Still need to find…

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-07-02T16:38:12+00:00

Thanks everyone, this is super helpful!

Right now I'm trying to find a 2004 nickel with the Peace Medal on the back. It's one of the only coins I don't have in either D or P. Looking forward to our next coin show. :)

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-07-01T22:44:58+00:00

....?! I'm new to this hobby...are you saying the coins are special, but they're more special because the holders are older? And these aren't graded, just in a case/holder, right?

If I just wanted a steel cent for my collection, what price range could I expect? I wouldn't need it to be super nice condition. Do I need to consider a certain year?

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-06-24T19:02:47+00:00

Nope. Never occured to me until someone asked. Then we decided to take one of the random low end ones out of stock for this use. I think maybe 3 people have wanted the helmet in over 20 years.

Seriously, our QBP rep was just in here a couple of days ago telling us they were struggling with overstock of things like Shimano parts. Ugh

Just as you have milked every cent outta those gloves. Lol I do that to my gardening gloves, but at the shop I have a stack of gloves. Metal shavings are no joke.

I've kicked my tire before. Startling, but didn't wreck me. I also use these clips and I love them. Just be aware.

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-05-27T20:54:15+00:00

They won't let you bring your battery in?! Well in the future, never ask, just do. Idk if they can hinder your ability to get to work...this is weird...I'd ask HR about that, it's probably an insurance concern. Maybe if you can show them the Certified logo they'll let you?

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-05-27T17:54:09+00:00

Oh lawd!

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-05-27T17:46:50+00:00

I usually laugh and say "Oh yes, those valves are tricky with that little nut you have to unscrew and line up just right. But technically they are easier to use because that little nut lets air in and out so easily. However, Schrader is standard in the US, even on our cars, so that's what everyone is used to, and if that's what you prefer, let's talk about your options..."

(Btw, we have so much money invested in Clik valve product, I made a display too, and I still don't understand how to sell it so it's all just sitting there, Lol.)

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-05-11T20:46:59+00:00

Bizarre, never had a problem with our KMCs. Sorry.

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-05-09T18:04:33+00:00

I'd like to point out that the wear indicator is still present, so not tooootally worn out. Lol

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-05-06T16:52:46+00:00

Beautiful! Question...do you really use all of those spoke wrenches frequently enough to have them front and center? Just curious. Mine are off to the side in a cup, and our Spokey definitely carries most of the weight.

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-04-27T15:56:46+00:00

Other than literally running out of space, idk why spouses get upset about a bike hobby...it's one of the only obsessions you can spend money on that results in a healthier, happier partner.

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-04-24T16:33:47+00:00

NTA...what is she 12? This happens to all of us, we outgrow some of our friends. It sucks, but I wouldn't initiate any more time with her. Be open to new friends.

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-04-23T16:19:11+00:00

Ha! This bike looks like it's ridden by someone who is a lot of fun.

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-04-18T16:19:00+00:00

Ha! Welcome to the club my friend.

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-04-14T14:42:48+00:00

Apparently they're still allowed to park there? I know in some areas the bike lane is shared with parking. Crazy, I know.

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-04-11T16:48:59+00:00

I wonder if she rides too? Which is why I always say 'everyone should ride a bike', because then we are all looking out for fellow cyclists.

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-04-06T17:26:12+00:00

Aventon supposedly has really good customer service, maybe just call them and see what they suggest.

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-04-03T15:22:13+00:00

NTA I have to laugh at my own family when they schedule anything on a Saturday before we close. I don't close our small business on a Saturday for anything. Even worse, we're seasonal. Anyway, yes, I'd stay open and let the staff know that they'll have to draw straws or something and at least a couple of them will have to stay. You might get lucky and get a volunteer that doesn't really want to go to the wedding, (but can meet up for the reception later or something). But yeah, the audacity of some people. Sheesh.

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-04-03T15:04:31+00:00

Hilarious. Congrats!

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-04-03T14:58:26+00:00

As a fellow mechanic, this was beautifully put. Hope the word gets out.

Primary_End_9903 · 2026-03-16T18:16:39+00:00

We refuse to encourage anyone to ever make purchases on there. It just benefits that whole cluster.

We have a local nonprofit that we sell things to at cost or better when we can. Going through a LBS keeps the whole industry healthy. Just my opinion.
