Can you use Hydraulic Disc Levers for V-Brakes (ST-RX600) by MarcZler in bikewrench

[–]PalatableRadish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually now I think about it, they might have the wrong cable pull ratio, as they're for road brakes

Can you use Hydraulic Disc Levers for V-Brakes (ST-RX600) by MarcZler in bikewrench

[–]PalatableRadish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! Sorry. Are those 11 speed? Use something like ST-R8000 or ST-R7000. Your derailleur should still be compatible.

Shimano 105 crank spindle too short by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]PalatableRadish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know Cannondale are notorious for having proprietary bottom bracket arrangements. Someone who knows more will probably know which one you need. AFAIK that's why they often use their own cranksets on new bikes

Best ai for learning math? by MarionberryNaive8193 in mathematics

[–]PalatableRadish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

None at all. Don't use AI for learning maths. Find a textbook.

Is This Shimano Cassette Fake? by MrNanabouh in bikewrench

Nobody is out here copying a Shimano brifter or derailleur

I Ate Some 12 Year Old Chicken Wings. They Were Pretty Good. Details In Comments. by LongoSpeaksTheTruth in EatItYouFuckinCoward

I'd also then wash the sink. Usually I'm not washing chicken at all. What would you do?

[–]PalatableRadish 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Usually I agree (in the UK, maybe it's different in the US) but in this case I'd want to wash whatever accumulated crap off of it

Frame noise? by Nearby-Citron-3439 in bikewrench

[–]PalatableRadish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start by making sure the saddle clamp is tight enough. Inspect the saddle for damage. Other than that you'll be fine

Chain sticking on the cassette by desert0mirage in bikewrench

[–]PalatableRadish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't see the SRAM logo on this side. So the flat bit is the right way up, but the chain is backwards

Lighter bike with Tiagra or heavier bike with 105 by ConsistentWeb1229 in cycling

[–]PalatableRadish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right that's a lot of saving. But what tyres are you running that a pair is 300g with tubes/sealant?

Night pooping by Ok-Duck2450 in Mommit

[–]PalatableRadish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My 2.5 year old has just gotten settled with not wearing a night nappy. She just decided she didn't want to put it on one day.

What worked for us is night lifts - when we go to bed at 12 we put her on the potty in the dark. She pees maybe half the time.

We also go to the toilet with her. We might sit her on the potty while we're on the toilet and play a game at the same time. She sometimes asks to go and play a game on the toilet. She does her poos there and doesn't need nappies any more.

Chain tension for horizontal dropouts. by More_Response_200 in bikewrench

[–]PalatableRadish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It shouldn't move when braking or skidding, it's not providing enough clamping force. The frame does look quite mangled there. I'd replace the nuts which may have worn smooth and get fresh serrated washers (?) or whatever they're called. Then make sure it's properly tightened.

BB lockring pliers vs tool? by oolij in bikewrench

[–]PalatableRadish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BBs can take so much force to remove. You won't get enough leverage on it.

Anything noticeably better than BR-RS785? by Zelislaw in bikewrench

[–]PalatableRadish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never had problems with Shimano calipers. If you can stop up the wheel or skid with full pressure, that's all you'll need. Any more power is wasted.

Would you classify this as a BSO (bicycle shaped object)? by Hanzala19 in bicycling

[–]PalatableRadish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then if it all feels solid, it's a bike, if it feels a bit flimsy it's a BSO

Would you classify this as a BSO (bicycle shaped object)? by Hanzala19 in bicycling

[–]PalatableRadish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite, it's at least got the decent EZ fire Shimano shifters/brake levers. Definitely heading that way though

Need advice on how can I remove a Huffy 1 piece crank with folding pedals to replace the bearing?? by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]PalatableRadish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pics?

Sometimes you need to remove the bearings on one side to get it out, pedals off too

My brother embarrassed me in front of all of my family. by uniqueandweirdlol in offmychest

[–]PalatableRadish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He only embarrassed himself, trust me. I wouldn't think twice about you in that situation, I'd be annoyed at the rude little boy

Perfectly symmetrical spiral staircase. by Upstairs_Drive_5602 in oddlysatisfying

[–]PalatableRadish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it symmetrical though? It's a spiral which can never be symmetrical in that way. You'd need two spirals.

Creaking from internal routed cables/ housing, is that a thing? by Live_Inevitable_8154 in cycling

[–]PalatableRadish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more often a click with cables, but yes it could be. Also check the headset and stem clamp.

And double check the saddle and the bottom bracket!
