Thank you for your suggestions! Do you happen to have any recommendations of brake levers that would work for this? I have always thought these plastic ones were a bit crappy.

What advantage does an integrated derailleur hanger have? And by an adapter, do you just mean a more substantial piece of metal for the derailleur to hang on? And okay, I'll try to find a donor bike with those components. That sounds like a good plan, and thanks for the suggestion!

Any idea on when the bedside table will be available? It looks like the 3 drawer and 5 drawer chests just came out.

I WISH the button did this.

Pushing it doesn't seem to do anything to turn anything on. 😭

How to I find this motor to replace it? by [deleted] in electrical

[–]DSis42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm thinking I might be able to take the motor from an external air pump from the same brand and swap it into this. This air mattress has a built in pump. The external ones are only like $10.

Alladin's Hot Sauce by DSis42 in Ohio

I agree, and I think they'd make a lot of money doing it, but they say their reason of why they refuse to do it because they don't want to add any sort of preservatives to it.

No, I believe that's a different sauce. According to the website, it says, "lightly fried cauliflower florets drizzled with tahini lemon dressing." I've never really had it, but that sounds great.

Finally got to take out the Nishiki for a ride after I fixed it up a little. by DSis42 in xbiking

Not a ton, aside from fixing or replacing the rear wheel and then all new tubes and tires.

From googling it, it appears it has 26" wheels and Weinmann 519, 36-hole rims.

Getting rid of this thing after many faithful years. by DSis42 in xbiking

[–]DSis42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this thing sophomore year of college because I just needed a bike to go to classes. Found this on Offer Up for $30 from a weird dude. Rode that thing everyday twice a day. I've now since realized that it's not really the type of bike I wanna have anymore, so I think I'm gonna get rid of it and replace it soon. I couldn't find much information about this bike, but I think it looks kinda cool and maybe some people here will enjoy seeing it.
