapped, and the ship rolled over onto its side, wallowing in the mud at the bottom of the river. There the ship lay for eighteen months, no one sure what to do with the wreck.

In August 1943 it was decided to raise the ship and convert it into an aircraft carrier. The superstructure was cut away and then the hull was pumped free of water, and it slowly emerged from the river and returned to an even keel. But it was found the fire had damaged the hull too severely and the ship's machinery had deteriorated too much for the ship to be of further use. The hulk sat idly until the end of the war, when it was decided to scrap it after both the US Navy and the French Line expressed no interest in salvaging the ship. The remains of the Normandie were scrapped in Newark, New Jersey in 1946.

Photo taken by Harry Warnecke for the New York Daily News. It is unclear if this photo is a real color photo or a digital colorization. I found this photo on a Facebook group dedicated to the Normandie claiming the color photo is real. This photo has been published before only in black-and-white, and Getty Images features the photo in B&W, but Getty's version of the photo is slightly cropped on the right edge compared to the color photo (look closely and you'll see the space between the second funnel and the right edge of the photo is wider in the color image), meaning Getty's version of the photo is not necessarily from the original negatives, but could be an early reproduction. Interestingly, Harry Warnecke actually owned a color film studio and took color press photos of celebrities for the NY Daily News during this time period, so it's indeed possible that this is a genuine color photo. If anyone can provide any information one way or the other, I would be quite grateful.

Problem: The hot water heater is out.

Answer: It’s a kerosene heater and it ran out of kerosene.

Mystery: It ran out of kerosene two days early.

First possibility: A leak. After extensive checking, I can be sure it was NOT a leak.

Second possibility: Something is wrong with the flow regulation.

This is highly unlikely, since it has a simple system with a floater and valve. Besides, if the flow had increased wouldn’t the burn have been effected? The flame was low as ever these two weeks. Since dismantling every thing is such a pain, and always damaged the copper line, I don’t want to take it apart if it is unlikely to be the fault.

Third possibility: The gas station I bought the kerosene from didn’t give me the correct amount.

This is actually possible. I have found their pumps a bit iffy. Trouble is I have few options for buying kerosene. Some stores always are out. Another had a pump that leaked like a waterfall out the bottom so there would be a large puddle. One had to shut their pump for repairs they never made. If they are giving me less than I am paying for I still will have to buy from them.

New problem: I will run out of kerosene for the hot water heater several days every months.

See,I now find that 10 gallons WON’T last me a full two weeks to my next shopping trip. The place to buy kerosene is 10 miles away, so I do it when I do all my other shopping.

1st possible solution: Buy three containers worth instead of two.

Impossible. I can’t afford that much. Even if I could, I couldn’t fit another container in the trunk with the animal feed. I’d have to make a special trip to buy more and also buy a third container. I have no extra money at all. As in, none.

2nd possible solution: Buy a full tank at a discount from a fuel service.

Impossible!! I am broke, and can’t spend that kind of crazy money. I literally do not have that much money in the bank. Already the $160 I spend on kerosene a month is so far beyond my means that I had planned to start boiling water for my hot water instead during the summer. (My grandparents and parents could do this. They also had a hell of a lot more money than me!)

3rd possible solution: Buy an electric hot water heater.

Impossible!!! I can’t afford to replace the earbuds I broke today, so can I afford that sort of equipment? I’d have to install it myself, and also hope it never breaks because I can afford to repair or replace things in general. All the useless high-teching of basic crap like water heaters just gives it more ways to break.

***sigh***

This hot water heater is so damn reliable it has been running for around 70 years, which is lovely and awful all at once. Lovely in that I can fix it myself. Awful in that none of us over the years could ever stand the thought of replacing it because it worked well.

And now I am stuck with an archaic water heater running on polluting fossil fuel I can’t afford to buy while I hit rock bottom financially and everything else in my life is crumbling.

Some people when their lives become a painful, emotional disaster can take comfort in having a reliable home. They have a roof and solid floors and heating and electricity and high speed internet and hot and cold running water…. And then there is me.

Oh well, at least I have PLENTY of distractions when I’m on the verge of a breakdown.

Tyre Pressure Guide for Ford Fiesta: How to Ensure Optimal Performance

Keeping the right tyre pressure in your Ford Fiesta is one of the simplest ways to keep it running safely and smoothly. But how do you know if your tyres have the right amount of air? And why does it matter so much? Let’s dive into it!

