brake pad treatment 2

the observation that the rubber treatment grately enhances pad and rim
life is empirical over the time from the first brake prep post with a
set of ancient salmon rubber pads from a water pipe schwinn of
deliberately unknown vintage and a set of salvaged dia-compe standards.
also coming after i bought a supply of kool-stops.

the effectiveness of this stuff may alter pad design!
A)the pad holds the rubber treatment surface. pad and the rubber prep
and the rim and the rubber prep contact and turn motion into heat
rather than...B)
you get the idea.
the pad design for A) may not be and probabbbley isn't the design for
application B)
start your pencils!

Rainey?
I enjoy Ma Rainey's recordings, too. I even own a few of her
78 records, with no way to play them.

Dear Andrew,

You can probably put a sign up at your shop about wanting to
get your 78 rpm records copied to CD's and have a customer
leaning over your counter with an interesting proposal
within a week, possibly bartering the conversion for a nice
wheel.

Unless you're fond of computer fuss, I don't recommend doing
it yourself, but it's not actually that hard to scare up a
multi-speed turntable, connect things, and use any of
various programs to convert records to CD's. It's how I
became the only boy on my block with several Vivaldi
concertos that haven't been recorded in the CD era.

Or you can look into some music sites and see if $10 and
shipping will get you a CD re-release of the records that
you wish that you could play--just google for "Ma Rainey".

and to listen to the lone rims' whine?

I've been transferring a lot of my own 78's (I've got hundreds of
'em...my tastes run more toward Koussevitzky though.)

I've got a good Dual turntable dedicated to this, one with an adjustable
center spindle so I can reduce the wow that results from eccentric
pressings.

However, there's a way around the 78 rpm turntable issue. The software
for digitizing audio (I use Felt Tip Sound Studio) commonly permits
"rescanning" sound files do different bit rates. This would let you
copy a 78 on a 33 1/3 turntable, then do the speed conversion in your
computer.

Ideally, you'd want a fatter stylus for this (I use a Pickering) but as
I understand it it works OK even with a "microgroove" stylus.

Haven't actually tried this myself.

sheeeet!
looks like the bridge is out...

given the whoooooha on disc brakes-

the redesigned pad specific for rubber belt dressing compounds
offers the opportuneity to "systemitize" both elements that is belt
compound and pad and golly gee the rim itself!
BRAKELINE!\
cheaper than disks!

Ideally, one would hire Ward Marston to make the transfers.

Marston? does he work for Johnson and Johnson, Jensen, or Finish Loan?

difficult to come up with an original idea. but in relative isolation
for bike stuff-never racing or touring with a group-one would groove on
the idea that creative riders are out there carving away on their pads,
filling the grooves with various goat dungs, and getting thrown to the
ground at the very thought of actuating the expletive deleted brakes!

wait one! nasa duct! no quackery there. then there's the other na?a.
off course, the groove's open end opens to the pads trailing edge but
the shape, the reservoir, the... aaaaagh!!

goodyears' gift to shimano's deray factory-the modern rain grooved
tire-stop now and listen to it scream by-was extensively computer
modeled.

now for the hose...

is this race illegal?
