    Why do people use the rear brake?

    I use rear brakes along with front brakes to get more braking power and stable braking. My bike is old so no ABS for me, crutial to avoid lock up. I had a front wheel lockup on greasy/wet tarmac, the bike went to the ground but because of low speed the damage was minor.

    What is the condition of the braking system on the trailer? Flatspots usually occur when wheels lock up.

    Did piston soak increase my oil consumption?

    Perhaps 10W-40 to begin with. I red your original post more thoroughly, you filled with 5W-30 i see. That might be a bit too light considering Audis burn oil.

    Did piston soak increase my oil consumption?

    I would most def run a HDEO in these and a bit heavier viscosity from what manual recommends.

    Do people in other countries have high milage cars?

    It is an issue, however due to mandatory inspection the worst rust buckets are kinda being banned from the road. And there are plenty of people who treat their cars with anti rust treatment to keep rust in check.

    Do people in other countries have high milage cars?

    Here i Norway taxis reach 200 000 miles with ease in few years and there are plenty of cars that have done 200k or more for sale. There are over 900 vehicles for sale with 200k miles or more at Norways biggest online trading site. For a small country that is quite large number.

    Minijack to USB adapter, more sound volume?

    I see. Seems like that adapter is worth a shot. Those new headphones are great, just want more sound like old Razer headphones with USB connector had.

    This is for a PC application. Not too long ago i bough new set of fancy headphones with mic, replacing damaged/broken Razer headphones. However while these new headphones are really nice and costed decent penny, the volume of the sound is way lower than my old Razer headphones. Razer headphones...

    Cleaning oil spills in the engine bay?

    Brake kleen are a fast way of cleaning tiny oil mess, but if your engine are covered with oil stains/spillage you would need to use degreaser and water. I`ve been a mechanic for 15 years, so i know a bit about that. Brake kleen are generally safe, just don`t use it on hot exhaust and åpen...
