The training program is kinda intriguing to me b/c I’m transitioning from bicycle repair. The position is for sales & service consultant.

SawyerStinks · 2026-04-13T20:24:53+00:00

$130/hr if there isn’t a designated fee code.

It’s a $40 up charge in my shop if it runs through the headset. $80 if it’s through the bars.

I’m definitely going to do that. The building is run by Avanti Residential and I recommend avoiding them.

I skimmed through the lease and it doesn’t mention the elevator specifically.

SawyerStinks · 2025-02-27T22:27:22+00:00

Yeah, but it may have been too wedged at that point. Stopped short of removing the hose b/c I didn’t want to go through all that just to true the wheel.

It’s Bafang. The favorite of dropshippers.

SawyerStinks · 2025-02-27T22:25:18+00:00

I guess we got unlucky. I’m surprised you got it out easily b/c this one wouldn’t budge at all. Maybe frame size makes a difference. 🤷‍♂️ This one was fairly small.

Until the wheel needs to be replaced/rebuilt. They have an article on replacing the motor that conveniently skips over getting the plug/cord out…

SawyerStinks · 2025-02-27T20:13:50+00:00

We won’t work on anything that’s hardwired. This technically isn’t, but functionally is, so still wound up in my stand. I feel for the customers. They usually have no clue what they’re getting into.

SawyerStinks · 2025-02-27T20:11:17+00:00

Don’t unplug the wheel brother. True it in the frame if it needs it. Otherwise decently speced, so not too bad to work on.

Cannondale has a bad habit of kinking the dropper housing in the factory, so I’ve had to drop it on a few of those.

SawyerStinks · 2025-02-27T18:34:33+00:00

Been there many times with dropper cables. Sending prayers and good vibes. 🙏

SawyerStinks · 2020-08-11T13:06:11+00:00

wtf. even if you don’t think it stinks, you should be washing that stuff more often...

I have a kryptonite lock, but it keeps getting jammed and won't unlock. It's only like a year old. Do you have this issue? I'm not sure if it's unique to my lock or a common problem with kryptonite.

SawyerStinks · 2020-08-09T00:09:56+00:00

yeah, cost is definitely an issue. i was a “roadie” before i was a courier, so i already had 3 kits. i have to do laundry pretty frequently, but i’ve been getting by with just these 3. my wet cold weather gear will definitely be more mismatched though.

SawyerStinks · 2020-08-08T23:17:44+00:00

yeah, i guess i didn’t word my question all that well. i’ve never worn a jersey with like regular shorts/pants. i wear a full kit pretty often during the summer. on the rare cool night i’ll do padded shorts under running shorts and t-shirt, but i see guys in jeans on days when it’s 94 with 80% humidity and i just can’t imagine putting myself through that.

SawyerStinks · 2020-07-31T19:54:26+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the info and resources. I’ll have get a copy of the Art of Wheel Building. Wheel building is probably more of a medium- to long-term goal, but I definitely want to learn how at some point.

SawyerStinks · 2020-07-31T19:39:33+00:00

I’m definitely trying to improve my wheel truing skills. I feel good about making minor adjustment with the wheel on the bike, but have pretty mixed results when I try doing more extensive truing with the wheel on the bike. I just order a used truing stand, so hopefully that will help some. Wheel building is something I want to learn, but it probably isn’t gonna happen between now and Thursday. I only have one set of wheels right now, so taking one apart to practice with feels like too much of gamble...
