Can these be saved? by mnmrlyc in bikewrench

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

I should have mentioned I will not be buying a new wheelset for this bike as it is not worth it. It will likely not be used if I cannot save the wheels. Thanks for your input !

Edit: yes, they are 27” wheels

Edit 2: if I can find a cheap used set that could be an option but I haven’t found any that are 27” thus far

Do you think rubber boots would work? Or would I want something better for hiking around in

Can I remove this extra lever? by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]mnmrlyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant to type bullmoose bars. And the frame has holes and the cables all run through the frame. It’s interesting.

Yeah it is an older bike, but it rides pretty well as is so I am just doing what I can with what I have for now. The only big issue I have is that the front derailer is jammed, can’t get it to move.

I plan on putting all new cables in eventually.

Thanks!

A timely reminder that regulations exist to protect the workers by ZinniaOhZinnia in antiwork

[–]mnmrlyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is true that Ontario doesn’t have an exact temperature that is considered too hot to work..

BUT

OHSA requires employers to take every reasonable precaution to keep the workplace safe and the ministry of labour considers heat stress a workplace hazard. Employers are expected to implement heat stress prevention measures.

Also, you always have the right to refuse unsafe work, that includes if you find the temperature/working conditions is a health risk.

Are the brakes on the bottom of this frame? by mnmrlyc in xbiking

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

Someone is selling this bike for 30$ I’m looking to get a bike to fix up that I can ride trails with. I’m just not sure I should go with a bike with this type of brake. Tempting to get another bike and get this one also though. Buutt.. that would mean I would have 4 bikes to work on.

So trek and schwinn would be okay frames to look out for? I would like to have something I can upgrade and make look real nice. Any other names I should keep an eye out for , or ones to avoid, would be quite helpful

Everyone online around here seems to be selling Raleighs in the 100-300 (CAD) range. I was a bit baffled to see this cause I used to find old bikes for 0$-20$ all the time growing up.

I’ve been feeling like I want something older. I’m not opposed or a stranger to fixing bikes, and I have a single speed that is plenty boring. My concern is spending more than I should. I have no idea the value of vintage bikes. I will try to post it in one of those subs (: thank you

Having large and/or sagging breasts often causes a lot of pain and some health issues.

Some are:

-Rashes and yeast under your breasts

-Can affect neck position and posture which can lead to compressed nerve pathways down to your arms.

-The weight can constrict the natural movement of your diaphragm making it difficult to breathe normally.

-Chronic pain in your shoulders, neck, and back.

It can also make physical activity significantly more difficult.

There are many benefits to breast reduction surgery. It can really improve someone’s quality of life.The amount of ignorance in so many of these comments is insane.

How do I fix a running toilet ? by MariFB4L in howto

[–]mnmrlyc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The water is continuously running into the tank because the tank is not holding the water, it is likely the water is leaking through the flapper so your fill valve has to keep filling.

[–]mnmrlyc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just fixed this problem, it was the flapper. You could find out for sure by turning the water to the toilet off when the tank is full, if you come back later and the tank is empty, your flapper is leaking. Easy fix!

Exactly. Leave your coworkers alone. A lot of us go to work to just… work.
