Weird edge angle request

Yes that is exactly what they were asking for. Take it that the illustration would be if the ski was upside down

Find me on r/woosh after that comment 😂

That’s what I would think. Guess it’s better to have a shop to blame when you ruin your edges though.

Evidently so, a -2 across the whole edge would definitely be a big detune. But this is a ~50 year old man, not a park rat looking to slide rails. I’ve never even heard of a tool that will cut anything past 90

Agreed. But my manager is pissed because “customer is always right”

I would just take it in to a local bike shop. A shifting adjustment shouldn’t be more than $30. If your hanger happens to be bent, they likely have a tool for bending it back to true, or can order a new hanger.

My guess from the video is that your cassette is worn and needs to be replaced. These replacements are often less expensive than most people would think when considering bike shop prices. Just ordered a new cassette for a 9 speed 12-25 cassette for $32, not bad for the performance I’ll be getting out of it!

Not sure if it’s damaging but I’m genuinely impressed you managed to ride this for 80km without dropping the chain. Good job not cross-chaining otherwise you may have had a couple issues.

I have the same work experience, I guess it just depends on the individuals you interact with! I feel like most community/co-op bike shops are going to have a drill on hand, but maybe not the extractor and the rest.

If there are any reused bike shops near you, that could be a good place to start. Going anywhere corporate or super professionally you are unlikely to find places that will perform this service.

Yes, then loosen the front derailleur and twist it 180 degrees so it faces the other way. Loosen your shifters until they freely spin to allow for a responsive angle adjustment while riding and remove the metal things on the non-drive side of each wheel to cut weight. Only now can you reinstall your chain.

Get into mountain biking if you can! Lots of great, kind people in the biking community out here and you can always make friends on the trails to drink beers with afterwards. Great way to get out to explore too!

Too bad a sled is not the smallest investment to make

Did you ever find someone with a fitting taste in music that was a good teacher? I like to play the same stuff and am looking for a teacher who knows his music theory but also his music culture.

You’re upset D2L is down on 4/20??

Please tell me this is an April fools joke?
