What did you accomplish today?

I don't think I've tried kumquat

I'm not a fan.

I used them in a shredder that was capable of 50000 lbs of torque, opposing rotations of the shafts would cause one end bolt to loosen while the other would like to tighten and snap off. they are expensive (for a washer) but well worth it!

So they probably have them for different pitch and thread count then. Interesting.

It said possibly with a Mandarin orange.

Mandarin/Kumquat

I've had them my whole life and never knew that. I don't think I've tried kumquat, either... Learned something today.

If you are native you probably have a name different than kumquat

I see they have multiple names. On a mission to try this now.

Based on what I've read you'll probably like kumquats too since you like these. I have a kumquat, was in a container for 10 yrs then it began dying so I planted it next to my porch to give it a chance. Didn't do much but didn't die then after 2 yrs it started growing again. It's much more cold hardy than lemons or limes.

Ask for them by name.

Found this for an explanation.

Great idea! I had seen these but never knew their name. Seems ideal for an ebike! Maybe in conjunction with the torque arm!

Citrus is pretty relentless.

We did this on our dirt and street bikes on problem fasteners and our grips. It works but those washers are pretty cool. And you don't have to figure this out.

Damn, it did turn in to an adventure!!
Thats a real common problem, the axle nuts coming loose on e-bikes, from the torque. They make an inexpensive "torque arm" for bikes...Noe sure if it would work on a scooter, but probably. The other thing you can do is add some Loctite to the threads.

when we were building our trikes I added torque arms to our front forks to keep the front hub motor from falling off, from the torque...

Not threaded but available in different diameters, both metric & fractional.
My money says the e-bikes will take the metric version.

Blue Locktite works great, is cheap and fits all diameters/thread forms.
fwiw

I like being pain-free.
What kind of pain, and do you find a strain that works especially well?

Cervical, lumbar, thoracic pain, from a failed C-4, C-5 fusion. GG 4, Platinum OG, Super Sour Diesel are my go to favorites (helps thc levels are above 27%-34%). I really love hash for pain, but it’s pricey ou in Cali. I don’t think you can ever go wrong with hash for pain.

Picked up the wife from work. Amazing how fast fitness goes away.

Blue works for most little things. I mostly use red + activator. And a special rubberized black for special things

Oh my. That is a cross to bear. Glad to hear something helps.

I should have added:
Use some brake or carb cleaner to wash off any gunk in the threads as necessary & even blow it off w/ compressed air - the locktite will work much better.
