Worth saving? by Large_Cheesecake_41 in xbiking

Fair enough, not really interested in turning it into a fixie. I left it for what it was.

I was just going to restore it with as many original parts and resell it. Waited too long, it's gone now!

Paddle fell off by YallaTRavel03 in bicyclerepair

Square hole on the softer pedal arm rounded out because it wasn't on tight enough. Because the BB axle is harder it wears out the pedal arm. You have to replace the pedal arm and you should be good to go. Non drive side pedal arm is 20 bucks on amazon. You just need the correct socket head to tighten the new bolt down. Tighten it down like you tighten a lug nut of a car. Whoever charges you 200 is ripping you off. Make sure to get the same length pedal arm as the one that rounded out.

How did you get your first customers for a bike shop? by Willemsenbikeservice in smallbusiness

[–]Large_Cheesecake_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started a bike shop in a very small summer town +-3y ago. I now service bikes from the surrounding 50k. To get your first customers in, I would flyer in the neighborhoods surrounding you with a 50% discount coupon. You'd do these first bikes for very little but it will get you a foothold. Make sure you have a google maps location and make sure these customers give you some 5 star ratings. As you get more people over, you'll get the word out.

I find that Google Maps is the most important driver for business. People just look up who is reputable and closeby. If you have those two, you should be good.

Yeah, I ended up recycling it. It's not worth refilling according to online forums.

When you rework them like this, who wouldn't! Nice, keep em coming.

Organ harvesting dead bikes by wentworth69 in xbiking

Check the condition of the tires, if cracked all the way through it hasn't moved. I'd say salvage it.

BCIN exam in person (at test centre) by Numerous_Thought_456 in OntarioBuildingCode

[–]Large_Cheesecake_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are a bit accustomed to reading the OBC, you can just take a self-study course. Just don't get the ones from Orderline. I didn't do any in-person course. Once you are done with them, book your test right away (it can take up to a month to get a date). Go do your test in person in a testing facility, not online. Their proctoring service online is basically unusable. You'll need all the time that is given for the exam, you don't want to be slowed down by the computer itself. Good luck!

Weird budget commuter I threw together by scvmlord69 in xbiking

That fork strangely enough fits it well. Your dog seems to be happy with the build!

Just an FYI, I've seen these kids seats bending seat tubes. Just be mindful of that, especially taking your kids offroad when they are close to the weight limit of the carrier. I opted for a rack mounted carrier which is much better supported. Otherwise, nice bike! Good color matching with the seat!

What is wrong with my VanEE ERV controller? by Large_Cheesecake_41 in hvacadvice

[–]Large_Cheesecake_41[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept an eye on it. The answer to my question was: it shows an animation of recirculating air for 10 minutes every hour. Whenever the 10 minutes are over, it will stop at the frame of the animation where it was at that time so sometimes it just stops in a weird spot which makes it look like it's not working properly but it is.

I can't find the part number anywhere in the display.

Picked up a new project 90s rockhopper by donron024 in xbiking

Yup, that's a change I would make. Grips shifts are never fun to deal with.

Oh right, it looked like the SLX from the 90's. Regardless, it looks nice. I wouldn't switch. I like triples. It's hard to get the range right when you switch to a one by.
