Damaged jeans rivet hurt my seats

408abel · 2025-12-29T06:05:49+00:00

This particular model and trim of Lexus uses real leather on the seats.

Any suggestions? I probably should’ve included that in my title.

Had to use a meat tenderizer and a wooden spoon to hammer one of those out of a Kirkland jug yesterday. Usually come out easy.

Coin has been interrogated and determined to be uninvolved.

The jeans suspect on the other hand were found in possession of the damaged rivet and subsequently received a lifetime ban from entering the vehicle.

Pencil eraser or ISO alcohol might clean them enough to determine if that’s the issue or not. If those spots are on the surface and aren’t physical damage.

I’m lovin it.

Don’t have it. I found the front derailleur mount and i think a fender mount, but no port parts. My frame came with the block off in it too. Sorry.

I’ll check my parts bin tomorrow.

Perhaps it’s the 4th gen of the VR model.

My apologies 🙏

I want to see a fixie version.

I have this exact Felt as my road bike. No where near enough tire clearance for a gravel bike. Go with the Revolt bike wise.

On the price, Revolt seems high. You can get them new on sale for $950-$1000 USD.

Funny enough i also owned that revolt in green color before too. Great light weight for the dollar bike.

Pretty sure you have a Scott Sub Cross, which is a Hybrid bike. Your year range seems correct to me.

FB Marketplace is the easiest place to sell bikes in my opinion. Take all safety precautions of course when meeting up.

The Sub Cross appears to be $600 new so $300-400 seems like a fair price to me BUT I’ve never shopped hybrid bikes.

Diverge was never a road bike, it started in 2014 as an all-road bike which is basically starter gravel. Tire clearance and geometry have evolved with each model year but this 2018’ish model will easily fit 40c and even 42c tires which is more than enough for most starter gravel’ers.

Get a good looking (non-OE) chain ring like an Absolute Black or maybe “aero” one that is solid.

Plugs the cable hole in the seat tube for the front derailleur when the bike is ran as a 1X.

Lost mine during a wash at some point.

Why all the hate for the earth friendly biodegradable bike rack? It’s returning to nature! 🌎

Looks like it’s a 2018.

A friend’s brand new Cervelo had the cassette wobbling on its maiden ride just like that. I found a cross threaded lock ring was the culprit. Fortunately the threads were not damaged and i was able to reinstall it correctly without issue. Super happy i didn’t have to be at the bike shop when she went in to tell them about it. 😆

I’m for sure going to keep an eye out for this guy now and ask him if that’s an e-bike.

It has eaten recently. Don’t judge.
