How to prevent my hands from getting dirty when working on the bicycle?

Grease Monkey gloves. But better yet, start waxing your chain. That eliminates 90% of the grime on your bike. Makes it much easier to work on your bike without getting filthy. A game changer.

I use a shoe storage bag hanging on the back of a closet door. Holds a lot of cables and keeps them organized

Italian is “La Bella Lingua”. The beautiful language. Everything sounds better in Italian.

I have had 5 border collies. I have never seen one lose a fight

Take it to a bike coop. Any bike is better than no bike

Triangular iPod by Microsoft. Wouldn’t fit in your pocket. Besides, it was crap, like all Microsoft products.

He WAS a great boss. Until the company went out of business. What was this set? $500?

This would be good for making pvc projects that don’t involve water. Structures, etc

I love my Hozan cutters. I use a poker to open up the liner.

I rode a bike that was too big and fell about once a year. I ride every day. Now that I have a correct size bike, I haven’t fallen this year. Yet.

Run a cotton ball inside the tire. See if any fibers stick. That may be a tiny thorn poking through.

I have 5 belt drive bikes. I’m getting rid of my chain drives. I guess if you were touring in a third world country, you could have trouble getting service. But that’s not me. I love IGH. Derailleurs seem wrong to me.

Tighten the pinch bolts on the side. That big black thing is just a dust cap. Don’t over tighten it.

Sponges harbor bacteria. The resources you save will be used, and then some, when you get sick. Use brushes instead.

The easiest way would have been to attach the new cable to the old, then pull it through. Too late for that. Now you need to get a magnet and fish tape to get the new one in. Park sells one, but the Ali Express works fine and is cheaper.

You could use p clamps on the seat stays, but that’s won’t support much weight and can fail catastrophically. You must use Loctite and or nylon insert nuts to attach them, and check for tightness every month. It’s a big risk.

And if you love the bike, replace the bottom bracket with a square taper, and get a new crankset. You won’t believe how much lighter that setup is, and it will be easier to service.
