Stupid Question: Do you think JD Vance has to pay the same extortionate
cleaning fees at a AirBNB as the general unwashed?

I see he's copping a bit of flack in the Cotswolds currently which is mildly amusing, I don't think he'll ever have a holiday in relative peace again.

I assume it's like pet friendly accommodation.

Hey electrical guru's.

I want to run a PC fan on solar and a battery when the sun fks off at night.

I dug this small PWM solar charge controller out of the shed that has light and timer control for the load output so it only provides load when there is no solar. But of course the fan won't run during the day.

I've circumvented this by splitting the fan +/- wires and wiring into the solar input and load output.

Am I going to mince the controller doing this?

What are the skinny wires connected to the solar infeed doing? 12V solar panels will run about 20V and those skinny wires are getting that. Effectively you are not using the pwm controller at all and backfeeding the pwm controller. With regards to the controller some don't like to be backfed. Easiest thing is to throw a diode in the battery circuit or... ...run the fan from the battery full time and let nuclear power charge the battery when it can.

Yeah those skinny wires are loving it!

They are hooked up to the fan (and the load output).

This is what I wanted to do just the fan wouldn't run when I initially connected it.

Thought now I realise it might've been a voltage issue (the battery is not 12v and was pretty much flat).

Hooked up to the battery now and seems to be running alright...
 
I'm measuring 0.1mm clearance between the cups and the bearings.

You can rattle them side-to-side in the cups.
I think there's 2 different sizes of lower cups that are 0.1mm different in diameter. I only found this out when I replaced my headset bearings and the steering locked up every time I landed a jump. How does it compare to the old bearings?

TBF these were the old bearings. I don't remember them being that loose when I installed the angleset.

I was changing forks and had planned to remove the angleset anyway.
