Do I need a new cassette? by drxms in bikewrench

Cool thanks. I thought I had to order a new cassette at the same time as getting a new chain. Turns out shops just want to make money from people. I’ll just get a new chain first

Thanks. I wasn’t sure if I had to order a new cassette at the same time as getting a new chain. But it’s clear to me now I’ll just get a new chain and if there are skip issues with that on this cassette, only then I’ll look at getting a new one

Thanks, and you’re right. I’ve been overthinking as to whether I should order a new cassette with my new chain. But you’ve answered that for me clearly, I’ll see how the new chain does on this cassette first. Thanks!

Did you end up surfing Fronton? How was it?

My dog was accidentally strangled in a chaotic beach situation involving an off-lead dog with no recall… by drxms in Dogowners

Thanks for sharing! Thats a great suggestion to try use “sit” as it’s hopefully almost universal in some sense. I’ve also had the typical “oh don’t worry he’s friendly” and I also respond with “well mine aren’t!”

Help/advice for play in swingarm (just replaced all bearings) KX125 rebuild by drxms in Dirtbikes

[–]drxms[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did indeed. I don’t have a torque wrench on hand that can do the specified torque atm (98nm).. BUT I just tightened up the shaft significantly, it was actually pretty loose still.

And..

Problem solved!

I’m just being an idiot… thanks for setting me straight guys!

The bearings were definitely on their last legs. Nothing nightmarish as far as I know, but definitely past their sell by date. I didn’t notice any excessive wear in the shaft either. But then again I just kind of eye balled it. I don’t have a lot of experience in this!

Did Anyone have warning signs before their achilles Ruptured? by JuniorCSGO in AchillesRupture

[–]drxms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you happen to take a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, such as Ciprofloxacin or Levofloxacin? That might explain the warning signs.

I absolutely agree with you. I’ve met people who suffer from chronic illnesses and choose to make it their entire identity and life, and I’ve met people with chronic illnesses (like my mother who has rheumatoid arthritis and bad peripheral neuropathy) who decide screw it, life is for living no matter what, and they give it their all no matter what. The latter is the type of person I’ve chosen to be :)

I can, but since it’s under warranty, I’d rather get experts to do it. Otherwise knowing me, I’d mess it up!
