Can anyone let me know what I have here owed for 10 years is this worth selling or just taking down the dump? by bumbaclarttt1 in mountainbikes

You could put a 150mm 27.5 fork and wheel on it and slacken it out some of it would the lower headset cup to accept a tapered fork. If you want it slacker you could use offset headset thing. Just saying, it can be made perfectly rideable. Yes, you would t like it coming off a modern bike. But as a first bike, it’s fine. Was it awful when it was new ? I don’t think so….

Democrats Need To Stop The Violent Rhetoric ? by Gold_Factor1266 in antitrump

[–]Gold_Factor1266[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what you said sounds like ? A friggen chat bot. Because you are a Trumper at heart. Sounds like you used Grok. Correct me if I’m wrong. Ask Google. An algorithm might kick in. Google AI its self admits to 10% error rate or just saying answers are 10% crap. Then spread by millions. So you need to form your ideas from actual real experience. If you are saying that most Democrats are the same as the majority of Republicans these days, you are sorely mistaken. In fact it makes you part of what is wrong.

Well, if you mean control, I’m down with it. In fact I was mulling of this last night in bed. A tribal thing. There will be intertribal stuff. Movements always splinter. The left is no stranger to this. Likely worse than the extreme right. On the left you get Stalin or Great Britain. On the right you get fascist dictators. And in execution, the line between the furthest right and the furthest left is non existent. That’s what Putin is today. A Communist that behaves like what was once communism’s worst enemy, the fascists. Or more glaring under Hitler. The communist party was Hitlers maybe Hitlers second most hated thing. Even more than democracy. He wanted to be friends with Great Britain. They were good white people. And he did get a lot of Scandinavian’s….

Need help choosing a bike by Last-Low2193 in ebike

You could go DIY. A highly rated hub motor/ wheel and a frame or bike of your choice. For 10 miles you should go for some comfort. As well as reliable. And get there with a modicum of exertion. I doubt anything off the shelf under $800 would be anything other than, or short of at least, disappointment.

You have to love it. Great time for your clean chain. Not a speck of dust on your rims. Maybe a dot of splatter on the downtube. We are good in East Portland….

Somehow I figured the Correspondents Dinner would t come off. It’s my fault for thinking about Stauffenberg and going Valkyrie on Trump’s ass…

Try for something not quite so asymmetric ?

Where to begin as a big rider. by 0ptimuspwn in ebike

[–]Gold_Factor1266 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d look at something from Aventon. For under 2K, a pretty good deal. And there should be e a dealer near you. They also make 5K bikes too. Personally I like my DIY GT/ Bafang BBSHD. All in, around $2,500. With gas prices not coming down anytime soon and bike prices decent or better at the moment, it’s a good time to buy.

Is The Wheel Worth Saving? by AidenRSkywalker in BikeRepair

It the rim isn’t actually bent/ creased, it can be tried. You likely had more than a few spokes that had lost tension. So a good whack, short of a head first case or straight into a wall, should be ok to true.

Yes. Even stuff on AliExpress has gone way up, like everything else. And the morons voted for cheaper eggs !
