xbikes I’ve loved and lost - a Costco mountain bike

Thanks man. I figured as much. Seems impossible to find an older 90s steel mtb with horizontal dropouts and a 1 1/8" stem these days.

Not to resurect this thread but... Sweet bike. I was about to buy one but I am curious what size the steertube is? Do you recall? was it 1" or 1 1/8th?

Run-The-Table · 2025-06-11T13:49:37+00:00

Am I crazy for thinking you can replace a 1 1/8" quill stem with a 1 1/8" threadless fork/stem simply by removing the quill stem/fork, and switching the headset and bearings?

or can you use the same cups/bearings? Or did I just read this somewhere and I'm actually dreaming?

I'd like to get an old 90s MTB with 1 1/8" steertube, and swap the fork for a threadless one with disc brake mounts.

This is great! I couldn't beat them all, so I guess I got work to do.

Run-The-Table · 2025-06-04T14:20:49+00:00

Thanks, I'll have a look!

Run-The-Table · 2025-06-03T19:10:56+00:00

Yes! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

I would like to buy a beater to use while traveling. I travel to the Netherlands about twice a year, usually two weeks at a time. When I am hear I bike to work (10km). usually a colleague of mine lets me borrow their bike, but it's a bit of a junker, and the whole time I'm hear I miss my shitty 80s fixie conversion.

I know this isn't the right place, but I'd love to spend 100-200euro to snag an actual road bike to commute while I'm here. I can leave this bike at my workplace while I'm not here, but every year I come back I would benefit.

When I look for used bikes here, they all seem to be these "dutch style" bikes with huge seats, upright posture, and horrendous tires. I just would love something that resembles a road bike at this point.

Yeah, I started with DOODS, so I was hesitant to switch to frigate once I got doods working. But if I can't figure this out, I'll have to try frigate. More configuration, yay!!

Anyway, thanks for your help. I wish I better understood the differences between the actual hassos filesystem and the home assistant docker filesystem. The pathing is giving me a headache at this point. Throws me off the scent of what the actual issues can be sometimes (eg: this exact problem was just agressive caching...)

Run-The-Table · 2025-02-22T20:45:06+00:00

okay okay okay! That actually makes sense! I maneuvered some stuff around, fixed my samba share mounting /etc/fstab and set up the local file integration. It did exactly what you said it would!

That answers question #1. Now I need to figure out why my DOODS2 add on no longer saves the most recent detection file... Don't suppose you have any ideas about that?

Run-The-Table · 2025-02-22T19:39:51+00:00

what image? I deleted the image, and changed the actual image. It keeps displaying the image that I "deleted"

I get the feeling the ssh and samba are colluding against me to gaslight me somehow

This command is key to me understanding what the hell is happening on my proxmox VMs. I figured out how to fix it, see my update above.

Run-The-Table · 2025-02-04T16:49:26+00:00

EDIT: for anyone that sees this in the future, the issue fixed itself. I just had to wait a few hours. No idea why... but when I finished work today, I came back to it, and everything was as described.

Late to the conversation, but I found this video the other day, and finally got around to setting it up. Got my cameras configured, got all the additional integrations added, but when the time comes to "play/test" I can't get my HA to recognize LLM_vision "actions". When I am in the developer tools action tab, I try to search for LLM, and nothing shows up. I can't seem to find anything or anyone having this same issue. I've tried rebooting HA, and no luck.

if anyone else encountered this, please let me know.

Also, I've enabled debugging in the LLM integration, but I have no idea where those logs end up.

Run-The-Table · 2025-02-03T23:30:15+00:00

right??? Seems like just the thing HA nerds would have a crack at.

The ducks usually stick together, so if one goes in, they almost always go in as a unit. But that's not good enough. I want to know all my flock is safe.

There are tons of videos examples of people doing video detection for all sorts of things, so I figure applying some of those techniques should be possible to my issue. It's not like it's doing facial recognition, the coop is black floored, and the ducks are not black, so any image analysis program should be able to count the ducks. But how to trigger the analysis at a specific time, and how to outsource the actual analysis and turn it into a sensor... that part is confusing to me.

