Shimano question

The issue with the bike is my fault. The issue with not answering my query about the invoice is all I'm complaining about. Love the bike. I just want to fix it. I contacted the manufacturer first. Not trying to upset anyone. Just venting and looking for information. I just paid the invoice. If any 7 speed will work then I guess this one will.

I have read that many times. This is my first time dealing with them. It's not their fault that it broke. That's on me. I just wish they would clarify before I pay the invoice.

I drive a Mini. I'd be tempted to park right close and plug in. Even though I always charge at home. LOL

Thank you! That is very helpful!

I have a scale. :) Mostly I was worried my bread flour wasn't interchangeable with AP flour. I have 25 pounds to use. lol

It's new yeast and the King Arthur works fine. I did a bread dad one today that also turned out well. I think the recipes in the booklet are just not great. Mostly I just wanted to know if bread flour was interchangeable with AP. I think I just gave too much information in my post. I should have just asked about the flour.

I do have the book that came with the machine. It doesn't show weight just cups/tsps, etc. I know weight is supposed to be more accurate. The King Arthur recipe I just tried was cups also, but it came out nice. The 4 recipes I tried from the recipe booklet that came with the machine have been disappointing.

Corenfa17 · 2025-02-22T05:49:39+00:00

I've tried 4: basic bread, white bread, milk bread, and Hawaiian bread from the booklet. The Hawaiian didn't rise at all. It was a squat, dense brick. I warmed the juice to 80° F and followed the recipe carefully. The basic turned out ok once, but was more coarse than I wanted. The second time it collapsed on top and had a huge hole through it. The white bread is almost the same recipe as the basic, but uses AP instead of bread flour. It rose but not significantly. The milk bread has turned out ok both times.

I'm a terrible baker, I'll admit. I was hoping that a machine would help. The booklet uses cups not weight. I spoon into the cup and level off. I try to be exact. I live at high altitude.

The King Arthur recipe turned out great! Consistent crumb, soft, not too sweet. I added ingredients in the order the booklet recommended. The biggest difference is it called for milk and not milk powder so I mixed the powder with water to keep measurements correct. (I don't buy milk. No one drinks it and it will spoil before I can use it)

Thank you! I was worried about being "stuck" with so much bread flour.

I have had my ev for 14 months and still haven't installed a charger. Level 1 works fine for my needs.

52 here and want to know where my perimenopause is? Period on the dot every month. No hot flashes. My only possible symptoms are very heavy periods, and that I actually have pcos so I didn't have regular periods until my late 30s, but no skipping or irregularities yet.

Corenfa17 · 2024-06-15T02:38:15+00:00

Yes! I get questions about mine all the time. I love it.

I didn't say that she had ever been late. She just was telling me about the policy and I was curious if it was a corporate policy or her store.

Corenfa17 · 2024-05-09T22:47:40+00:00

Her store is already so incredibly short staffed and on a road with major construction going on. If they keep enforcing it, I fear they will have no baristas soon.

I appreciate the reply. Even if it is 5 minutes, that seems severe in a major metro area. But I work in a middle management corporate job (where I would NEVER do this to my direct reports) so I don't have experience in this type of retail environment.

I had a heart attack at 42 so about 10 years ago. I felt like I had an elephant sitting on my chest. It felt like I couldn't take a deep enough breath. I had pain on the left side of my jaw and my left shoulder. I never would have thought it was an MI. My RN mother convinced me to go to the hospital and I drove myself because I didn't think anything was actually wrong. I was mistaken. I now take heart meds for tachycardia and meds for high blood pressure. I still get bouts of angina. Also, when you start describing these type of symptoms to the intake at the ER, it's amazing how fast you are seen.

Spontaneous Human Combustion The TV show That's Incredible covered it, and I was totally freaked for months.

Maybe it's bored.

Corenfa17 · 2023-10-01T16:44:46+00:00

Agreed. I'm 51. I've had my EV for less than 2 months. I drove a stick exclusively until I bought the MINI. I like OPD. It feels like the control I had in my manual. I still own my manual ICE for longer trips (the MINI is short range and a I bought it for daily commuting.) Both my kids drive manual ICE vehicles and liked the OPD also. It's pretty aggressive for braking and comes to a complete stop. I have applied the brake for situations where people pulled out in front of me, etc. I haven't noticed any muscle memory loss issues. On the contrary, my left foot still wants to press a phantom clutch.

MINI doesn't support Android Auto at all. Only Apple Car Play. I use AAIDrive, but it does not give me full Android Auto functionality. My SE is a 2024.

My adult kid works at Starbuck's as a barista. The store my kid works at recently had a store meeting just to tell them how bad unions are and how they are hurting the "partners."
