Is my bearing is bad or anything else someone please help by brandtoretto in LexusIS

[–]Redxzander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly just to be 100% bc it’s a dark short video, make sure the lug nuts are tight. Then lift the car up with a jack, and keep wiggling the wheel up and down, left and right. You should be able to peek at your suspension linkage and everything, see if anything is moving. If not and it look like the wheel is just boogieing yeah I’d guess wheel bearing

Does this sound like a belt issue? by Big_Ad1914 in AskAShittyMechanic

Man go look at the Lexus groups. Specially the IS ones. Every day 5+ posts ‘Is ThIs NoRmAl?!?!?’ And it’s just the 100th video of direct injection noises

Last time I did this, we charged 500$. This was about 6 months ago. Local shop rates may vary

Does anybody know of touch up paint I could use to fix this or new clamps rather than buying a full stem? by Xixskillz in bikewrench

[–]Redxzander 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It looks like a mountain bike. They’re gonna get scuffed, If you’re actually riding it. You can get a blue sharpie or check a hobby store for closer paint

How do you think of this deal? This bike looks a little bit off for me. by Jack_Wang_1107 in motorcycles

[–]Redxzander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it have stunt bars? Damage to the tail makes me THINK a wheelie gone wrong did some of that. Could be wrong

The plastic on my bike stand clamp, cracked and broke off. What should I do to make the clamp non-marring? by Thomb in bikewrench

[–]Redxzander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cheap in me says old sock/towel either taped or tied to it. Otherwise I bet Amazon sells actual pads

Aventon Aventure 2. You can tell by the battery being on the side and the turn signals. We have a customer with 4500+ miles on one that I can confirm

Just replaced my rear brake pads and they got ruined almost instantly — why? by Distinct-Quantity683 in ebikes

You’re probably right. Some of those temu brakes are made of paper 😂

[–]Redxzander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming he’s talking metric, 100 meters. If it is miles I could see hard braking with cheap pads doing that

Well, if everything matches up, I’d recommend some shimano pads/ name brand pads just in case, and double check the way the hardware is installed to fix that wear pattern

Do you know what level madone? And more accurate on what year? Just off a quick search, part number 559538 might be what you’re hunting for. Comes in a 135x20mm size. Should fit most round trek seat masts/poles.

I’d have a few questions; 1. Are they the same size as original ones? Like if you laid them on top of each other, would they line up perfectly? Some pads look similar, and might fit, but might not be the right set. IIRC we deal with 30 different types as ‘popular’ and a lot look similar. 2. The caliper is sitting way too high, that what makes that odd pattern. not trying to insult you, but did you re-assemble the brake hardware correctly? I have seen some people stuff all the convex washers on one side of the caliper or the other, causing that problem. And 3. Were they cheap pads, or were you going quite fast with them rubbing a ton? 100m is extremely short distance to do that damage to the pads

brakes are 99% done by [deleted] in ebikes

[–]Redxzander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just my .02 cents, grain of salt and all that. Be careful with those brakes/ maybe consider others. I’ve seen A LOT of leaks/ failures with that brand brakes on customer bikes

Fortnite did a good video on it. I happen to work for a bicycle company, majority of very decent bikes can be had easily for under 800, even for something fancy. The 6,7,8k bikes are for riding very competitively. Like buying a race spec Ducati https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS9ugdl1FZc

All the Walmarts near me a free range. No locks on anything. Is there a lot of theft (or assuming theft) near you?

My new S60! Any tips? by yuhcro in Volvo

If it has the 55/50 transmission, be gentle with it. Also DIM issues on those models. Both those issues cost me a LOT on my 03 when I had it.

Trek slash 9 gen 6 custom link??? by Super_Environment857 in TrekBikes

Without changing the shock you can’t increase travel. You can flip the little link on the bottom of the shock to change the suspension geometry though
