Re: what to do with the end cap

OR try this. Just remove the caps that hold the bars on and you can tips the bars without tipping the entire bike. Another thing I have no experience with of course. It just might work.

The BBs settle, kind of like sand does. And there is something about the brass on brass contact that lessens vibrations.

Re: what to do with the end cap

What, like releasing gallons of oil into the water during high waves would make the waves slosh less or something?
That's amazing....or am I reading something wrong?

I can see how it would work, since the oil would float and it would make the sea water act more like a sludge. Something about the cohesion properties of water molecules changing. I don't really remember all of the proper terms - it's been a while. The oil/water mix would tend to just slosh around like a thick tomato soup instead of crashing and exploding against the bow of the ship.

what to do with the end cap

BBs Why not use gun shot. The pellets for shotgun shells come in a variety of sizes and are lead = no noise

That would probably work too. Never heard of it though on any forum in the time I have been lurking and listening. Maybe the properties of lead are not as effective so no one mentions it anymore. We need a metalurgist from the audience please.
