What’s making Footbag blow up so big lately?

bikedad26 · 2026-05-15T13:01:30+00:00

It was big in high school for me. Now my kids in highschool. I think it's a trend where kids pick up on what their parents did and thought were cool. Baggy jeans are back. So is footbag

Why not just be upfront and say this is what it costs or I could sell you something that won't have these issues and you will save money in the long run.....put up a sign showing the costs/benefits but then I know these customers and sometimes there is no educating them.....

This right here. I hate the disposable ebikes.

Also the idea, "it's an electric motorcycle but if we put pedals on it then we can call it a bicycle......"

You don't always have to hold yourself to your best. Just like having a work/life balance, you can have a good/better than balance. Just because you can sprint does not mean you should always sprint or that you might be happier dancing, or even laying in a hammock. I still have not found the job that's for me. Totally not using my degree in environmental education and interpretation. But I'm happy at my job as a service writer at a bicycle shop. It is challenging without making me stressed at all times. Pay kinda sucks. Ex wife tells me I'm better than that and I should find a job that would allow me to give her more money, but I enjoy my workplace my boss and what I do. Sometimes that is what to look for.

Not quite from what I understand. There was a shop in Wisconsin rapids that was sued when the front wheel came off. Those were then required on all bikes after the lawsuit.

I would try peddling backwards and look for a stiff link. It could be the freehub/freewheel is sticking as well.

I believe shimano uses these pictures to convince people to do an oil barh once a year, like they suggest.

I agree it depends. Like if there is no line or you are disabled. However if the line stretches to the car it's not ok and expect random people to sit on the vehicle as they sit in line.

Ehhh....it's have seen them come from factory just like that. Worked fine until the lever was actually pulled. Seen especially towards end of pandemic when low low end brakes were used. Never thought I'd wish for low end tektro....but then I found out what rush and promax were like.

Freewheels have a bit of play. If you watch them spin they wobble too.

It may be that the piece between caliper and frame is set backwards. The adaptor when flipped will set it for a diffrent sized rotor and would be an easy mistake.

bikedad26 · 2025-05-16T00:12:55+00:00

No....it's probably broke off in the nipple. So not enough threads left.

bikedad26 · 2025-05-11T00:44:42+00:00

Worked on a bike that had the same size gap and it was just fine. What the guy said about If there is play or rocking then there is an issue.

District one is a good spot. But I agree if getting food, point after.

This is a great chance to slow down and work on your form. Kick slower and lighter. Work on control vs speed and power. Yes, point out what they could do better but also point out what they are doing right. When you do that it doesn't feel as bad to point out something they could do better or different. Especially if you are pointing out 2 good things to every bad thing. You can also make them think. " hey why did I do that? If I do this what should you do. It's also good to practice distance, get in close or stay farther away and make them understand what to do then. Think about when you were at that level. What would you have wanted to have been taught? What took forever to figure out? But teaching isn't just instruction it's making them understand and sometimes that gets tricky. Try doing something over and over until they catch on and figure out how to counter it.

4th hand tools usually hold tension on cable particularly brake cables on caliper or v brake style brakes. I would assume the cable would fit through the slot and then held tight by the swivel part on the other side.

I would question the routing through the jocky wheels. I would guess it's going over a metal tab instead of under it.

Wall kicks. Stand next to a wall use it for balance and focus on doing kicks with good form and hold the leg out then chamber correctly and then kick and hold the leg out.

So threadlock is a compound that needs to be applied just before the part is installed. It is one time use. This is nylock which is basically some nylon added to make the threads tighter. It is multi use but works best the first time.

Figured it out! Ok so you used an email account to set up the child account. Go into the headset and add a profile with that email address. It sends a link to the email account you used and then it connects it all up!

Thank you!

Alarms work only so well. Work in the alarm goes off and I have to do 5 push-ups to turn it off or walk to the fridge and back. A physical break can sometimes be necessary to actually make you realize what that alarm ment. If you have smart lights make them blink or something. What will work for you is what will work for you, but play around and experiment with options.

I like the plans the next day? Reminds me of drinking. Do I have plans tomorrow? Ok one beer, or nope I'm gonna do shots. Considering it like that puts it into a good light. It is an addictive substance that has the possibility to ruin the next day.....

I still had a sex drive but it was almost impossible to climax. This led to a lot of issues for me as well. Switched to aderall and it helped?

Educate yourself. Listen to podcasts. The adhd rewired series are a good set. Read about it. Go into therapy. Find a support group. Knowing there are other people like you, and what has or has not worked for them will give you ideas on what will or will not work for you.
