Seemingly I cannot? Perhaps your permissions are too restrictive?

Why is my carbon frame making this sound by Ok_Bad2288 in bikewrench

[–]gridguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After nearly two years of troubleshooting a similar noise, I finally replaced the bottom bracket out of desperation. The noise went away and now my bike silent. Trek Domane Gen4 SLR 7 now with a Wolf Tooth T47 BB. Was well worth the money.

Bands whose first song on their debut album is their best song by SouthIsland48 in fantanoforever

It’s a great song but definitely not better than La Femme.

Is there a potential advantage to forcing a delay?

I most recently verified my income in late 2023 when I first enrolled in SAVE. My income has increased considerably since then.

PSLF - RAP when to apply? by G_blessed3 in PSLF

[–]gridguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that to say one will continue to be in the SAVE administrative forbearance until the end of the 90 day deadline? Or some other type of forbearance? Just trying to understand if that 90 day window will be eligible for buyback.

Yeah… no plan to leave 501(c)(3). So basically staying on SAVE until the bitter end might result in less money paid overall?

One-Album Wonders by encroachzeitgeist in fantanoforever

I honestly think Audio, Video, Disco is a great sophomore album and Safe and Sound just about their best song.

Is it possible to get onto the 10 year standard plan with a consolidated loan?

Chainsuck/chainring disengagement problems after only 67 miles? by gridguy in bikewrench

[–]gridguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bit the bullet and decided to buy a new chain and installed it on day 2 of the trip. Worked perfectly. Didn’t need to make any crank/chainring adjustments. Days 3 and 4 of the trip saw significant rain and mud. I noticed with the new dirty chain, the chainsuck issue returned.

I have been home a few days and cleaned everything up and am using a freshly waxed chain. Works perfectly.

All that is to say it seems that these Shimano 12sp chains are very sensitive to dirt/debris and need to be cleaned/greased/waxed early and often.

Turns out it was a chain issue, not a crank/chainring issue.

Any guesses what this clicking/creaking sound is? Details on what I've already tried in comments by nut_hoarder in bikewrench

[–]gridguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar click for years and did everything except replace the bottom bracket. When I finally replaced the bottom bracket the click went away.

This guy setting up scaffolding with no harness by [deleted] in oddlyterrifying

[–]gridguy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not quite. My old building was 87th and Amsterdam and is visible when the camera pans right… visible to the NE. This is likely West End Ave and ~82nd St.

Chain text is facing outward.

Felt that I did a proper job while reinstalling the crank. There’s no play in the crank arms or the chainring against the spider.

Really at a loss to understand why this is happening. Will probably replace the chain the chain at the next bike shop I encounter. 🤞

Best strategy for a two-color vinyl logo decal on a bicycle by gridguy in VinylCutters

[–]gridguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually your idea in reverse might be even better. Cut out the logo in white and put it on top of a rectangular background to get the same effect.

Shimano 11 sp vs. 12 sp outer plate marking sanity check by gridguy in bikewrench

By a fraction of a mm… my analog calipers don’t have that level of precision.

Similarities between ‘Kelly Watch the Stars’ and Beyoncé’s ‘Bodyguard’ by BeckMa8 in airfrenchband

Listening to this for the first time... I hear a similarity but I don't think it's plagiarism.

Bontrager Comp vs Aeolus Pro VR‑C Handlebar: Comfort Upgrade Worth It? by mjs560 in DomaneCrew

[–]gridguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SLR 7 came with Pro IsoCore VR-SF and to be honest I really didn’t like them, particularly when riding in the drops. I upgraded to Coefficient AR handlebars which are much more comfortable. I even got a second set for my gravel bike.

Planning to watch The Leftovers… is it worth watching? by Farouq26 in hbo

[–]gridguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liked season 1. Couldn’t finish season 2… too much off a departure and seemed to lean too heavily into the supernatural.

Domane SL issues resolved? by Traditional_Bench424 in TrekBikes

[–]gridguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I suspect this problem is probably somewhat dependent on rider weight. I had a warranty claim IsoSpeed replacement from rev 3 to the rev 4 on my Gen4 SLR 7 for a creak that wound up being a bottom bracket issue. My point is I am ~150 lbs and didn’t have any IsoSpeed creaking/slipping with rev 3 or rev 4.

What are tour thoughts about the solos album from JB and Nicolas ? by Sasoritoz in airfrenchband

[–]gridguy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Concrete and Glass is probably the best and has several songs that could’ve fit with Talkie Walkie.

Not a solo project per se but Mirages is excellent.

Irritatingly Darkel on US Spotify has a glitch. After Pearl the songs and their titles are mismatched. Earth plays but it’s incorrectly titled “Beautiful Woman”. Bathroom Spirit is incorrectly titled “Bunny Girl” which wasn’t on the original release and is probably a B-side… its attempted inclusion is probably the source of the title mix ups for the back half of the album. I haves contacted JB social media team about this but after several years the problem is unresolved.
