Shimano vs SRAM

Takúto otázku by som si položil, keby som si šiel kupovať nový bicykel podľa svojich predstáv. Nič také nehrozí, ale aj tak ma zaujímal hlavný rozdiel. Doteraz som jazdil a jazdím len na prevodoch od Shimana. Viacmenej som ani nikdy neuvažoval o inej sade. Odjakživa som považoval bicykle s Deore a vyššou sadou za čosi, na čom sa dá už poriadne jazdiť. Veď aj na mojom Altuse sa dá, ale je to trocha iná kategória. Stačila mi jedna jazda s Alivio-m, aby som vedel, že Altus je určený na jazdu do obchodu a späť.

Americká firma SRAM má okrem prevodových systémov pod sebou už aj Rock Shox, Avid, Truvativ. Skoro celý bicykel pod jednou značkou. Prednosťou SRAM-u je vraj pomer 1:1, čo znamená o koľko posuneme riadiacu páčku, o toľko sa posunie prehadzovač (napr.). Shimano používa pomer 2:1. Pomer 1:1 je vraj odolnejší a stálejší, pretože je jednoduchší. SRAM použil ako prvý grip shift, čo mne lezie na nervy. Takých ale bolo viacej, tak začal vyrábať aj páčky Attack. Veľa sa diskutuje o pevnosti zadného prehadzovača pri kazete. Ako sa správajú obidva systémy pri zjazde je dobre vidieť na tomto videu:



Tento problém u Shimana by mal byť vyriešený v sade 08. Tiež je otázne, či je na bicykli dobre napnutá reťaz. Celkovo sa dá povedať, že otázka výberu je len otázka vkusu. Veľmi rád by som si SRAM vyskúšal a porovnal s ekvivalentým systémom od Shimana. Jednotlivé časti sa vraj dajú kombinovať, ale to by som veľmi neriskoval.

Yamaha S08 - sticky keys repair

My keyboard Yamaha S08  suffered from several "sticky keys" disease already a year, perhaps more. That saying, I am pretty bad piano player. However, I like to have my devices fully functional for any cases. I have found a very helpful guide , but with no photos. I made some for better visualization of the repair. First, I unfastened all screws from both sides: Second, I unfastened all screws from a wooden base plate which were holding the part with electronics. Then I unfastened the golden screws holding the whole keyboard to the wood. The keyboard was now accessible from both sides. The last step is described in the following video. It was just removing the sticky keys and reinserting them without a metal spring coming inside. The end of the metal spring has been left outside of the key: So far it works well!

Windows 7 RC Ultimate on HP Compaq nx6110

I have never tried Vista on my laptop, because it is well suited for WinXP and I don't like Vista. But what if you can download the new Win 7 RC for free? I'm using Windows XP since I have bought my old laptop HP Compaq nx6110 (1,4 Ghz Celeron M, 768 MB RAM). WinXP runs on this laptop really fast and smoothly, but I have turned every "eyecandy" off and it looks like old Win95 now. But I like this neutral look. Last week I was closed in my room for two days installing and trying different Linux distributions. After this time I ended with Arch Linux installed on my hard drive - system was stable and either WiFi worked well. Then I realized, that I have spent so much time and done nothing useful. So I decided to work with WinXP and don't bother with other OS (like 2 weeks with Mac OS X a month ago). But NO. Incidentally I got to this website and started immediately download the iso image. The download process ran in Java and I had download speed about 800 KB/s, tha

Our Wedding

“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”  When Harry Met Sally... (1989) In the midst of a global pandemic, when the future was so uncertain, we knew that it wouldn’t be a traditional wedding.  Our wedding planning all started months ago in our small Upper West Side studio apartment. We began planning our wedding together the day after we got engaged (but if you know anything about Mia, you would know that she had really been planning her wedding day since she was a little girl). Without all the answers and with a lot of moments of “wait..., what!?”, we began planning the day that would mark the beginning of our lives together. And like in the movie quote, we both agreed that we wanted that day to start as soon as possible, before the situation with COVID-19 in New York, and in the world, got worse. Truth be told, the process was anything other than what we expected wedding planning would look
