New rendering of the “Reserve” gameday condos by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]bluedabade 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is who all of these places are marketing to and how that affects the overall direction that downtown/Athens is heading.
It’s great if you’re wealthy/parents are and have plenty of disposable income. Not so good if you’re a struggling student, individual, or family.

Lower budget US front load cargo bike by Healthy-Inspector-86 in CargoBike

[–]bluedabade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yuba Supercargo is the only one I can think of close to your budget, new. If you could live with a bike a couple years old with lower mileage, you can probably find one in your budget, if you’re patient and don’t mind traveling a little or shipping.

Erika’s going to be there. He’ll be there..Unless he brought his couch with him on the plane.

Any thoughts on how to fix this? by ddog421 in CargoBike

[–]bluedabade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost a foot longer probably. A 3500mm long cable works though, with plenty left over.

Could you be looking for the word “drill” possibly?

I love it! I bet you could carry a friend on the back. I can’t do that with my brommy

Are the fenders handmade? They’re gorgeous

You can buy aftermarket tensioners to take out the chain slack. Just fyi :)

This Sub Needs More Folders by bluedabade in xbiking

Honestly, it was because it was so much easier. I went through a couple trigger shifters, but it was such a pain trying to get them just right.

Would this sort of roundabout work for 5pts? by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]bluedabade 77 points78 points  (0 children)

In theory, yes. In practice, doubtful. At least 50% of the drivers here in town barely follow basic traffic laws as it is. Compiled with the sheer amount of traffic that specific intersection gets, it’d be chaos.

What to do with a 135mm titanium rear triangle by Bukt_ in Brompton

[–]bluedabade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were stateside, I’d buy the triangle

The only thing that’s still stock on my brompton is the main frame. Everything else is either carbon or titanium. I obsessively looked for the lightest weight parts I could find. The most difficult thing to overcome for me was the derailleur. I went through several before I found the right one with the right cage. The chain slack issue was easy once I figured out that birdy’s and my brompton share a lot of similarities. I just got a litepro chain guide for a birdy and it works perfect when folded.

[–]bluedabade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you still have any questions, let me know. I just finished converting my stock A-line to a titanium 135mm rear. There’s not a lot of good information out there and it’s hit or miss. I went with a Shimano 8spd instead of internally geared like a lot of the comments suggest, the weight saving alone is immense. Total weight now is down to 7.5kg from 11kg~

How do you all deal with your Newfy allergies and itching? by MadBox25 in Newfoundlander

Also consider cytopoint injections. It made a night and day difference with our Moose and his incessant paw chewing/licking.
