九百九十九朵玫瑰
Suddenly thought of this song. First heard it was when i was in primary school.
九佰九拾九朵玫瑰 (邰正宵)
往事如風 痴心只是難懂
借酒相送 送不走身影濛濛
燭光投影 映不出你顏容
仍只見你獨自照片中
夜風已冷 回想前塵如夢
心似冰凍 怎堪相識不相逢
難捨心痛 難捨情已如風
難捨你在我心中的放縱
我早已為你種下 九佰九拾九朵玫瑰
從分手的那一天 九佰九拾九朵玫瑰
花到凋謝人已憔悴
千盟萬誓已隨花事煙滅
Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Roses (Samuel Tai)
The past is like the wind, infatuation is only hard to understand
Using wine to escape, but I can’t escape the mist by my side
The candlelight throws shadows, but it can’t show your face
Still, I only see you alone in that photo
The night wind is already cold, memories of the past seem like dreams
My heart seems frozen, how can I endure knowing you but not meeting you?
I can’t bear heartache, I can’t bear that love is already like the wind
I can’t bear that I’ve let you have your way with my heart
Long ago, I planted for you: nine hundred ninety-nine roses
From the day we broke up, nine hundred ninety-nine roses
When the flowers withered, I’m already emaciated
A hundred thousand oaths, already extinguished with the flowers
Diagnosing problems from tyre wear.
Your tyre wear pattern can tell you a lot about any problems you might be having with the wheel/tyre/suspension geometry setup. The first two signs to look for are over- and under-inflation. These are relatively easy to spot:
Here’s a generic fault-finding table for most types of tyre wear:
Problem | Cause |
---|---|
Shoulder Wear Both Shoulders wearing faster than the centre of the tread |
|
Under-inflation | |
Repeated high-speed cornering | |
Improper matching of rims and tyres | |
Tyres haven’t been rotated recently | |
Centre Wear The centre of the tread is wearing faster than the shoulders |
|
Over-inflation | |
Improper matching of rims and tyres | |
Tyres haven’t been rotated recently | |
One-sided wear One side of the tyre wearing unusually fast |
|
Improper wheel alignment (especially camber) | |
Tyres haven’t been rotated recently | |
Spot wear A part (or a few parts) of the circumference of the tread are wearing faster than other parts. |
|
Faulty suspension, rotating parts or brake parts | |
Dynamic imbalance of tyre/rim assembly | |
Excessive runout of tyre and rim assembly | |
Sudden braking and rapid starting | |
Under inflation | |
Diagonal wear A part (or a few parts) of the tread are wearing diagonally faster than other parts. |
|
Faulty suspension, rotating parts or brake parts | |
Improper wheel alignment | |
Dynamic imbalance of tyre/rim assembly | |
Tyres haven’t been rotated recently | |
Under inflation | |
Feather-edged wear The blocks or ribs of the tread are wearing in a feather-edge pattern |
|
Improper wheel alignment (faulty toe-in) | |
Bent axle beam |
