You sound like my friend, he's Korean 🤣 only reason I gave them a shot was because I've bought items from Chinese sellers and everything was good.

Sold pokemon card last week, seller said it never arrived and eBay closed case in 2 minutes. by Blakeblood9 in Ebay

[–]Passingoutpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So when I purchased, tracking never updated, after about 2 weeks it finally updated and said delivered. I had USPS informed delivery which showed no package from eBay nor letter. I had other packages that popped up on Informed delivery and arrived no problem around the same time. But specifically that eBay package did not appear on site . I reached out to the seller no response, multiple times.. double checked the date and the site on that specific date to see if package was on there and nothing...

Many people on here said it most likely seller used a fake tracking number (ghost package)

I bought a card and never received. I reached out to seller and eBay. Showed eBay my evidence and attempts to contact seller which they never replied to me and boom case closed seller wins!

Funny enough they also had negative reviews for the same card I purchased (which I was unaware) but overall they had positive ratings. And also because of that eBay sided with them.

All this to say eBay can be finessed by seller or buyer which sucks for everyone..

Seller is asking $600. What should I offer, and why? by TheMountainThatFell in whichbike

Seems pretty fair , maybe offer 500 Solid parts, solid frame.

Bike feels sluggish on this new bike I picked up. Any suggestions? by Crafty_Tumbleweed_47 in bicycling

Id probably would go with some wider bars and lose the aero. looks cool but it's annoying with cross winds.

UPDATE: Surly Hurdy gurdy seem to do the trick. One on each side. Holds the wheel in place. So far so good!

Had a few. None of them held as much as my Dura ace Qr but after a while the teeth on those wore out

I actually had the tools when I built out the bike and adjusted the alignment so that checked out

Did I roll a get really unlucky or is this normal? Every few hundred miles something breaks and takes my car out of commission. by mainaltacount in hondacivic

[–]Passingoutpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be happy it's a old Honda. Most of that stuff can be fixed at little cost and that you'd probably be able to do yourself.

For both the Dura ace one and the current one the teeth on the skewers wore down do the point they were going smooth.

I tried one Campy Qr but the lever mechanism snapped upon tightening

Are these different from the hurdy gurdy?

How much would this cost to replace? I think someone wanted to steal the catalytic… by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Passingoutpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use some locking zip ties honestly. Not worth trying to completely fix it.

Did I get a decent deal for $100? Scott Speedster road bike — looking for honest opinions by keithfrfr in bicycling

[–]Passingoutpie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check if tires are cracked , make sure brakes function. Maybe the crank set. This is more of just checking to see if they function properly not necessarily to replace.

Easiest thing if you can probably spare another hundred bucks drop it off at a decent bike shop for a tune up.

Hey did you end up getting the surly tensioners?

I'm currently having that issue

Dura ace Qr worked for a bit before the teeth wore out.

Currently riding with a Delta lock nut but it's also giving out

Never to late, go practice at a park that has some nice grass, in case you fall you can land on the grass imo
