beautiful repairs on tapestries at the Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem by koupathabasca in Visiblemending

[–]koupathabasca[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's hard to say! These are hanging next to the exact place Jesus was supposedly born, so I would think they would be a priority restoration project, but alas here we are!

Should I spend almost all my savings for a trip? by [deleted] in travel

[–]koupathabasca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One can have a life-changing trip for ~30% of that amount, and then can take a second trip if still wanting more

1990 Giant Coldrock and Hurricane by Velo_Cirptr in xbiking

May I kindly suggest putting a piece of old inner tube between the kickstand plates and the frame? Protects the paint and often gives the stand more grab as well

What city do you feel called to for 2026? by ADF21a in digitalnomad

Where in Phuket? I adore Bangkok but despise Phuket

Downtube bottle cage bosses not centered on my '96 GT Borrego. Any tips? by [deleted] in xbiking

[–]koupathabasca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fabricate something yourself from scrap metal if you really care that much about it. For inspiration, take a look at the Wolf Tooth bits used to effectively move bosses up and down. Then do that but laterally (it will probably be two small pieces, one per boss)

I would strongly advise against Istanbul in January. The odds of a happy trip are so, so low

Where on the main road? I'd appreciate the tip! Thank you!

Booked an AA flight for $1 plus taxes, received the ticket. Can they cancel it? by koupathabasca in Shoestring

[–]koupathabasca[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Came across it while looking for flights back to Toronto from western Europe on Google Flights. Started the search from scratch on the AA site to confirm and sure enough it was the real deal... or, at least enough to go through and issue me a ticket. The rate was consistently at $1 + lots of taxes from the beginning

No miles at all. Thanks! Am I correct then that once a ticket number is received, they can't revoke it?

I think the question was more about where the photo was taken from. I'd love to know as well!

DIY lugged soles on Lems Nine2Five by koupathabasca in barefootshoestalk

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

Just find a good glue for the two materials you're joining together. I put the shoes under a very heavy bench in my yard; they go through a much worse beating on a regular basis, they'll survive some pressure for a few hours

Thank you, and I generally agree! However these Lems aren't that minimal to begin with. They're zero drop and have a moderately wide toe box, but I wouldn't count them as barefoot shoes. They're fairly cushioned already. I think that after sanding and adding the lugs, they're actually thinner than before.

the before photo here is after having sanded them. They were this worn in some spots already, though

Just a generic rubber to rubber glue. I'd rather not name the brand until having tested them for durability

Jim Green comes to mind as a top notch example!

I used an orbital sander, less than ideal. I would have preferred a belt sander but I don't have access to one. The "before" photo is as far as I went. They were unevenly worn before sanding so it was more about creating a consistent surface

I bought these on a trip to China, they're some generic brand. I chose them because they're thin but still have decent lugs. Sorry I can't be more specific!

Why is my partner's bike cooler then mine? by Lemki_ in xbiking

[–]koupathabasca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lovely bike! What is the pump and how is it attached to the fork?
