PPE for cycling

Intro

• Everyone needs to use PPE in their work
• Using rotary motors means the upper PPE needs to be long sleeved
• the ears need earmuffs with NNR from -12dB to -24dB (or more)
• sparking environments need fire proof ppe
• eyes need ANSI Z87 glasses as protection (no exeptions!)
• faces need ANZI Z87 face shields

Cycling needs heavy PPE

• all types of cycling require PPE
• helmets designed for cyling (jet style motorcyle helmets are of course much better)
• UV protective PPE glasses, if needed with dioptre correction
• ears need to be unobstructed at ALL times!
• no earbuds
• definately NO HEADPHONES
• ear obstructions drop your hearing sensitivity with more than 48 dB, meaning you hear -48dB of surrounding ENV, which can be deadly. Every day people get into traffic mishaps due to this stupidity
• chest needs sweat wicking PPE, designed for cyling MTB, race, timetrial can use the gear interchangeably
• torso needs long sleeved cycling PPE
• legs need bibs which go all the way up to the chest as first layer of heat regulation
• at least three layers of torso PPE are required, using less means getting scrapes to serious wounds when a fall is broken properly.
• imporperly broken falls mean contusions ligaments and or bone damage, which are prevented with basic Judo lessons, up to the yellow band
• in Judo you learn not to fear the fall, even at high speeds
• I've had a Sensei who threw me more than 4 meters in the air, with me running towards him at full speed, to break falls as they would occur in high speed situations
• feet need cycling shoes
• pedals should be designed for cycling style and used with shoes matching.
• if pedal straps systems are used those need inspection for wear and tear
• SPD pedals & shoes work great for me on all cycling platforms I ride in
• cleats need to be maintained, cleatnuts need greasing and proper torque
• cleatnuts need to be regularly de torqued then retorqued to detect oxidation lockups, otherwise the breaking torque will be so high the nut will need forceful removal with a power drill and heavy mechanical skills

inspect the race machine before riding and give tires proper ammounts of bar in air pressure

• grease the chain after wiping it of dirt from the last ride
• dirt has silica and other contaminants which work like grinding paste on chain lins
• take time before riding

Use common sense!

In the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand it’s called a spanner; in the USA it’s called a wrench. 10 facts about spanners.

Do Expensive Filaments Make 3D Printed Wrenches Better?

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://hackaday.com/2026/01/30/do-expensive-filaments-make-3d-printed-wrenches-better/

Last year when I was struggling with cars breaking down at the start of winter, I swore I'd get myself an impact wrench next time I'd have to do this.

So luckily I did get this just before and it was indeed extremely helpful in getting crusty old bolts out, plus taking a wheel off and back on again is so much faster now.

The manufacturer claims it does 1200 Nm at maximum setting, some YT reviewer who did measure and compare them arrived at 1000 Nm, but whichever it is, it is enough to bust old soviet sockets to pieces 😆

It has the same really nice "halo" light as the smaller impact driver, three speed settings, a stop-when-nut-is-loose mode and a nutbusting mode for maximum opening torque.

For size comparison, that's a 46 mm socket.
