[RBW] Re: Roast your own coffee?

2017-08-05 Thread Mark Benedetto
Precisely this.  Lower your flame as you approach first crack.  I'm not 
sure how pan roasting equates with drum roasting since the pan is open to 
the air so the environmental temperature is lower than if it were enclosed, 
but generally you should begin reducing heat about midway through the 
roast.  As you approach first crack your heat is generally quite low.  The 
cracks should be quite distinct.

Re: [RBW] Hunq's Slipping Seatpost

2015-04-27 Thread Mark Benedetto
I also had a couple issues with my Hunq from the end of 2013.  The seat 
post slipped a ton, but it turns out the tube was actually a different 
size.  27.0 I think instead of the standard 26.8/27.2 (which I suppose 
means I was fitted with a 26.8 post).  Also, one of the rear rack mounts 
wasn't tapped, so I had to tap it first to get the bolt in.  That's 
something a little outside reasonable expectations I think, same for 
knurling.
