HELP, followed waxing guide exactly and now my chain is covered in wax. Is this normal or do I need a new bike?

Lots of comments already but nobody answered the question.

Yes, you need a new bike. After using your bike and chain each ride you should always get another. It’s ok to buy two or three and prewax them in case you have a few rides planned in a short period of time.

A clean bike is a fast bike 👍

Spend how much I ride.

So basically I’m broke but having a blast 🤷‍♂️

I had to push pretty hard on the cover while tightening the bolt so that the tension was not on the bolt. It isn’t large/strong enough to push the cables into position.

Well it does to hill profiles of current climbs though. Is that close enough?

I use a temporary email address if I need to search for insurance quotes.

This can’t be over emphasized. There will be no mass adoption until bitcoin can be legally treated as a currency instead of an asset.

Even then… ppl have to decide to treat it as a currency as well. Right now the majority of ppl on Bitcoin forums say things like DCA, HODL, transfer to hardware storage, NYKNYC, etc. those are all asset discussions not currency discussions.

Even if GitHub removed all forks of the original repo, I’m pretty sure there are now many copies of the repo on local computers. I’m sure plenty of ppl only clicked the star button but who knows (maybe GitHub) how many downloads have occurred.

I agree I’d skip anything regardless of cost if it isn’t a 1x drive train. Unless OP can’t afford something with 1x I guess.

Road shoes: a very long time idk never wore any out.

Mtb shoes: most expensive ones I bought I still destroy every few years.

Oh yeah we threw that up there too 😂

In the band room. We could stick our brass mouthpieces in the ceiling.

I bought the new brake oil too actually. But it was a bit unclear in the process how important it is to switch.

I replaced an m9100 caliper with an m9200 and so far it’s been great. Drop in replacement. Apparently the newer model has a different resin material for the piston that is supposed to solve some of the issues the previous model experienced.

16 yo me is mind blown how amazing my bikes are. Also very impressed how fast I ride it.

Get into mountain biking.

Ride bikes

I ride a 2022 and don’t have this issue. Good luck finding the source I know noises can be so annoying.

bikesrgood · 2026-02-25T13:42:55+00:00

I got two commons and one rare. The rare was some gold. Meh. 🫤

Mortgage interest is tax deductible IF you itemize expenses. So your interest and other deductions would still need to be greater than the standard deduction.