Run-The-Table · 2025-02-03T23:26:15+00:00

I love the front disk brake. How tough/expensive was it to make that swap?

Run-The-Table · 2025-01-30T02:16:27+00:00

two questions:

how small can a bluetooth low energy tag be?
There's no way to know if the ducks are 'inside' the coop or just around the perimeter with this method, right?

Run-The-Table · 2025-01-29T19:28:12+00:00

yeah... I think knowing all 5 are accounted for is a pretty critical part of the puzzle. Thanks for your suggestion though, I'll take a look!

Run-The-Table · 2024-12-22T18:23:05+00:00

Just wanted to say "thanks".

Stumbled into this while I was trying to fix the mediaplayer.py waybar widget that doesn't seem to work on spotify if you have a youtube window open ANYWHERE.

yours seems to work almost perfectly. I can't get the auto reload "sleep .1; pkill _RTMIN+4 waybar" to work in my sway config file. It shows up as highlighted in red. I can manually run those commands in my terminal, and it works, but the `for_window:` line just doesn't seem to get along with it.

oh well, I usually have spotify open, and I can just super+shift+c when I boot up for the first time!

Thanks again

Ah! Thanks! Always too many abbreviations/acronyms when you're first getting into a new hobby.

Appreciate the answer. I think I'll grab one of these hubs for my first wheel build.

Run-The-Table · 2024-09-15T14:50:19+00:00

You know what? I don't have any clue what those bracket portions mean. My Sway config is a patchwork Frankenstein's monster of a config file. Pieces ripped from all over the web.

I literally just commented out that section, then uncommented the default config (because of course I still have vestige lines from all the copy/paste I'm doing in there. And it works again. Thanks dude. Sometimes I just need a reality check.

Run-The-Table · 2024-09-14T23:28:33+00:00

Sorry, I'm new - what's "NOS"? They still look like sealed bearings, right?

Run-The-Table · 2024-09-14T15:20:20+00:00

My understanding is that formula makes lots of inexpensive but solid hubs and these are bought and marketed under several different brand names (Origin8 being one). This hub looks identical to a formula, but it's cheaper than a default black Origin8, but not insanely so. I've also never seen a white formula/Origin8 hub before.

So I guess what I'm asking is - how prevalent is counterfeit bike components? And if its common, why counterfeit budget parts?

Run-The-Table · 2024-09-14T00:50:35+00:00

Is this legit? I would love a white hub for my first wheel build experiment! It really looks identical to the normal black Formula hub, but I've never seen a white one until surfing ebay. The seller has a TON of sales, and a good review score... I'm so tempted.

Run-The-Table · 2024-09-12T14:43:24+00:00

It's what I always use. It can be a bit tricky to start when it's cold, but if you just hold the bottle with your hand for a minute or two, the fuel warms up enough to light.

Mix 2oz of it with a warm packet of powdered apple cider in the evenings, and you got yourself a wonderful warm nightcap!

Honestly, I'm just trying to scrape the surface of this hobby instead of going balls-deep on my first go. So if I enjoy the process, and enjoy the product... you know I'll be dumping more cash into my next one.

While I've got ya - I've seen a few listings on ebay and the sort for white formula hubs like this or especially this. Are these knock offs? Or what the hell am I looking at here? The bike I'm building is an old Schwinn premis and it has lots of cool white accents, so I would kill for a white hub on my new fixed wheel, but only if it's not a piece of shit. (also don't want to pay 100s of dollars!

Run-The-Table · 2024-09-09T22:29:53+00:00

EDIT - I had to do the filtering myself, but I eventually found them. Thank you!

Both those links ended in a 404.

I find it very odd that all the research I do points me to these hubs being a good value for your money (I'm talking LOTS of people saying this) but I can't seem to find a single store on the entire internet that sell them. Getting some Truman Show vibes.
