What is it about MC Wheels and Tires

[ST1100Y]

For grins, try the 'Highway 232' video and see if it plays for you.

That'll work, postage stamp size though...
All Alaska vids work, only the UK and Zeeland ones won't... must be some BREXIT thing...

Thanks - that's what I am seeing on machine and haven't figured out why.
As I said, the HTML code is exactly the same for all of the webpages and the videos should be same format.
Yeah, they are only 320X240 so on a small device they would appear postage stamp size.

ya-think?




Zis is standard laptop; at the office I've a wide gaming-screen (ideal to view building blueprints), guess I wouldn't even find it there...

Andrew - Did the 'Up Hardknott Pass' video play okay for you?

On my Android tablet using Edge yes. Using Firefox audio only.
On my laptop running Windows 10 the videos don't play using either Edge or Firefox, audio only.

Thanks!
It's a strange issue that I am still trying to figure out.
What puzzles me as I said, some work and some don't and they all have identical HTML.
At one time they all worked which makes it even more confusing.
I guess there is some sort of 'difference' between the videos themselves though they were all created with the same tools.

Come on now - that's a lot bigger that postage stamp size - at least compared to US stamps.
Just get you some magnifying glasses or binoculars ...
A lot of sugar for a nickel but if you right click on the video you can open it in another tab and it will let you go full screen.
I don't know why it will not let you go full screen by clicking on the icon on the page as it is.
Ah, technology - nice when it works until it doesn't!

 

[Uncle Phil]

My forehead is flat from banging it against the desktop but I finally figured it out.
Please check and see if you can play the 'UP TO HARDKNOTT PASS' video (though you may not be able to see it well! )
It appears that my video producing software decided to swap codecs somewhere along the update trail.
Once I found a piece of software that showed me what a video's codec was, I could compare one that worked with one that didn't.
Then I had to convert it to the 'currently acceptable' codec.
It now works on my desktop Edge and I would be curious if it works on your's before I convert the other 'problem' children.

does not go to full screen for me

Try refreshing your screen just for grins.
Try the highway 232 video and then the hardknott video.
When the tab opens you have to click on the 'full screen' icon.

 

[DeanR]

Both seem ok now. But can't make em big .. I don't see a full screen icon.

You have to have 'SHOW ALL TOOLS CHECKED' then you see a little 'square' sort of icon on the 'PLAY/STOP' bar at the bottom of the video.
But for some reason it only works if you open the video in its own tab by right clicking on it.

 

[ChriSTian_64]

Homemade tool Larry ?
Geee... Even with that... you have to be carefull.
Yeah I know... You're an artist.

 

[Igofar]

Can't take credit for this one, just a cool idea of folks who think outside the box.

TA-DAHHH!
Yep, that's the "road"...
As printed in the Travel Guide: a pleasant adventure for hub dampers, suspension, wheels and kidney-stones...
(probably your dental-fillings too...)

(though you may not be able to see it well! )

errrr... no, we don't... VHS mode, probably 640x400, milky, like through a vail... full-screen won't help that at all
And: I was taught to walk faster if I hear banjos...

I love all the signs that basically say 'YOU'RE GONNA DIE IF YOU TAKE THIS ROAD'.
I can say it was a bit of trick to nurse a ST1300 up and down it - especially those 3 hairpins going up.
I didn't find Wrynose that big of a deal after HardKnott.

I’ll post a picture since the browser says not secure. He’s so busy it doesn’t matter. I’ve had some work done by Rhon at frame straight system.

Woody’s is great. A buddy has had wheels built and work done there and lived at Woody’s for some months.

Rohn is great and perhaps less shipping to and from Tennessee. I don’t know how turn around times compare.

This shop sounds like a good option to have, especially for East coasters. They claim a finished tolerance less than most other wheel straightening shops that I have looked at. Many will state that they will get as close to zero run-out as possible but will only guarantee to be less than the allowable run-out stated by the manufacturer. On the ST1300 that is a 0.080". If I am paying to have a wheel straightened I certainly want it to be well below that.

 

[Uncle Phil]

Good to know there is a shop a lot closer than Colorado!
Thanks.

Equipment most tyre shops use can't securely hold MC wheel for tyre-mounting or bending. Usually has some sort of cone that fits into centrebore of wheel. Doesn't work on MC wheels.

Or they have some sort of expanding part that grips centrebore of wheel.

Good to know. At least there's a reason

Woody's Wheel Works - Custom Motorcycle Wheels & Services (woodyswheelworks.com) did a great job of a rim repair on one of my ST1100 front rims.

Since you're in TN and he's in CO, I assume you shipped. What kind of turnaround was there?
