One of the weird thing about diodes is that as long as they're operating, they have a voltage drop of about 0.7V --so that'd give you a bit closer to 4.5V (probably within acceptable tolerance?) and regulated.
Again, if the charger is unregulated, it's a whole different ballgame. EDIT: For something more complicated, you could use a transistor based circuit, see "Emitter-Follower buffer": http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu...c/emitfol.html EDIT AGAIN: Now that I think about it, the easiest way would be to use a normal voltage divider followed by an op-amp configured as a voltage follower -- this basically acts as a buffer between the load (device) and the supply circuit. It'll work only if the charging current isn't too large - typical op-amps can deliver 20-30 mA and "high current" ones are around 200mA. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu...opampvar2.html |

That would mean all I would have to do would be to splice a couple of wires...

You will split the sun in half with your mad scheme...... DO IT!!!!!
How about a solar charger? |

The P2, as well as many others, are suspension corrected so they wont adversely affect handling. The Marzo boys are checking the specs and stock to see if they have what may be needed.

I caved on the PDA front and bought a leatherbound notebook. I was thinking it would be cool if brooks made a notebook cover but its probably best if they spend their time making saddles... My electronics will include a cell phone, an mp3 player, a digicam and a digital watch, as well as my cycling computer.

to those of you who order from nashbar: what are the shipping fees like and do you have to pay brokerage fees etc? any out there have a valid coupon for them?

Camping. Was. Awesome. Canoe trip in Killarney Provincial Park = win.
It rained a lot but that only meant that we could be all hardcore and ish. Um, I ride a fixed gear bike. Edit: Psst Sirrobin, did my CC come in yet? Want want want! Edit Edit: You guys going on that Curbside ride? Yes? |
Yay Killarney!

They will tax basically anything... Certainly bike parts...
Keith, I already ordered a stem from sweet petes. no dice. I'm heading to the shop in half an hour though. |

P.S i worked at a clothing factory in North york before, the shirt you buy from $HIP_PLACE actaully cost about 80 cents to make, with all the costs included. Less if the work was outsourced to Bangladesh, to that end I usually get my clothes from the inspection rejects bin or I just wear my cycling clothes (which my mom did not buy for me). And we pretty much cut for all the "name brands" out there. |
pwned by remote...
Best served up chilled ^^word to the clothing^^ I used to pick orders for Sears and the Bay in MTL...Tees retailing for 20$ were purchased for less than 2 and shipped in monster containers on a slow boat from India or Pakistan. The reject bin?...Rob that's almost punk rock of ya. |
Tax yes (GST/PST), but no additional customs tariffs on bike parts
http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/general/p...-99/ch87ne.pdf Under section 87.14, you can see the list of components -- the only items with tariffs are built up wheels (6.5%) and frames (5%). |

Who wants to go in on a set of craigslist golf clubs to make polo mallets? brad? :) |
