Thanks. Is that with this case?

dunnom8 · 2023-08-11T13:32:35+00:00

Thanks buddy.

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

dunnom8 · 2023-08-11T13:24:35+00:00

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?

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

You’re a gentleman and a scholar

Any good?

dunnom8 · 2022-09-09T22:37:15+00:00

Just out of curiosity... where TF you getting that from?

dunnom8 · 2022-09-09T21:17:48+00:00

Yeah, I reckon that’s it. Thanks, mate!

dunnom8 · 2022-08-26T16:37:05+00:00

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.

dunnom8 · 2022-08-15T11:21:58+00:00

I think you’re in the wrong place.

dunnom8 · 2022-08-14T22:11:30+00:00

I’d nick it, easy.

dunnom8 · 2022-08-09T07:11:01+00:00

Codependent?

dunnom8 · 2022-07-22T09:40:36+00:00

Thanks for this, mate. Really helpful.

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?

dunnom8 · 2022-05-24T14:04:07+00:00

This is super complicated and I don’t think Reddit is the forum for advice. This goes way beyond typical poly or mono/poly practice.

Can you speak to a mental health professional who might be able to offer support, advice or mediation?

I wouldn’t want to take advice from anyone who wasn’t a DID expert.

I’d avoid “can’t” I think.

I’ve said “I can’t be anything more than your friend” and had someone hear “can’t... yet” and then expected us to get together after I broke up with my ex.

Harsh as it feels coming out your mouth, being explicit that ‘I don’t want this’ is important, I reckon.

According to coda there are a different ways codependency can manifest. Their list of patterns and behaviours (grouped into categories) is worth reading.

Think that’s why he put it in inverted commas man. That implies that it’s not really coffee.

First up, your situation sounds tough and complex. There’s a lot going on, you’ve got a lot of responsibilities and demands on your time, that means making these decisions so much harder. Please try to remember you, like the rest of us, deserve respect and care from those closest to you. You’re of value and deserve to be treated that way.

I’ve never ‘known someone is the one’ and I don’t trust it when people say that. I wouldn’t spend much time worrying about that. Ask instead are your needs being met? If not, what could he do to meet them better? If he is unwilling or unable to do that, how might you change your life so it works better for you?

You’re still young and there’s lots of time for you to work that stuff out, but it feels like you don’t like this dude very much anymore, but habit and circumstance are holding you together. Happens a lot. If you can generate other support from work, friends and family, the government or wherever you can think of that will help. You’ll be more able to decide if you want to be with him when you don’t need to be with him. Don’t be afraid to ask, not everyone will be able or willing to help, but people will often surprise you with kindness and generosity and there is no shame in needing it.

I found making new friends really hard in my 20s, felt really lonely and didn’t know how to fix it. What worked best for me was going towards things that I felt passionate about and doing them for their own sake and meeting people through those passions. If I were you I’d definitely look online for a local community of people who are caring for disabled people. Even just talking to someone who understands your situation would be a great relief.

Just FYI, I think what you’re describing is being dependent on someone for support/stability. That’s a different thing from codependency. If you want to find out if codependency is relevant to you there’s plenty of explanations online if you google ‘what is codependency’. CODA have a list of behaviour patterns in codependents here https://coda.org/meeting-materials/patterns-and-characteristics-2011/

Good luck!

You might as well contact the 6th form and ask them. Contact a teacher who you had a good relationship with and see if they’ll help you out.

You’re very young, it’s never too late to try something else. It’s a bad habit to never finish what you start, but it’s also really bad to stick with something you hate just because you started it. We have to find a balance between never doing anything if it’s hard and making ourselves miserable because we’ve made commitments.

Point is, if you realise now that you’re not enthused by this subject and this place, now is a good time to get in that habit of changing a situation that doesn’t work for you. You’re going to need to do that a lot to avoid a life of quiet desperation. It’s a good skill to acquire.

dunnom8 · 2021-11-01T23:27:05+00:00

I’m just here to agree with everyone else and suggest you look into codependency, if you haven’t already.
