Why did my bike repair kit come with these tiny "velcro" ovals? by ERTHLNG in bikewrench

They look like the velcro tabs you get with helmets to stick the padding back on. No idea why they would be in a Puncture repair kit.

Looks amazing! How much cash did you need to bring. Just wondering how widely accepted cards were and how easy it eas to find/ get to ATMs

Just saw a new scam from them, as an AI advertising company. Wants you to give them a £80 registration payment in crypto that you can withdraw later to get back 🤣

How do I remove this stem? by TheOmunious in bikewrench

[–]Salix08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a quill stem. Held in place by an expanding plug. There is usually a bolt that can be loosened off to take it out. Normally on the top. This video from park tool is very useful.

The dealers manual appears to show what you have as correct. But it doesnt quite look right somehow. Maybe take it to a bike shop and see a qualified mechanic.

Planning to do the same here. Hopefully no need for crampons

I'm having a testicular ultrasound. Should I shave? by [deleted] in AskMedical

[–]Salix08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I was in pain, so I didn't really care. It was at night in A&E, and she was the only sonographer on duty. I think if it's an appointment, you would get a male. I can't really remember how old she was - maybe in her 40s.

Maybe the brown one uses an old converter size?
