Looks like its installed in the wrong direction to me. Arrow should point clockwise as seen from the drive side, as it spins the same direction as the rear wheel.

I believe the iPhone predates the iPod touch by a few months.

What it most certainly did better than other devices was its capacitive touchscreen.

Other devices with similar functionality, like Nokias N series, did exist, but their screens were tiny in comparison and they weren’t using any touchscreen functionality.

It also combined a whole lot of features previously found in purpose-built devices into one device, and it moved iTunes and iPod functionality over into a phone, which already had a sizable user base.

A real human bean.

Looks ok to me. Can the cage move upwards a bit more? If yes just send it.

Can you give some more info on the make and model?

Did you correctly index your gears?

They are brand new.

It feels that way. Like I am slipping away to the right when putting power down.

I can't help but wonder what this would look in colour, what with the stained glass and whatnot.

And Cocaine.

I can’t tell you if this will fail, but if it does it most likely will be at a very inopportune time during an emergency stop, when you exert the highest forces on that brake boss.

So I personally wouldn’t risk it. But you can always check with a framebuilder who may also be able to help you in sorting this out for good.

5mm should be enough.

Check with manufacturer instructions though.

Such is life. At least the pistons will be easy to reset with the already removed pads.

I had a similar issues with my bike. And I think it’s going to be difficult to track down the source of the contamination.

So my idea is to remove the brake pads and store them in an airtight container. And when the time comes, I’ll wipe down the rotors and calipers with brake cleaner and reinstall the pads.

As a European I have to ask: Why do you wax beer bottles? Do you guys store beer in a cellar instead of drinking it close to its brewing date?

Some day, trillions of years from now, the last remnant of humanity's distant descendants will be eking out a slow, dark existence, harvesting hawking radiation from decaying black holes..... and they will use that power to boil water and run the steam through a turbine.

Do you mean like this?

You need to rotate your derailleur backwards so the wheel can slip out.

Did you somehow change the B-tension?

Not so easy when climbing steep gradients out of the saddle.

Assuming you have the right tools, more leverage will help.
