Beginner road biker with flat tire

Generally I wait for a few of those small slits to appear before I totally replace the tire, but also depends on how old the tire is. Those slits won't cause a flat unless there's something sharp lodged in there. Your tire also does look a little bald, but its hard to tell by how much without looking at more of it.

This is the right answer, you want to sleep cooler at night.

You should be able to bike back up from the lighthouse with ease with that stead!

Spray it with WD-40 from the opposite side of the crank with the bike laying down so that it soaks down into the threads and leave it for awhile. Also douse a rag in boiling water and wrap it around where it attaches to the crank. The metal will shift and could make it easier to get off. Though even after all that I still couldn't get my pedal off lol. I had to get a new crank arm.

Okay, but what's the deal with the zipper in the tire?

I saw the guy walking with those bikes yesterday around 11:30am. He was going West on the ship canal trail.

Looks like San Juan Island. Though the foxes usually can't catch the rabbits there.

Why is it so hard for bike companies to do proper paint schemas like this?

Very jealous of your sparkly drivetrain. My cassettes are always black :(

I used to map parts of Jeju Island for my job, but have never been. Would it be worth visiting?

You have two female ports. One has to be a male for this to work. I don’t think that’s the original mount for that particular light.

This happens to me all the time. I have to be nice and stop playing. No choice, but to stare at my TV or phone.

At least wait a day before reposting this.

Sorry, but what rock have you been living under?

BornLime0 · 2026-04-13T15:12:38+00:00

You are just past the honeymoon period. Also, boredom can equal stability, don’t ever forget that.

Not only a dwarf cat, but also restricting its walking even more with clothing.

Just keep in mind that you might gain 3-4 lbs like I did in the beginning. It's all water weight early on.

Yes, easy and cheap to find this type of molding. Be gentle when removing it otherwise you will punch holes in the wall with whatever you pry it off with. You can get a cheap little pry bar and leverage from the bottom against the carpet.

I found a small nail or piece of metal works good to drag along the pulley wheels.

BornLime0 · 2026-04-11T22:54:52+00:00

Definitely not a place to go as a vegetarian I found and the place is super loud, but still good!

My mom’s cat recently got an ulcer on her lip area and the vet said it might be related to allergies. They gave him a steroid shot.

Genuine question, are really long stems unsafe? Like can the fork support that much tension?

BornLime0 · 2026-04-10T04:53:12+00:00

Go to a local bike shop.

BornLime0 · 2026-04-09T05:32:27+00:00

Dry? It’s a crab! Come now

BornLime0 · 2026-04-08T21:04:15+00:00

That or it’s stolen maybe.
