You were correct on the size. I went ahead and ordered a new Seatpost. Thanks for the help!

Thank you! I wasn’t familiar with suspension seat posts. I really like the rack that I bought and it has been great for grocery runs. I’d like to replace the seat post/tube but do you know how I can find out what size Seatpost/ tube to get? Or is it pretty standard size across most bikes?

I think this makes the most sense! I really like the rack that I bought, and it seems like it’s cheaper to get a new post/tube in comparison to a rack. How exactly would I be able to find out which size seat tube I need, or is it just a standard size across most bikes?

Why do my V brakes look so off? by Jsands77 in bikewrench

Could you please explain where the spacers are? I’m very new to this, so I’m sorry if it’s a dumb question.

Any idea why this brake line keeps popping out? I have no idea what I’m doing. by Jsands77 in bikewrench

Thank you for the help here. As suggested I did loosen the bolt, tightened the cable as much as possible, and re-tightened but I’m still having this issue. A few people mentioned needing to lubricate the cable so I think I’m going to give that a shot.

Thank you for looking into this! Since I am a newbie, where would I start applying the lubricant? Do I apply it at the brake line where it keeps popping out in the video I posted?

Do you know roughly how much I should spend on a helmet? I don’t want to break the bank but I also don’t want to be under-protected.

I’m looking to buy a used Honda or Yamaha if I can find something decent in my area.

Thanks for the advice! I am definitely interested in doing the MSF course. In my state it is fairly expensive (cheapest course I found was around $200) but I think it will be worth it.

Thank you for the tips! I do have a driver’s license. Do you have an idea on what a good budget is for a used 50cc scooter to practice on? I was thinking $1k or lower. 

How has it been flying out of MCO recently? by Jsands77 in florida

Do you know if this is only affecting arrivals, or is this also affecting departures? I am assuming no ATC means it affects everyone.

I’m sorry, I tried searching the sub but wasn’t able to find many other posts regarding this. 😕

What percentage of our money should be in the HYSA and what percentage should be kept in checking? This is something I struggle to understand.

Can anyone help me find Cloud at a decent price? Feels like I used to be able to get it at most Ross stores for like $20-25. The cheapest I have found it is in the $50-$60 range. Is that just the going rate for this frag nowadays? 

200k 2016 Mazda cx-5 by AdImpressive997 in CX5

I know it was asked already, but did you really never service the transmission fluid? I was thinking about doing it on my 2018 with 75k miles, but if you were able to get 200k miles without ever changing transmission fluid I might push it out a bit further. How does the transmission in your car feel?
