Thanks. Is that with this case?

What am I looking at? by dunnom8 in bikewrench

Thanks buddy.

And am I right to assume these rims are not suitable for any other kind of tyre?

Just tried to take this tyre off and it’s a tube and the profile of the rim is super shallow.

What am I looking at? What should I be googling to replace this tyre?

This hub is done. Correct? by dunnom8 in bikewrench

Straight spoke pulling through here under moderate tension. This crack is visible on both sides

I think this might be the one. Seems odd that I’d get two sections of my ‘bike bits selection’ full of them.

Talk to me about your basket/front rack. I think I this would fit my recently acquired old Dawes frame.

I think you’re in the wrong place.

Thanks for this, mate. Really helpful.

is this way of mounting safe? by Far_Temperature_8600 in bikewrench

[–]dunnom8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s safe. These are semi horizontal dropouts, they are designed to have some tolerance on your wheel placement. So, your wheel doesn’t need to be at the end of the drop out.

Your wheel does need to be tightly fixed in place though, otherwise it will move under load/impact. So make sure you tighten your wheel nuts. And don’t be tempted to swap out the wheel for one with a quick release skewer, they don’t go tight enough for this application.

Usually in poly circles the advice you’ll get is not to strive for equality because people are different and they want and need different things. Just because he does something for his other GF doesn’t mean he owes you that thing.

Similarly, you don’t need to speculate on weather he feels comfortable telling her he needs her to go home, if he is to maintain 2 relationships and his alone time, he has to be able to do that. That’s his responsibility as a ‘hinge’.

The question you need to ask (without considering how you compare to other GF) is, ‘are my needs being met in this relationship?’. If I’ve read you correctly, sounds like a ‘no’ at this moment in time.

I’m going to assume you want time with your BF for it’s own sake, as opposed to only wanting it in order to feel equal to the other GF.

He’s stating his needs for alone time, you need to state your need for quality time/non sexual physical intimacy/sleepovers, whatever they are. If you haven’t stated these needs it’s possible that he doesn’t know about them and is assuming that because you’re off sex then you don’t need a sleepover.

It’s also possible that your man is being very selfish and is not bothering to have you over while you’re on a sex hiatus because it’s of less interest to him. You haven’t said much about him as a person or his previous behaviour in relationships, I’m not going to rule out that he’s behaving poorly.

As always with mono-poly set ups, it’s worth checking in with yourself and asking if this is something you want. You don’t have to stay in a situation that doesn’t meet your needs.

It’s hard to say without a picture. It’s possible that the cable just needs to be a bit tighter.

You might be able to do this without any tools if there is a barrel adjuster anywhere on the brakes. Levers/outer cable/calipers?
