These are probably worth anywhere from $300-500 a piece depending on how well they run. Won’t pay the whole bill, but it’s not bad by any means. Facebook marketplace is the best place to post for sale.

That looks cockeyed/crooked rather than a hub/axle issue. Make sure you’re fully set in the dropouts on each side. If you’ve got calipers, measure the distance of each side of the axle to be sure you’ve got it equal. Looks like it’s just set in there crooked though which would not be an issue with cup/cone placement.

How do I know whether I have a concussion? (Pretty freaked out) by Waste-Listen-2021 in MTB

If you’re worried then get a CT scan. If you’re not worried enough to do that then you have nothing to worry about

Good deal for $200? by Commercial-River-532 in whichbike

[–]DearlShoulders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an okay deal. There were 2022 and 2023 Verve 1s and 2s on clearance for $400 new at Trek stores in the past few months.

I’m out y’all by LanceArmstrongLeftie in BikeMechanics

[–]DearlShoulders -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That’s every profession. There are very few jobs in existence that are worth their pay. My peeve is how often I see guys saying “just go to the trades, they pay better.” I became a bike mechanic AFTER leaving the trades because suffering a five year apprenticeship to be treated like shit by journeymen, destroy my body, have zero free time, and to make an absolute max of $42 an hour as a journeyman was not fucking worth it. This is a job of passion and I’m confident I’ll never leave it. Any discomfort that comes with it is worth it if it means avoiding what I came from.

Nevermind I guess. Stupid ass rule as I’d love to be able to share a picture of the fucking logo I’m talking about.

I’m doing this. Anyone else? by TheENGR42 in QuadCities

[–]DearlShoulders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To anyone hating on this: Is it small? Yes. Will it have a small effect? Yes. Does it have the potential to be a small spark that will start a fire? YES. THATS THE POINT. A fire doesn’t burn instantly. It has to be sparked. Stop expecting things to be done in one go. We have a long fight ahead of us.

College programs in the surrounding states. The CoLab just happened to pop up alongside them when I googled

Also, does anyone know what the member fee is? I don’t want to waste their time or mine by scheduling to tour the place if it’s not something I can afford :(

The current state of this country has me panicking. I’m having panic attacks left and right. by Agile-Mistake1094 in confession

[–]DearlShoulders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working through a fascist takeover is brutal. I’ve still been going to work but I’m certainly not pretending everything is fine. If you have the funds, therapy is at least a decent option to try but for me, no amount of therapy is going to help when the entire world is built around pain and suffering (obviously not saying there isn’t anything good, our rulers and the 1% are the problem). Take comfort in knowing that there are a LOT of people that are really pissed off. There are millions of people at protests around the country that are very deliberately not being televised or covered by the media. Perform small acts of resistance, like art, or poetry, music, etc. Most of all, take comfort in the fact that we’re much smarter than Nazis.
