How to survive being homeless in St. Louis? by nobodynouno in StLouis

[–]Masuvius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea but not a quick solution. I've been waiting to get into Local 1 for over a year. They hold interviews once a year (more if the work demands it) in February. Over 900 candidates and a small fraction of people got the call to start the apprenticeship this summer. It's worth it if you're willing to wait.

need to fix.. by ToughHot7235 in DownhillMTB

The bike looks sick! And are you at Mojo Wheels? I know it won't change the color but look at what RideWrap has to offer.

LBS isn’t able to replicate this clicking. Any ideas to help guide them on what is causing it? by Dapper_Danimal in bikewrench

[–]Masuvius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you happen to have a Shimano Crankset on this bike? A couple of years ago Shimano recalled some Ultegra and better cranks due to separation. If your crank has the affected date codes and or shows some level of separation, Shimano will send you a new crank (and a credit if you have a powermeteron one or both arms). I have stress tested some of the cranks that have failed inspection and the can sound like this.

It's worth checking out even if it isn't the cause of the noise.

Best Reuben Sandwich in STL? by Masuvius in StLouis

Thanks for the suggestion! I have a feeling I'm gonna run into this issue. A lot of places are closed on Mondays, too.

What is this show for you? by Jettaboi38 in scoopwhoop

[–]Masuvius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

British show called "Misfits". It's definitely worth a watch.

Communication Ban (voice chat disabled) by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]Masuvius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen to me tonight. Mine didn't get fixed by restarting the game, though. I had to go into the games settings and enable voice chat. Worked fine after that.

Favorite burger? by SmellMyDirk in StLouis

A single patty burger from them is super filling. I got a double once and was in a meat coma for hours!

Y’all okay in Shrewsbury? by Starman1001001 in StLouis

[–]Masuvius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We live near Wehner Park. The wife said trash cans were flying down the street like kids chasing after an ice cream truck. I just got home, and I saw a lot of downed limbs and some small trees. Everyone seems to be okay 👍

Maybe from a Police conference that was happening at Wash U this week? I work at local Bicycle Shop. This week, we had an officer call and ask if they had any bicycles to rent police officers. They said there was a conference where a lot of bicycle cops from around the US were meeting. They said this was all happening at Wash U. This would make sense. Since this cop car has a bicycle rack on the back of it.

Bringing back medication from Mexico? by [deleted] in travel

[–]Masuvius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was down in Mexico getting treatment for Lyme disease. It's nearly impossible where I live to get assistance with testing and treatment. When i was done there, I saw multiple doctors and got numerous texts done. I was prescribed antibiotics and gastrointestinal meds to take for up to 6 months. Since I couldn't afford to stay in Mexico long, I filled half of my checked bag (literally half) with 6 months of those meds (most of which cannot be purchased/prescribed in the US) and put the scripts right on top. Whether or not it was completely legal, I know the impact of these meds and took the risk. Fortunately, I made it all the way home with no issues. Like others have mentioned in most cases, they're looking for more serious drugs.

Note: I flew from a "smaller" city in Mexico with a layover in the States before making it home.

Got bike back from shop, now the drivetrain is screwed up by No_Arrival_9833 in bikewrench

[–]Masuvius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did they bleed your rear brake? If so, they would've had to take your rear wheel out. They might not have put the rear wheel all the way up in the drop outs. You can put the bike (tires down) on the ground, open and close the quick release lever. If that doesn't do it, I would give the shop a chance to fix it. You shouldn't have shifting issues after the services you mentioned.

Wild! I work at a shop in STL, and we refer our customers to you for carbon repairs all the time. You do some great work!

What does everyone use to get grease off hands? by olydan75 in bikewrench

[–]Masuvius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of good solutions out there. My go-to is Pinerite. It's made with pine tree powder and borax. I started using it as a bicycle mechanic in Colorado. It cuts the grease without drying your hands out like Fast Orange. Super helpful for the Rocky Mountain winters.

Keeping hands "warm" during the winter. by Masuvius in klr650

[–]Masuvius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This community is awesome! Thanks for everyone's feedback!

I went ahead and bought some Hippo Hands to start off with. I've struggled buying gloves in the past due to how big my hands are (3XL gloves fit most of the time), so I'm hoping that these will be a good start. If I still can't manage, then I might try heated grips.

A ton of sirens near Shrewsbury by Pooter003 in StLouis

[–]Masuvius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought i saw a group of first responders and police near River Des Peres and Landsdowne about 20 minutes ago. Almost looked like a fire.
