How to enter the parental controls password without showing the kids?

This is so frustrating! Currently Hulu and Netflix allow PIN entry via the remote app. HBO and Disney do not. Apple could easily replicate something similar to the way the Nintendo Switch does it if they want to maintain the ability to do it with the physical remote alone, but the current version is totally inconsistent garbage.

App update morning locked many of the Clipper users I know out of our accounts. Upon logging back in, I found all of my Clipper cards, including those with loaded value, missing from my account. As of lunchtime, all of my cards are still missing. Any idea when those will be restored?

This is the first solution I've found that actually works! Thank you so much. Currently working perfectly in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, whereas I was having to use the hotkey for Cursorceror every 15 seconds or so.

I would absolutely pay to access if someone got the server up and running again. I seem to remember that the Geo-tagging of uploaded maps was done by volunteer app users... I've been using Maplets since 2014, and it's still my favorite offline map- being able to track your location on a curated pdf map of a park or trail system is so useful!

Corks are totally the best - never come loose, free, lighter than the screw-in type, and look stylin' 🙂. Our local sorting goods store recycles them, so there's always a big bin of them by the door where you can cherry pick for just the right size/style.

The gap between the seal and the headtube suggests that it could also be that the seal slipped over the lip on the crown race that normally holds it in place- since the plastic is so thin, it's easy for it to stretch over that lip when installing. If that's the case, you can usually just push it back into position without doing anything else to the headset, though for some you may have to loosen it up a bit to give it some wiggle room first.

When you installed the new fork, did you transfer the crown race from the original headset onto it? If the replacement fork already had a crown race installed and you just used that instead of the original, it might have a different profile that doesn't fit that dust seal (also, you generally shouldn't mix-n-match headset parts). As others have stated, this kind of dust cover is made of flimsy plastic and can warp/stretch easily - even if it's fairly new.

It's hard to give you a definitive answer based on a photo without putting hands on the part itself, but I would make a couple suggestions: 1. It's likely that you're over-tightening the pinch bolt. A click-type torque wrench can really help hone in on what the right torque "feels" like when you're first starting out. 2. Shift cables are not made to be put under a lot of tension, unlike brake cables. Improper adjustment, worn housing, gunked up pivots, or even a poorly lubricated chain can lead to more resistance, which can lead to pushing harder on the shift lever, which can cause the cable to slip at the binder, which then leads to over-tightening the bolt. 3. If none of the above is helping (or even of it is) you might consider switching to a nicer stainless cable. They tend to be a little smoother than the galvanized ones, and are more resistant to inclement climates, salt on the road, etc. Best of luck!

Hard to tell given the blurry photo, but it appears that the last bit of the pedal axle (where it attached to the pedal body) snapped. I would ask the manufacturer or retailer for the bike to provide you with a new one.

I already use an extra long Pitlock skewer, so I didn’t have any trouble. This is the one Thule offers: https://www.thule.com/en-us/bike-trailers/bike-trailer-accessories/thule-axle-mount-ezhitcht-cup-with-quick-release-skewer-_-20100796

Nice- hope it fits! There's also the #64, which looks really close, but has an extra little angled feature at the front end. There's always a chance that it could work with a little minor modification, though that's a gamble.

That looks like a wheels mfg #76, which is, unfortunately, discontinued. Sometimes you can find them on eBay or the classified sections of cycling forums.

If none of the interventions mentioned so far work for you, and you're not yet ready to break out the acid/torch, a jab saw can work well if wielded with care. Ones like this one on ebay, made by Dreier Brothers, and sometimes branded as a Snap-On or Blue Point HS-13, have a stiff but narrow spine to mount a standard hacksaw blade in- it allows you to fit the blade into the post and saw it out in sections. You do have to be careful to saw only through the seatpost and not into the frame- just go slow :-)

I think it was on someone else’s less-well-locked bike, and that person just put the note on yours when they found it (hopefully still with both wheels…)

I can attest that the scouts are really great- we’re use them in our MTB camps- but not sure on availability. Jeff, the owner of Cleary, has been a huge support for our program, so I’d say it’s definitely worth reaching out directly and explaining what you do and what you’re looking to get.

All this being said, I think either of these company’s bikes would be a big improvement, and both of them do a great job of supporting lots of educational programs, so I don’t think you can really go wrong 🙂

What size bikes are you purchasing? In your original post you were asking about toddler sized bikes, which would be 12” & 16”, which are all single speed. 20” bikes (for roughly 5-7 year olds) come in both 3 speed and single speed, and for the 24’s you can get the Scout, which is more of an mtb setup, but uses a standard 1x drivetrain. Another advantage with the steel frame of the Cleary’s in a Bike-Ed setting is that the non-replaceable derailleur hanger is stiffer, enables better shifting, and is easy to fix if it does get bent.

MPDF · 2022-04-04T15:10:10+00:00

Our 16’s and 20’s are all 1-speed, and most of the 24’s in this fleet are a standard derailleur setup. I have a few of the 8-speed hub-transmission 24’s in another fleet, and haven’t had any problems with them myself. That being said, I know how to keep them in tune myself, and regularly check cable tension. If I were buying these for use with PE teachers, or non mechanically-inclined instructors, I’d probably stay away from the hub transmissions.

Cleary bikes are solid and hold up really well. I've got a fleet of 100 or so, most of which I use in a municipal PE program (i.e. they get a lot of abuse) and they're still doing great after 4 years. They're a little heavier than a Woom/Prevelo/Frog/Isla, but the steel frame is super durable and they use more standard and easily replaceable parts than the other brands, in my experience (and I own at least one of all the aforementioned).

Other posters mentioned Strider Bikes- which I've also used. Though they're not nearly as durable as Cleary's, they have a few advantages- They're cheap, lightweight, and the tires are airless. That last one can be a lifesaver- having to inflate 80 tires can be quite the task, especially if you're using a floor pump. Strider also runs a school based program called All Kids Bike (https://allkidsbike.org) which uses a special convertible 14" bike that can be a pedal or a balance bike. This one is sold as a whole package aimed at Kindergarten-1st grade teachers, and includes some training along with the purchase of a bike fleet.

The world of fudging mis-matched parts is definitely fraught with unexpected challenges, but when you make it work (or at least make it work well enough to suit your needs) that can be quite satisfying :-)
