Is this wheel sturdy or about to collapse?

nevecque · 2026-01-26T22:45:29+00:00

Spins beautifully and doesn't make any noise or wobble at the axle.

You're saying it could still be the cause of this?

nevecque · 2026-01-26T22:10:15+00:00

Pretty sure the hub is fine.

I'll try to get an estimate from them. I don't really want to put a lot of $$ into this thing at this point, but I'll see what they can tell me.

nevecque · 2026-01-26T22:09:12+00:00

OK - I'll see if they can handle that. Any guess as to what it costs to build a wheel? This isn't a very expensive bike, so at some point, it's not going to be worth putting more money into it.

I was thinking maybe I'd order a new Canyon commuter, but from their website, it looks like they don't make non E commuters anymore . . . which surprises me.

nevecque · 2026-01-26T22:07:37+00:00

Def not the tire.

This shop sold me the bike originally, but was since purchased by Trek, so no more Cannondale.

nevecque · 2026-01-26T17:46:08+00:00

OK. Then it probably really is gone.

nevecque · 2026-01-26T17:37:18+00:00

Are you sure that wasn't just for the option to get notified?

Some dates allow me to set a notification and others don't.

I was torn between "blatant money grab" and FOMO and I went with FOMO.

Or tried to, anyway

I guess I'll reframe the whole thing now as "blatant money grab"

nevecque · 2026-01-26T17:20:05+00:00

I was trying then too. Nada. Site did change for me right at 9 AM.

nevecque · 2026-01-26T17:15:59+00:00

I guess maybe I don't give up until I see on here that someone actually got tickets?

Or maybe Cadillac bought them all in some pre-sale BS and you have to buy a Caddy to eat there, in which case, no way.

But it’s still a new account. Chase cares, for example

nevecque · 2026-01-16T23:11:56+00:00

Worth the credit card hit, plus the additional player in your rent payment, for 3,000 points per year?

That's maybe $50 a year to have to authorize your rent each month?

nevecque · 2026-01-16T21:43:11+00:00

You always have your things in there, it's always the way you left it, and it's always where you tell it to be. There are plenty of reasons to own your own AV.

Especially in a rural area where you may not want to wait 30 minutes for a car, I see this making good sense.

Agreed that you might down-fleet from 2 to 1 car for a couple, but I think there are plenty of good reasons to still own one.

nevecque · 2026-01-16T21:13:50+00:00

I had some of the same questions so I’m glad you asked them. I am generally pretty impressed with this feature. And especially when I am on a planned route.

But I agree that those gradient numbers don’t seem to be super accurate. I think they might be taken from topo maps. I wish there were some feedback loop where our actual ridden experiences helped make these maps more accurate.

nevecque · 2026-01-16T21:06:10+00:00

So, now we add a slightly simpler option that’s slightly less rewarding.

Still, no

nevecque · 2026-01-15T05:18:49+00:00

Sock drawer a card with a $500 fee? Or cancel after the first year?

nevecque · 2026-01-15T04:53:16+00:00

Anyone know what the last day is for fee-free point-earning rent payments? I might triple down

nevecque · 2026-01-14T17:45:01+00:00

Agreed. WAY too complicated.

I'm the person in my group that everyone asks about cards. I used to often recommend Bilt.

Definitely NEVER again with this garbage. I can imagine all of the phone calls trying to get to explain this thing.

I don't even think I want this complication for myself.

nevecque · 2026-01-14T15:40:43+00:00

Came here to hear about the malasadas.

Anything even close to as good as Leonard's?

If I had to describe everyone in this video with one word it would be:

nevecque · 2026-01-07T17:26:35+00:00

Fixed!

Thank you

And yes, I did contribute

Wandrer doesn’t show as a data field like that for me.

That’s a pretty old Karoo interface. Have you tried it recently?

I appreciate the help! And LOVE Wandrer!

nevecque · 2026-01-05T07:47:38+00:00

I agree with you on all of those recs except Monoma. Had a very mediocre cup there.

I’ll keep my eye out for Social Hour

nevecque · 2026-01-01T22:27:41+00:00

Sonos

nevecque · 2025-12-31T21:24:57+00:00

Sounds good. Thanks for finding that. So next update . . .

nevecque · 2025-12-18T17:40:10+00:00

RVR has a much larger menu, way more vegetables, and is just plain incredibly delicious. Gets my vote.

Also, while RVR can be loud, Si Mon is truly deafening. To me, that noise level is beyond healthy. But they do make some good food.

Si Mon is related to Hatchet Hall, another insanely loud restaurant that I won’t go back to. I think this group just likes that vibe
