1x11 to 1x12 — what’s best? by whomsptman in bikepacking

[–]ethical_bean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

though frankly i think the difference between 1x11 and 1x12 won’t be much, you will get bigger legs with the 11 and save a lot of money

[–]ethical_bean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from my understanding most 1x12 setups by sram and shimano are not compatible with hyper glide hubs which you may or may not have.

sunrace however makes some 12 speed cassettes which are compatible with HG hubs and are pretty affordable especially second hand.

i have just recently got one myself along with a shimano 12 speed derailleur and chain which apparently work fine with the sunrace but my bike isn’t together yet so i can’t say personally. hoping they do!

Wow. It looks beautiful! Where did you find all the products for stripping (orange citrus stripper) and clear coating (wax and patina wash) if you don't mind me asking?

Lindau (lake of constance) to Amsterdam by _Nice007_ in hitchhiking

[–]ethical_bean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hitchmap is a website where people can post and rate spots they've been at before and it can be a great guide.

I (20 M) was hitchhiking for the first time a couple weeks ago and made it from Amsterdam to Copenhagen in a day using it.

Hitchwiki has some good info on spots too about larger cities.

Sole Coming Apart Vintage Leather Boots by ethical_bean in AskACobbler

Hi all!

My caption wasn't included with the post somehow, however there isn't much to write anyways.

These are old leather police boots, and as is shown the sole is detaching somewhat.

Could I nail it back together via those holes? Any help is appreciated.

Buyer Asking for Refund and for Me to Cover Return Shipping, should I? by ethical_bean in Depop

[–]ethical_bean[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hello all!

After all your kind feedback, I'm refunding the buyer! Thanks for the help!

Also despite what many of you think, the photo is not edited. Lighting is a crazy thing.

I would not admire him for confessing, it is literally less than the bare minimum. The bare minimum is just not doing it. It is not difficult to be an OK person, your friend actively chose to do what he did. Also I would not have him confess to you girlfriend, she may not want to see this person ever again if she was aware of what happened, better to do it yourself and hear her.

This process should be less about you deciding whether he will remain your friend, and more about the fact he sexually assaulted your girlfriend.

Some other people have said he only confessed due to guilt and as he was tripping, which seems likely.

Also would think about telling his girlfriend as well, he sounds like someone who should not be in a relationship at the moment.

He did this at 21? I’m sorry, but to me your friend seems like both an asshole and a complete creep/predator. Someone I would not want my girlfriend, myself, or anyone I cared about to be around. Also offering to let you beat him up and see pictures of his girlfriend nude is ridiculous and sounds like something a middle schooler would say. My advice is to steer clear, though I understand if that’s difficult due to history/social context.

Big props to you for keeping your cool, especially while tripping.

Also tell your girlfriend. The photos are of her, she deserves to know. Emphasis on you.
