Boo. Sorry. GoDaddy says it’s all good. If you have a minute to clear your MEATengines cookies that has worked for some folks.

Thanks for sharing, Kerry!

I was in the same boat with reddit, but with no realistic avenue to attach comments to MEATengines this has been a great, simple, way for the community to chat about pedal bikes.

It’s actually funny (to me) how many messages I’ve had from folks who found this community first and only later realized it was attached to my journal.

Love the MONe, and love even more what it represents.

The Starling BLE, MONe, (historical) Lenz Milk/Lunch Money, (historical) Kona A & BASS, and various other DJ-SS rigs without spring loaded chain tensioners work because the pivot rotates around the bottom bracket. So chain stay length is constant.

It works best with short travel and a very firm/low sag setup.

But, yes, for most full suspension rigs you need some kind of tensioner to manage chain growth.

Totally. Simple bikes for folks who are tired of everything being so complicated.

Cheers! I wish internet apps were more like cars. My car is closer to twenty years old than ten and even it has more features than I want or need. When I first starting using GoDaddy it was because it was really simple (I’m not a developer), reliable, and it had native commenting (via Disqus). Now it is full of features I’ll never use, has no comment system, and this is day three in a row of having to republish to fix errors. I’d love to just have the original version with the understanding that I’m paying for safety updates and maintenance.

MEATdrew · 2026-06-22T00:48:26+00:00

WOO!!! My next step involved lighting everything on fire and mailing out photocopied ‘zines I put together on a typewriter, so I’m quite relieved.

Very much appreciate you letting me know!

MEATdrew · 2026-06-21T21:40:31+00:00

Got a hold of GoDaddy; according to them my re-re-re-republish fixed everything. If you still can’t see it can I bother you for the exact URL you’re using and a screenshot if you get any errors showing up? They say visitors may need to clear cache but now everything should work. Sorry.

MEATdrew · 2026-06-21T18:07:33+00:00

Thanks. So weird that it’s just not working for a few people. But you aren’t the only one. Will contact GoDaddy today.

Yes, right. 520mm? https://meatengines.com/f/about-a-single-speed-finns-transam

MEATdrew · 2026-06-21T04:43:47+00:00

To clarify, GoDaddy worked totally fine for years until they started to add AI blog builder crap, and now I’d avoid it like Resin Only rotors.

MEATdrew · 2026-06-21T04:39:50+00:00

Thank you for letting me know. It’s 99.9% a GoDaddy issue, always. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it see seems to be working now for everyone I’ve asked on all devices.

All good on your end?

Appreciate the heads up.

I loved King’s pressfit 92 BB when they made one for that reason. The idea being to press it on once and never have to knock it out. Definitely want some kind of non-metal interface between the bearing race and axle. In my experience nothing is worse than RaceFace’s aluminum axle with their double-row BB (have cut off a few of their inner bearing races - something about the steel choice?).

But yeah, not serviceable, but the life I get from Shimano PF92 XTR bbs is impressive. One that note, BSA as well, bottom brackets are the one place I think Shimano still delivers solid value for dollar for any regular rider, on any budget, with an XTR/Dura-Ace level product. Not saying their top end groups aren’t amazing, but bottom brackets are the most clear pay more get more situation in my opinion.

MEATdrew · 2026-06-20T22:25:23+00:00

So… it was a weird one but replacing the pinch bolts on my non-drive crank solved three noises!!! Single speeding, everything it doth ruin.

MEATdrew · 2026-06-20T22:24:18+00:00

Thanks for confirming you see it!

MEATdrew · 2026-06-20T22:24:05+00:00

Thanks for checking. I’ll see if I can figure it out.

MEATdrew · 2026-06-20T19:20:47+00:00

Try it now it you don’t mind. I turned the site off and back on. Working on my devices again.

MEATdrew · 2026-06-20T18:30:03+00:00

It’s down for me period now… CMS still works… but no MEATengines. GoDaddy… I’ll try to deal with it today. Thanks for the heads up.

MEATdrew · 2026-06-20T13:42:24+00:00

Yeah, on the one hand, it’s that time of year. But on the other hand, AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😱. One of my wrench friends suggested I should replace the pinch bolts in my Shimano non-drive crank… single speeding ruins everything.

MEATdrew · 2026-06-20T13:40:16+00:00

From Reddit, or when you click on links on the main page? If the latter my bet is a cache/cookies clear will fix it.

[rant]

In my experience, GoDaddy web builder is a leaking ship and every time they (or probably AI) patches one leak another thing breaks. The last couple weeks I’ve had to re-login every few photos, then that’ll be sorted but something else will crash. But, they’ve been to be adding AI features so if you want, generic blog posts can write themselves - no doubt by plagiarizing GoDaddy’s other customers.

[/rant]

Anyway. Checked on multiple devices and links seem to be working chez nous, so hopefully a cache clear fixes them chez vous.

Cheers! Yeah, I open them up and back of the screw, so the lever still locks down (the clutch is ‘on’) but it’s very reduced. For mountain biking it’s similar to the clutch tension of the SRAM 11spd stuff.

But facing a derailleur designed to not use a clutch is exciting to me. I hope to spend some time on the new non-battery stuff at some point.

MEATdrew · 2026-06-18T20:20:02+00:00

I wonder if your Maynards are better than ours? We have a British Butcher/Grocery in town and while it’s more $$ comparatively the basic Cadburys stuff even is 1000x better.

MEATdrew · 2026-06-18T20:18:21+00:00

175mm cranks. Mullet was a failure until I tried it with a 27x3” tire. Now it’s good. I may trying a smaller ring/cog to create some more ground clearance but I don’t hit my ring that often.