Why Tyre Pressure Matters

Did you know that tyre pressure affects everything from fuel efficiency to handling? Low tyre pressure can make your car harder to steer and cause more wear and tear on the tyres, meaning you’ll need to replace them sooner. On the other hand, tyres that are overinflated can lead to a bumpy ride and reduce the grip your car has on the road. Finding the perfect balance keeps your Fiesta performing at its best!

What’s the Right Tyre Pressure for a Ford Fiesta?

For most Ford Fiestas, the recommended tyre pressure is around 30-32 PSI (pounds per square inch) for front tyres and 26-30 PSI for rear tyres. However, it can vary slightly based on the year and model, so it’s always a good idea to double-check your owner’s manual or look at the sticker inside the driver’s door. Not sure where to find it? The friendly folks at TPMS Warehouse have a great range of tyre pressure monitoring tools to help keep an eye on your tyre pressure.

How to Check and Adjust Your Tyre Pressure

Checking tyre pressure is easy and only takes a few minutes. Here’s what you’ll need:

1. A tyre pressure gauge (often found at petrol stations or available to buy online)

2. An air pump if adjustments are needed

Start by unscrewing the cap from the tyre’s valve stem, then press the gauge onto the valve. You’ll get a reading on the gauge, which you can compare to the recommended PSI for your Fiesta. If the pressure is too low, add a little air. If it’s too high, release a bit. And remember—always check tyre pressure when the tyres are cold, as heat can cause inaccurate readings.

Keep Your Tyres in Top Shape with TPMS Warehouse

Want to make sure your tyres stay in peak condition without constantly checking? TPMS Warehouse offers a variety of tyre pressure monitoring systems specifically designed for Ford models. These devices can alert you if a tyre’s pressure drops, saving you the trouble of manual checks and giving you peace of mind on the road.

Quick Tips for Tyre Care

- Check monthly: Tyres naturally lose air over time, so give them a quick check each month.

- Rotate tyres: Rotating your tyres every 6,000-8,000 miles helps them wear evenly.

- Stay aware of seasonal changes: Colder weather can cause tyre pressure to drop, so be ready to add a bit of air when the temperatures dip.

Keeping your Ford Fiesta’s tyres at the right pressure is easy and makes a big difference to your car’s safety and performance. So why not give your tyres a quick check today? And if you need any tools or tyre pressure monitors, head over to TPMS Warehouse for some great options. Happy driving!

The Complete Guide To Safely Inflate Your Car Tyres

Inflating your car tyres is an important part of car maintenance, to improve fuel efficiency and the longevity of your tyres. Understanding the nuances of their inflation, including the impact of under-inflation and the correct techniques is important.

In this blog post, we are going to discuss how you can safely inflate your Continental Tyres. We also talk about the effects of not maintaining correct tyre pressure. If you are interested in knowing more about tyre pressure then keep reading.

How To Inflate Car Tyres?

The first thing you need to know is the correct tyre pressure for your Vehicle. This information is usually mentioned in the car’s manual, on a sticker inside the driver’s door, or on the fuel cap of the car.

How To Inflate Tyres At The Petrol Station?

Most of the petrol stations in the UK provide air compressors for public use. Few of these stations charge a small fee to fill the air in your tyres for example 50p for 5 minutes.

Ensure you park your car close to the air-filling pump so that the hose can easily reach all four tyres of your vehicle.

Remove the caps from the tyre valves. Keep them in a safe place so that you won’t lose them.

Most petrol stations have a  for checking air pressure near the air-filling pump.

Join the air pump’s nozzle to the tyre’s valve stem. The machine will monitor the current pressure in your tyres.

You need to set the pump to the recommended PSI for your tyres. Join the nozzle firmly to the valve stem and start the machine. It will then start to inflate the tyre to the set air pressure. Ensure to monitor the screen as some pumps may not stop at the desired PSI automatically so you need to manually stop them.

After you fill the air in the tyres, put the valves back on.

How To Inflate Tyres At Home?

You can inflate your tyres at home, you just need a few tools to do that. Ensure you have a tyre pressure gauge and an air compressor or a tyre inflator. Nowadays tyre inflators come in compact sizes and even run off a 12V outlet.

During winter you should regularly check your tyre pressure, ideally in the morning after the car has been parked overnight.

Remove the cap from the tyre valve and join the pressure gauge to the valve to know the current pressure.

Remove the pressure gauge and connect the air compressor or tyre inflator hose to the valve.

Initially inflate the tyre in short bursts and frequently check the pressure until you reach the recommended PSI. If the pressure is above the recommended pressure, release some air to reach the desired level.

After filling the air attach the valve cap securely.

How Under-Inflated Tyres Affect Your Vehicle?

