Here it is.
Of course the result would improve just by filing those edges and then polishing to mirror... That will happen some other day.

The process is quiet simple. Instead of filing the wrench (which is made from a chrome-vanadium alloy and then rather hard) I decided to do two cuts. I'll show you the final result.

Making a 16mm cone key for tightening the cones of the rear wheel of my .
Instead of buying a default cone key from the bike shop I rather make it myself from a standard wrench. Why? Because bike tools are made from poor quality materials and expensive.

If you're hearing a lot about the fediverse these days, you should know: Mastodon is not the whole fediverse and the fediverse is not simply a Twitter replacement. The fediverse is an entire ecosystem, built on something called ActivityPub. Learn more: eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/leav

A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.

It is EXTREMELY URGENT that government agencies, emergency groups, and others who have over time become dependent on #Twitter to disseminate important announcements to the public, now move quickly to prepare alternative methods (which they really should have already).

It is clear that Musk's behavior is decimating Twitter as a reliable platform for reaching the public without interference, and since Musk now says he will let all hate speech and disinformation that is "not illegal or spam" be propagated on Twitter, even from previously suspended accounts, Twitter will now rapidly become of zero value as a source of trustworthy information on any topics.

DO NOT DELAY!

Estoy muy contento con el resultado. Sobretodo por ser la primera vez que me enfrento a una reparación de este tipo.
Me hizo mucha ilusión devolver a la vida una bicicleta que ha tenido un uso de 10000km/año durante largo tiempo.

Finalmente limé todos los defectos de soldadura de los alrededores y rellené con varilla de acero con bajo contenido en carbono usando el . Poca intensidad y enfriando lentamente para evitar endurecimientos.

La bicicleta había sido soldada con latón y plata originalmente, como se observa en la anterior foto. Por lo tanto opté por rellenar ese hueco de una aleación parecida con alto contenido en plata (30%).
Posteriormente apliqué un recocido con el soplete en la zona afectada calentando hasta los 350ºC y enfriando lentamente con llama de menor intensidad hasta llegar por debajo de los 150º.

El resultado final fue este:

Efectivamente, además de haber endurecido el cuadro en ese punto (y por lo tanto menos flexible y más frágil) el interior estaba lleno de poros y fisuras en proceso de agrandarse hasta romper...
Seguí limando hasta eliminar todas estas imperfecciones. Tuve que llegar a este punto (en realidad un poco más, pero olvidé tomar foto):

El otro día tuve la oportunidad de reparar un cuadro de los 90.
Resulta que ya había sido reparado en otra ocasión (rotura de la vaina) pero según el usuario seguía "crujiendo".
La primera sospecha se hizo evidente tras ver que la zona reparada era extremadamente dura: la habían soldado con electrodo revestido...
En seguida me puse a limar para ver qué había dentro, y para mi sorpresa encontré esto:

25 DE NOVIEMBRE: DÍA INTERNACIONAL DE LA ELIMINACIÓN DE LA VIOLENCIA CONTRA LA MUJER

1.2mm plate.
Firstable I add a bit of metal on the edge. I use 150Hz pulse frequency, 20A background current, 35A peak current.
Then I change to 49A peak current to fill in that hole.
I'd like to improve the result.

Tras unas semanas de lluvias.
Es hora de desmontar y limpiar a fondo. No quisiera desgastar toda la transmisión con tanto abrasivo rondando por ahí...

Once the rainy days are over this is the result...
Disassembling and cleaning time. I wouldn't like the whole drive train to be trashed. Too much abrasives around.




Cuando leo a Vitrubio no dejo de pensar en que la arquitectura es una profesión extinguida.
Luego lo reafirmo cada vez que salgo a la calle.

Every time I read Vitrubio's First Book I cannot stop thinking that Architecture is an extinguished profession.
It happens the same when I walk the streets.

It takes time to unlearn #Twitter and learn #Mastodon and the #Fediverse. Don't give up after only a few days or even a couple weeks. Things are intentionally different here. Don't see content you want to see? Share more of the content you want to see - and use hashtags so people with similar interests can find you. We're building communities for the sake of community, not for the sake of filling a company's coffers. It takes patience and effort.
