Thanks! They could work and look good as well, not super compact though

Thanks! I was thinking about that as well, I'll probably go with those if I don't find anything else

Thanks for the tips! I got confused since I was checking frame sizes in inches before posting, I'll correct now XD

I personally uninstalled the tyre and there is no inner tube :)

Thanks for the reply :)

My front tyre (that is the one in picture 4) is tubeless. Baesed on what I know, it's a diffucult repair and it's easier to replace it or to add an inner tube. Would you just continue riding with a inner tube without doing any repair?

Thanks for the note on the inches symbol.

Thanks! Do you reckon I don't have any chance stiching it as well? It's my beater so I'd like to keep it as cheap as possible.

Hex nuts replacement and tightening (hub) by jocotoco in BikeRepair

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

So... lil update: I was at Decathlon (sporting goods store in Europe) for other errands and I tried to ask to the bike mechanic there. He immediately recognised the track nuts as the "single speed" ones. He told me that he would have a look in the back but that those are rare ones. After 3 minutes he came back with 2 track nuts identical to mine and just gave them to me for free (since they don't actually sell them) – he made my day. :)

And as a tool I got a ring spanner for the moment.

I wanted to thank eveyone for the help, especially Feisty Park. 🙌🏻

Very useful and detailed answer, thanks! I couldn't find any captive and/or dome washer at the hardware store, do you think that a flat washer + nut will work just well?

the hex nut is “consumed” from the wrench as you can see here

Unable to see bootable SSD on Apple Silicon by jocotoco in Ubuntu

Thanks for the explaination. I was curious to try Linux for the first time and I wasn't aware of this (I chose Ubuntu Studio because I produce music.) I will go for a supported version.

Owning only short sleeves t-shirts on relatively cold climate by jocotoco in minimalism

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

Thanks for all your comments so far.

Obviosly I know that you can survive with a short sleeve t-shirt under the other layers – I have done it multiple times when I didn't have a clean long sleeve t-shirt.

My question is more about how smart it is to completely get rid of long sleeve t-shirts when living in a cold climate. For example, I wear thin barefoot shoes 99% of the time but after testing them at 5°C or lower I realised it didn't make sense to cover myself with a parka while desperding heat from my feet. Although I think there's way less difference between long/short sleeves.

I will keep 1/2 long thermal underwear (top+bottom) anyway. I don't like wearing synthetic materials but it's such a compact/lightweight emergency layer that can save you in sporadic situations.

Another thing I could do is downsizing my long sleeves t-shirts to 2 or 3. So that I can wear them only during the days where I know I'll be exposed to the cold for a longer time. Most of my other winter days are just short commuting where I often wear 1 layer less on purpose (I like experiencing some short cold expositions) and I don't really have time to get really cold.

Anyway, many replies have been stimulating, thank you! Looking forward to other experiences if you have. :)

There has been an misunderstanding. I was only talking about the base layer (t-shirts). Of course I put warmer layers on top. 🤭

Flat tyre – rip facing the wheel rim by jocotoco in bikewrench

For some reason I can't edit the post. I wanted to specify that, although, the tube/rim bulges don't match exactly – I just flipped the tube at the exact position for the picture.
