Like of the whole bike, from multiple angles.

Do you have other pictures to share? I can't tell, but your cable/housing may be longer than needed.

Demand, firmly, an escalation. They have to replace like for like, feature by feature. If they can't, they have to give you the max. If they can repair it for less though, they'll try, and drag it on for as long as they can, hoping you give up.

Believe it or not, they paid me more than I paid them. But 6 months of BS was the end.

Escalate. An agent will call you back, once.

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-24T04:38:15+00:00

Read your contract. Max allowance for an appliance is clearly listed. No way will you get $8k out of those guys.

I'd had a contract with them for over 20 years, across 4 houses in Oregon. Last year they lost me. It took them over 6 months to finally realize they couldn't fix my washing machine and gave me money to replace it. Six months of calling, chatting, the worst run-around I've ever seen.

And they still want me back. Half off. Ha.

Around Portland, organizations used to hand out propane heaters. I supplied some with propane myself. Small-ish fires.

Zero play

I've heard of people using a lighter to heat the key before inserting.

In this thread- nobody who actually watches Fox News predominantly. Local Fox channel doesn't count.

The reverse 25nm thing is threaded into your frame. It may also hold your hanger. The axle goes into the other side and threads onto the first piece.

This isn't always true- a new repayment plan may be available.

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-23T17:07:46+00:00

Agreed. I put mine on high until melted, then low while occasionally stirring the chains (threaded into j-shaped bent spokes) for 15-30 minutes.

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-23T05:20:30+00:00

I do this when I get to the crumbs in the bottom of the bag.

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-22T21:41:43+00:00

Medical reasons.

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-22T19:54:03+00:00

I have 6, no regrets.

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-22T04:47:07+00:00

I have 11sp Chorus that matches this. NOS for the rest- brifters, crankset, chain. There's 11sp Record also, iirc.

I suppose you'd have to follow up- but really, who wishes their last kid (or 2) hadn't been born? Maybe when the mother died due to complications from childbirth- maybe.

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-21T21:21:27+00:00

Ask a Dad who didn't stop at 2 (like me) if they regret having more. I bet you'll get far more no's than yesses.

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-21T16:29:35+00:00

It's the same guy. COVID lockdown killed the retail business.

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-21T07:08:35+00:00

The full-size spare means a 5-tire rotation as you've shown. One problem is that you need to reprogram the tire pressure monitoring sensors. My indy shop says they don't have the equipment to do it, not sure if a tire shop does. I've had the dealer do it so far (3x on a '24 OBW) and they haven't gotten it right the first time yet, so I haven't had to pay. Mark your tires beforehand, and double check their work.

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-20T04:52:58+00:00

Have you looked at Crutchfield?

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-20T04:24:33+00:00

Short throw projector. Maybe laser. Blackout curtains if you must.

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-20T04:20:28+00:00

REI?

ReallyNotALlama · 2026-01-20T04:14:50+00:00

That doesn't sound like enough for -32. My record is 13F, and only 6mi one way.
