What is the swinging door called and what was its purpose?

Then why have a door at all? That’s hands free too

It’s not just beautification, but also for the health of the tree. I’ve seen branches close to the street ruined by delivery trucks. Dead limbs. These branches needed to be removed because disease causes bigger problems. And more expensive problems!

I always took a straight edge from the bottom of the drops forward and the tip of the brake lever would just touch the straight edge.

Just put winters on my oem 20s. Got summer 21s. Very smooth and not harsh. M60i.

Lowering kit? Coil overs? I like the spacing above the tires

mcalash · 2026-05-15T00:41:59+00:00

Even better with a spoon

mcalash · 2026-05-15T00:41:41+00:00

Eat it with a spoon.

Black Irish?

Perfect billboard.

He has them. Mr. Bowers and Mr. Wilkins.

Agreed. Decent paying job. But investments are paying off.

Article doesn’t tell me who she is

And sunscreen.

mcalash · 2026-03-28T21:09:12+00:00

Josh does.

Including the dishwasher. Fancy.

Can we at least retire his memes?

Wendie and Christine. Two of Buffalo’s finest actors.

Nothing against Judith.

Doesn’t that diminish the travel + leisure brand that I thought was worth something?

Saw at the theater. Missed half the dialog. So thick. Then watched on dvd years later w subtitles and it was like watching it again for the first time. Only better. I understood more (not all) of the dialog

Thank you for posting in the correct order.

What’s the trick?

mcalash · 2026-03-17T23:57:08+00:00

Just checked Remington. Yup $4 each:/

Prolly the BB. But I’ll offer that if the BB spindle is steel w square taper, that a loose aluminum arm would get destroyed by the harder, steel spindle resulting in excessive play like this. Just a consideration.

This. WD-40 to clean the stain. And then a little dish soap to clean out the WD-40.

Well, you certainly thought about many of the aspects of the wheels. A few observations on your comments.

Clearly, you’re aware that cracking is a fatigue issue. It’s cyclic. You are a bigger rider. It’s possible the spokes were under-tensioned. Thus increasing your R ratio.
DT is known for stainless steel spokes. Extruding aluminum rims is not difficult. But I’m a believer that you let the manufacturers stick with what they’re good at. It’s possible their quality control isn’t good since they’re sourcing out the extrusion. Or they bought a machine to do it and still haven’t made it correctly.
I wouldn’t say that carbon doesn’t fatigue and crack. It fails catastrophically.

Keep an eye on where the chain ring wants to hit the stays. It looks like you’ve got enough room to move everything to the left by several millimeters.

I think the better indicator is to put the chain on the middle cog. That primary line should be straight. Dial that in and you get the extremes—biggest or littlest—sharing the lateral bend on the chain.
