I've been trying to figure this one out for a while and haven't pinned down the actual cause yet. This is what I know so far. 1. I have a brand new battery so I know it's not that. 2. I checked the bike voltage while running so I know that the stator ... more »

Can someone explain how this scam would work? How do you sell something you don't have? Request a wire payment before even seeing it?

Started new thread Has anyone ever recovered their stolen bike? If so, how was it found? 10/10/2019 12:06 PM

I'm an EE that works in software but if I were to do it again, I would want to go the PE route. I almost went to get a Masters in PE during the recession but then the price of oil plummeted and passed on it. How is it working as a PE these days?

I'm using 1/4 inch staples, the same size as I pulled out of the seat. I've tried a hand stapler and then went out and bought a power stapler and both can't drive the staple into the plastic. Is a pneumatic stapler the only kind that is powerful enough
