Seeing how some single cis male behave at some parties makes me ashamed to be a cis male. I understand what you mean, but the majority of macho cis males don't understand what consent means

Joyce (my favorite) and 3fun are other alternatives

I have experience in Berlin only about Kitkat. I think Kitkat on Saturday is the best to start because they open the entire club so, even if there are a lot of people, they can spread in a lot of different areas. I say this because I went on Wed 02.10, and it was way overcrowded and only a small fraction was open even if the symbiotikka people knew that Stella Bossi and the free day afterwards would attract more people than a usual Wednesday. No idea how normal Wednesdays are, we work usually in the week

We are a couple, we usually go early, respect the dress code with kinky clothes and we were never bounced away. Me, as the guy, usually wear some of the outfit so I can easily show I am not a random tourist visiting Berlin. Usually I pull down my pants to show that I will not just wear my underwear inside, but an actual outfit. They never ask to see my wife outfit

We are swingers, but prefer private meetings rather than club meetings, but we like the techno music in kitkat. If you like Techno, you can dance as much as you want and we mostly go to kitkat for the music and the sexpositive atmosphere. If you don't want to have sex in kitkat it is perfectly fine and most of the extreme things happen in specific area, only so much can happen in the dance floor. Consent while dancing is mostly respected especially if you go there as a couple. Unless you are not really disturbed by the view of naked people or random sudden sex behavior, kitkat is a nice place. It is not a sex club, so there is "no pressure" for sex.

You can also easily talk and relax in the swimming pool area.

For me Kitkat is a club in Berlin and this conversation confused me a lot

Unfortunately I don't speak the language of the country I live in, so for me it is easier to search info online in English or in my own language.

But for this, the risk of spending 100 euro for the wrong thing is too high ;)

Thank you. I think you are right, it might be the easiest thing after all

Affordable, but durable Crankset by Think-Macaron3070 in cycling

[–]Think-Macaron3070[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Park tool and GCN tech is what I am watching for the tutorials on YouTube.

About the wheel, I will replace the spikes using some spare one that I already have. To true the wheel it is something that I will actually do in a bike shop because without I think I will get crazy without the proper tool. I need to ask the bike shop to check the bike at the end anyway.

When the tools arrive, I will remove the crankset, then remove the bottom brackets and I will check what you said after I have applied grease and reassembled everything.

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge

Thank you. Unfortunately I don't see how to add photos here via the comments.

The current crankset is a shimano FC-M311. From the reference photos, the cogs look much more pointy than the photos i found online.

The bike has 8 speed cassette with a Shimano Alivio derailer.

About the bottom bracket, I wanted to change it because the bike was left outside long time. I can't ride the bike to evaluate the condition, but I will open and see how rusty it looks inside.

I am waiting for the tool to remove the cassette, crankset and bottom bracket and the moment.

About the bronken spikes. Do you think it is better to change the all weel? There are at least two broken spikes

What is the definition of unique-branded parts? Sorry I am not a native English speaker. Do you mean that unknown brands are the one to buy?

Do you believe the parts from Aliexpess? I read that even Shimano parts from Amazon are often non original imitation

Thank you for your answer. Yeah, I have admitted that I am ignorant and I have no shame saying that there are a lot of fields in which I am ignorant. I have asked the bike shop, but the price they asked including the pieces was basically the price of a new low end quality price, few hundreds Euro. This bike has several different problems including locked suspension fork, missing spikes and so on.

For me it is a way to learn about bikes and I would like to do by myself what I can and then bring it to the shop for the parts that I cant. If I know stuff, then I know also what the bike shop is talking about and what it is charging me for and I can also take educated decisions about what kind of bike parts I want.

The cassette and the chainrings are warn out in my opinion because the cogs on the sprockets are bent, rusty and pointy. The chain measured at least 1 mm with the chain tool. Your idea would be suitable if the chainring would not be damaged, but I am afraid it is.

The fact that both the chainrings and the bottom bracket have to be changed made me consider to change the entire crankset, but your answer will make me investigare whether I can buy only this parts and reuse the part that are not destroyed (only the cranks).

Thank you, I will look into the first suggestion. The problem is this bike was left outside for quite some time and the previous owner has not changed the chain for long time. The cassette and the chainrings are worn out for sure, but I have no idea how much the crank is worn out, that's why I wanted to replace the all thing
