Ein Wald vor der Türe ist das, was ich zuhause vermisse. 6 km-Morgenspaziergang um 5:40 Uhr, umgeben von ganz viel Vogelgezwitscher und frischer Luft.

Vier Tage bin ich beim Kalligraphie-Anfängerkurs im evangelischen Kloster Kirchberg. Als ersten Übungstext versuchte ich mich an unseren Trausprüchen. Geschrieben in der Unziale mit der Bandzugfeder, 3 mm und 1,5 mm.

Welches laut schnaufende Tier in kleiner Hundegröße klettert hier den Baum im Wald hoch?

edit: *** ein Baummarder soll es sein ***

30 Grad, es sommert etwas. Aber das Seminarhaus und der alte Übernachtungstrakt sind noch kühl. Der Tagungsraum hingegen ...

5:50 raus zum Joggen, eine gute Stunde wurde es in dem recht hügeligen Gelände - 120 Höhenmeter, ging nur mit längeren Geheinheiten als gewöhnlich. Aber der Puls blieb trotzdem oben …
Damit habe ich mein Bewegungssoll erfüllt, wenn es gleich mit dem Kalligraphie-Einsteigerseminar weitergeht. Wir lernen die relativ einfache Unziale, die nur Großbuchstaben kennt.

Protip: when replacing a wheel after a tyre or tube change, align the tyre so that the pressure info is above the valve. If you're getting someone else to work on your tyre or tube, ask them to do this!

It seems so obvious, but it's not standard practice. It just makes it so easier to find the recommended pressure when someone brings their bike in for an air top up.

Happy news, I often struggle with the narrow tyres, like the 25cs or Marathon Pluses, and usually need my boss to help, but I did several tube replacements yesterday without help!

Jenny de la Torre setzte sich als Ärztin für die Obdachlosen Berlins ein. Nun ist die Medizinerin gestorben. 👉 https://taz.de/Jenny-de-la-Torre-gestorben/!6093763/

Der Einsteigerkurs Kalligraphie ist sehr entschleunigend. Ich glaube, das tut mir gut …
(auch wenn dafür gestern Zuhause noch volles Programm war mit teilweise vorgearbeiteten Wochenendaufgaben)

Es scheint, dass das Gäste-WLAN im Tagungshaus das private VPN blockiert. Und Mobilfunk klappt nur an wenigen Stellen. Also mal „ohne“ in große weltweite Netz …

Btw I didn't come up with idea this myself. I'm not that bright. My boss told me to do it once and I was like 💡 wow! That's such a good idea!

Because in my previous job, we'd always be having to pump up people's tyres and waste time rotating the wheel to find the pressure, especially where the info had worn down or it was one of those silly manufacturers who only puts it on one side. Whereas this way, just look for the valve and it's right there!

@SilverArrows
Totally agree on the idea of placing pressure info near the valve, but the bike mechanics teachers told us to put the brand name instead. Only for "esthetic" reasons...

@SilverArrows I suppose this can work, but standard practice for most bicycle shops is to align the tire manufacturer's info with the valve stem. Makes it very easy to track down where in the tire a puncture might be, based on where the leak in the tube is.

Silver Arrows May 4

@bgarfoot I've never heard that technique. I suppose it might be useful, but I've never had to use that. I just keep the rim upright when removing the tube, and make sure not to flip the tube after adding a bit of air, nor rotate the tyre, so it's easy to see whereabout in the tyre the puncture happened. It's worked for me. My boss likes to take both the tube and tyre off together to pinpoint exactly where the puncture happened, but that's just extra steps.

@SilverArrows also makes it a lot easier to match up hole in the inner and hole in the outer. I line up the logo with the valve.

Aaaand add a coloured valve cap!

I usually have to use a flashlight to read the black embossed on black, same thing for rotation direction indicator.

Silver Arrows May 4

@the5thColumnist some tyre manufacturers have to be silly and only write it on one side of the rim.

@SilverArrows actually a great idea. Better than having the logo at the valve. We need to have this as standard.

@sphericalcyclist strangely enough, we had someone bring it their own inner tube today, and on the back instructions, it showed the tyre aligned with the pressure info above the valve!

@SilverArrows pas mal ! D'habitude je mets la marque du pneu pour retrouver facilement une crevaison. Aligner avec la marque de pression ça fait double emploi 😊

@SilverArrows @tsadiq you can also write it near your pump if you wear. glasses :)

Silver Arrows 1d ago

@aaaabbbb tbh if you're pumping your own bike, you probably already know the pressure. This is more useful for mechanics, as we're always having to pump up tyres. It saves us having to look around for the pressure, especially on tyres where the the pressure info has faded or worn down.

@SilverArrows latest air tubes don't lose a lot of air... so you can forget the exact number and ... PANG ! ^^

@SilverArrows What a brillant idea!

Pour les francophones, le montage du pneu avec la préconisation de pression juste en face de la valve, c'est vraiment trop pratique.

@SilverArrows Narrow tires suck ass (when it comes to maintenance)

The other week I was sorting out old bike tires for recycling and the ones that were a pain in the butt to deal with were narrow racing tires >.<

Disassembling like 4 of those felt about as rough as taking apart 20 run-o-the-mill bike tires lol