Having under-inflated tyres can have many negative effects on your vehicle:

Increased Wear: If the tyre is underinflated, it increases rolling resistance and is responsible for premature and uneven wear.

Reduced Fuel Efficiency: If your tyres are underinflated, it can increase rolling resistance which requires more fuel consumption.

Safety Risks: Using under-inflated tyres for long periods can overheating resulting in blowouts.

Compromised Handling and Braking: Under-inflation can impact the tyre's ability to grip the road, reducing braking and handling efficiency.

Can You Inflate Tyres When Warm?

Yes, you can but you need to pay attention to tyre pressure level. Tyre pressure increases as the tyre starts warming up from driving, so the pressure reading will be higher compared to the tyre was cold. If you inflate a warn tyre, we recommend you fill it to a pressure above 4 to 5 psi to their recommended cold pressure.

Recheck the tyre and adjust the pressure when the tyre has cooled down. You need to avoid deflating a warm tyre as it can wear faster.

How To Inflate A Flat Tyre Safely?

Inflating a flat tyre needs more caution than inflating a tyre with less air:

Check for any visible signs of damage in the tyre. If you find any major damages, you should replace your tyres.

If you don’t find any visible damage, inflate the tyre slowly and keep an eye out for any signs of failure.

Once your tyre is inflated, check for slow leaks or hear any sound for leakage. Visit a tyre specialist as soon as possible for a thorough inspection of your tyres.

Why My Tyre Is Not Inflating?

There are some reasons your tyre may not inflate:

Punctures or Tears: Tyres with small punctures or tears can be difficult to spot but can stop the tyre from holding air.

Valve Stem Issues: Your tyres are damaged or clogged valve stems stop air from entering the tyre.

Bead Seal Problems: The seal between the rim and the tyre could be broken resulting in leaking air.

Damage to the Wheel: If your car wheel is bent or damaged, it can result in the tyre stopping inflation.

By regularly checking your tyres you can maintain the life of the tyres. Check proper inflation and look for any signs of damage as it can save you from mishaps. By understanding the correct steps and being aware of potential problems, you can ensure your Cheap Tyres Milton Keynes remain in good condition.

Ball Valve FAQ: Everything You Need to Know

Ball valves are indispensable components in various industrial applications, offering reliable fluid control and shut-off capabilities. Here's a comprehensive guide to frequently asked questions about ball valves, tailored for professionals across industries.

What is a ball valve, and how does it work?

A ball valve is a type of quarter-turn valve that uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control the flow of fluids. When the handle is turned 90 degrees, the ball's bore aligns with the flow path, allowing fluid to pass through, or it blocks the flow when turned perpendicular.

What are the main advantages of using ball valves?

Ball valves offer several advantages, including:

Quick and easy operation with a quarter-turn handle. Excellent sealing capabilities, ensuring leak-proof performance. Minimal pressure drop across the valve, enhancing efficiency. Versatility to handle a wide range of fluids, including corrosive and abrasive media.

In which industrial applications are ball valves commonly used?

Ball valves find extensive use across various industries, including:

Oil and gas: Pipeline control, wellheads, and refining processes. Petrochemical: Chemical processing, gas distribution, and storage. Water and wastewater: Treatment plants, distribution networks, and pumping stations. Power generation: Boiler systems, cooling towers, and steam lines. Pharmaceuticals: Process control, sterile environments, and cleanroom applications.

What types of ball valves are available, and how do they differ?

There are several types of ball valves, including:

Floating ball valves: The ball is free to move within the valve body, allowing it to seat against the downstream seal under pressure. Trunnion-mounted ball valves: The ball is supported by trunnions to handle higher pressure and larger sizes. Multi-port ball valves: Designed with multiple ports for diverting, mixing, or isolating flows in complex systems. V-port ball valves: Featuring a V-shaped ball orifice for precise flow control in throttling applications.

How can I select the right ball valve for my application?

Choosing the appropriate ball valve depends on factors such as fluid type, pressure, temperature, flow rate, and environmental conditions. Consulting with a knowledgeable supplier or engineer can help ensure the selection of the most suitable valve for your specific needs.

What maintenance is required for ball valves?

Ball valves generally require minimal maintenance due to their robust design. Periodic inspection for leaks, corrosion, and proper operation is recommended. Lubricating the valve stem and replacing seals as needed will help ensure long-term reliability.

In Conclusion

Ball valves are essential components in industrial fluid control systems, offering efficiency, reliability, and versatility across various applications. Understanding their features, types, and proper selection criteria is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and system integrity in diverse industrial settings.
