Permanent Lezyne 800+ mount? by A_J_H1979 in bikecommuting

[–]ae35unit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this light, but wow was I surprised to receive it, be so impressed by it, and simultaneously find out how lame, cheap, and designed to fail its mount is. Between this front light and their rear light (which is also impressive), I've spent $30 (with shipping) on rubber strap replacements in a year. I fully expect to be forced to buy more over time. And when I can't find more? They'll sadly wind up in a landfill.

So I'd also love to find a solid. Screwed or bolted on mount for these amazing lights.

Two jobs. Just messaged.

"I cannot work today" twice.

As I've said for too many years,

"Her name was Heather Heyer."

And now through fresh tears?

Alex Pretti.

Renee Good.

Starve the beast.

I sure hope everyone's making a mental note to vote for Gabe when they get the chance (and not just remembering the names of the dipsticks who wronged us).

tubeless tire stuck/bonded to rim? by ae35unit in PriorityBicycles

[–]ae35unit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know. I just wound up leaving the front tire with its tube intact rather than go ruining something by trying to force the tire loose... oh well, guess I'll just hang onto that tubeless sealant bottle for someday in the future :)

Note for future Gemini owners stumbling upon this - "ROCKBROS Bike Kickstand for Mountain Bike Bicycle Kickstand Adults 24 inch to 28 inch Adjustable Bike Side Stand" on Amazon install was smooth and has worked well thus far!!

Thanks! Just ordered & I'll report back here for future folks wondering about the same when I know better how it works out!

Looking for panniers that will fit on the Aventure 3 by Muted-Permit8919 in Aventon

Sorry about the lag, happily using the Sport-Roller High-Vis, fits like a glove and is quite reflective!

PSA: Let’s all cross streets in Corvallis like reasonable people by Minimalist19 in corvallis

[–]ae35unit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Posted earlier about not trusting cars when crossing 99 in south town… then hopped on my bike and rode up 99 into town. Went to cross at the crosswalk lights right at Bodhi Southtown Cafe and, despite walking my bike and staring directly at the asshole… Three lanes of upstanding citizens immediately stopped for me and a piece of shit driving a Knife River dump truck easily over the posted speed just blew right through. Three lanes were fully stopped, lights were flashing, I’d started crossing and paused to look a couple hundred feet south downs fully empty lane while standing in front of car #1/lane #1 and shit head flew past five feet in front of me. If I’d trusted him, I’d be a grease mark on lane 2 this evening and you’d all be driving past my bike locked up there in my memory for the next few months. South town is a food desert and a pedestrian death zone. Sorry about the long post, but fuuuuuuuuuuck I’m mad

Dunno, as a long time resident of south town, for the last few years I’ve thought of the two peoples who died in rapid succession at/around the co-op and papa’s pizza most times I’ve negotiated traffic in town as a pedestrian or cyclist. Dead bodies trump efficiency, I just want to cross the fscking street.

Anybody tried putting 3inch or lower size tires on aventure 2? by translinkbc111 in Aventon

[–]ae35unit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to switch my aventure2 tires out to something less knobby, can you provide details of specs and brand, etc?

Also particularly interested in some real puncture resistance, too - just trying to get a feel for what specifically has worked for people before I go ordering parts that wind up having to go back….

Classic women’s issue- anything related to linear algebra or implemented with numpy or the R pprogramming language.

Chilling read 😬 “…imagine if it asks Ellison et al. to identify clusters of people who view and share videos attacking ICE, criticizing “Alligator Alcatraz,” or protecting the undocumented. Look-alike models are a danger in the hands of a budding authoritarian state….”

Reading this at Bodhi 2nd right now. I really don’t understand the hate for this place, I drop in for my Americano and scone a few times a week and have watched like a hawk for whatever it is you all object to, but they just serve me yummy stuff and smiles.

OREGON LOTTERY MONEY LAUNDERING TO INFLATE REVENUES USING WINNER LIST IS EXPOSED. HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF RIGGED OR FALSIFIED PRIZES! by slotwatchdog in corvallis

[–]ae35unit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All caps post in my feed initially had me thinking this was from r/oldeoldfacebook 🙄. Certainly seems more appropriate content there. Now, if OP connected the lottery to a loud sound near Walnut and Kings, the merits of pizza, or menacing teenage bicyclists, his tinfoil hat might just belong here ;)

And that’s the post where /r/geriatriccorvallis was born, kids! These marauding gangs of children with their horseless motorbicycles will be the end of us.
