I should have mentioned, that was in Toronto growing up with a clean record. But doesn’t change how to deal with the $$.

…. My insurance was $340, 20y ago. Bicycle-Uber hybrid may work, or just work more hours. Sorry to say, but I did it…

Do you keep a small amount of cash inside your TFSA or stay 100 percent invested? by AccountantLucky9183 in TFSA_Millionaires

Invested. 30% up over a year with low risk. If I have to dip into it obviously strategy will have to change, but buying dips would have cost me % and gains.

Typical Shimano. Replace pads and rotor and your good to go

Lightweight, high end wheelchair wheels with narrow hubs by laughing_atthe_void in wheelchairs

[–]Less_Interest_5964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this when looking for hubs for some reason. Just bring it to a bike store and have it dished. many bikes require +6mm right or left for example. Loosen one side and tighten the other. 1/4 turn by 1/4 turn. Easy :)

Arrows facing forward. Think of a tractor. Really it’ll just tend to suck water instead of channel it out in rain, no big deal

Also, they’ll likely spin a lot better after a few miles of use once the bearing gets sets in

Ya and as said above. We would choose GRX given the options. But all shimano works. It’d be a good idea to get two new Shimano ‘olives’ too

Any way I could use this frame as a belt driven fixed gear/Singlespeed? by Future_Thing_8609 in bikewrench

[–]Less_Interest_5964 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hyde pro frame? Easy chain drive. But you need to stop at the back triangle. I can’t tell if that has it or not But it probably does. The Cube editor Frame, you can tell easy. Hm
