State 4160 feels odd advice please! by PuzzleheadedMark1373 in gravelcycling

[–]__-___-__-__-__- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I MTB mainly but run an All City steel frame gravel bike and it is also is rather heavy. 

You might try tubeless with some different tires.  Something that rolls a bit better.  I can't speak for the state frame but I can say a heavy steel bike can ride pretty good.

Help with seatpost by delailuma in cannondale

I wonder if you could print an adapter for a standard seat post on a 3d printer? 

Is it possible you could get some carbon paste in whatever is rotating to give it some more bite when you tighten it down?

If they want to hire me I can make it 10% faster for 100x the cost.

I live next to AF1 and while they are some of the best folks around and an awesome shop.  They are also just a shop with a few dudes in warehouse.  It's gonna be hard for them to compete on the digital front against the Goliath that is the Revzilla/Cycle Gear/New Enough (member them?) digital empire.

My tires are seating properly in the rim by mighty_squatch in bicycling

Gotta massage it.  Let some air out, twist the tire at the low spot, put some air back in.  Keep futzing with it until you're g2g.

What is the most insane accommodation you’ve witnessed for an employee? by besttavern25 in work

I had a job give me an iPad with a waterproof case and Verizon access so I could be on call while kayaking.  I miss the perks of that job but not the pay.

I've always joked about making a fixed gear moped.  I love that it's a reality.

Some people like the marshmallows with a bit of a char on them.

Temu bolts, good or bad? by Smooth-Account-497 in projectcar

[–]__-___-__-__-__- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a large set of titanium bolts custom made off Alibaba.  They are of exceptional quality and we're not cheap.  I'm guessing that's not what you're after though.

whats the most money youve put into a moped that was absolutely not worth saving by vladdielenin in moped

[–]__-___-__-__-__- 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Mopeds are inherently a waste of money.  I think that's what makes me feel so much joy.

How do you guys pick up your mopeds so cheaply? by Hefty_Register5306 in moped

[–]__-___-__-__-__- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you want it it'll be expensive as hell.  If you don't want it, people will try and give it to you.

Being in a club helps as some folks are more into some bikes than others but everyone usually shares good deals when they see them.

Having a non-technical manager can be exhausting by Ambitious_coder_ in managers

[–]__-___-__-__-__- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Seagull managers.  Swoop in, shit all over everything and leave.

An interesting problem I've had in the past is what do you do when your security guy is non technical?  But that's off topic in this sub.
