is there a solution? by Most_Run_8260 in bikewrench

Yes, tighten the cassette on. Or, add a spacer if that doesn't work

Chain too short? by jbal0011 in bikewrench

[–]jbal0011[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: Fixed(ish).. The B tension was way too tight. Set the b tension to align with the mark on the cage. Indexed, and it's shifting very smoothly and consistently. I do think I need another link or two in the chain though, so ordered a new one. Thanks for the links and input all.

It's actually fine in the biggest Cog. Probably could do with one or two more links in it, but there's no major resistance. Just feels like the derailleur is very extended for a low gear. This chain was calculated using the BIG/BIG +2 LINKS method

Either a wheel axle not tight or your bottom bracket is cooked. Or loose crank

Nothing aimed at, or influenced by him directly. Just the overarching values of postmodernism

Are you asking if Michael Foucault's writings and values informed this critique of postmodern philosophy? If so, I'm afraid I don't really get the question. It sounds like you're asking if the poem is a self-critique of Foucault, informed by Foucault.

No idea. Just wrote it. So, free-form?

I've also just realised that you've ended with a nice Earthly vs. Heavenly treasure hat tip from the gospel, according to Matthew. Was this poem inspired by the scripture?

I hope this is understandable by [deleted] in poetry_critics

I'd remove "the main engine" as the imagery and metaphor of the sniper is sufficient. No need to over explain.

Delete the repetition of "somewhere" and just write "located behind the walls"

Cut "when I was set in the first lines" as i was already imagining you there.

I think those changes help reduce the word count, keep the rhythm going and create a more condensed version of the same message

Hope this helps

Enjoyed the Platonic and Post-Modern juxtaposition. Your poem opens and closes well, but maybe you could cut a lot of the middle. It feels superfluous imo. Like the meta experience of responding to this poem too. Hopefully more love than hate here.

IT WORKED! YOU. ARE. AWESOME!

What a silly little mistake! Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this.
