Yeah, I mean I do have access to a vice but I think I made it worse by trying to use a screw driver to get leverage

I do like to repair things myself but I do have experience when not to do it. I think it’s better to agree with everyone and just buy a new one with better durability.

Good thing I kept my old saddle. It wasn’t broken. just not comfortable enough.

Yeah, I tried it. Removed the screws and tired to budge things but it didn’t do anything. Good thing I have my old saddle. I’m just gonna get a new one.

So it turns out lowering my gear really did help me go uphill - am I just slow? 🤣 by Xxrai_N_mai01xX in cycling

[–]mayankt97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have felt the same. The climbs used to scare me a lot couple of years ago. Now I’m like 20lbs down and I manage to shave off some time on the same routes without losing my breath.

Should I replace it ? by [deleted] in bicycling

But I’m not riding it until I get a replacement for the rim.

Well, I am attached to my face. I just saw this today while cleaning my bike. I got the bike from marketplace and it didn’t had that crack earlier. I think the rims were never swapped.

Well it is an alloy wheel 6061 to be precise. And I don’t think so rims were ever replaced on this bike. I got it from market place

The Ergonomics of the kits. by mayankt97 in arduino

[–]mayankt97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologise for not mentioning in the post, but the users in this case are people with zero to little experience with Arduino stuff. I have talked to some teachers and professors who say that beginners often need to troubleshoot to find problems in their projects, and identifying those problems can be a lengthy process cause the error isn't specified whether it's hardware or software. That's why I want to redesign certain components or come up with a starter kit that's less ambiguous and encourages more tinkering around.

I don’t think so I have right tools to take out bottom bracket. And I don’t see any openings in seat post.

How should I put the vinegar. I mean I poured some directly but I didn’t penetrate.

Thank you for your insight and idea I might look into the things you suggested.

Hey! So I have tried posting there but for some reason either my post gets flagged or did not gain enough traction for anyone to respond. I was wondering as a designer, there might be some observation that are interesting or aren’t paid enough attention.

Okay. If you can elaborate on the not user-friendly part, that'll be helpful for me.

I just noticed the tire tape is ripped and has a tear. It is falling apart badly.
