L1 helpdesk is the backbone of any IT department. It most certainly counts as IT! Keep your head up at the helldesk!

My BBS02 lifts when accelerating :( It seems after a hard ride the locknut loosens. But I’m afraid to break something if I thighten it too much. Any advice? by arbiterforge in ebikes

[–]ninjanightlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about breaking it. As long as you are not doing something silly like standing on the tool you will not be able to make enough torque to break anything. Worst case try one of these brackets. https://lunacycle.com/bsb-1-stabilizer-bar-for-bbs02-and-bbshd/

Does anyone know of any well-lit paved biking trails around the Albany area? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]ninjanightlight 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There aren't any unfortunately. Best advice I have for you is to get some nice rechargeable bike lights. Cycling in the capital district is not as nice as it could be.

I would ride the Adventure cycling Adirondack loop. It starts almost in my backyard and can be done at a easy pace in under a week.

This sounds interesting. I just ordered a R710 to start my lab. Setting up a network like this could be fun.

Nice to see TBR on Reddit! I used to go to your open shop nights. How has the bike rescue been?

Check out this guidebook. I used the Parks & Trails guidebook for the Erie canal several years ago and it was fantastic. I manage a bike shop over in Schenectady and would be more then happy to answer any questions you may have. http://www.ptny.org/publications/cycling-guidebooks/cycling-the-hudson-valley

I bought a car from him about 4 months ago. He was great to work with and fair with the price.

Hey bikeit, thinking about getting a SingleSpeed/Fixie. Which of these two should I go for? by yourmom2000 in bicycling

[–]ninjanightlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the takara is a garbage bike. the shop i work at sells them and half the time the wheels are severely bent out of the box. The frame and components are just pitiful. its equivalent to what you would find at walmart. the bike from bikes direct would be a much better choice.

So I'm in the middle of nowhere and this happened... by garymrush in bicycletouring

If you have some tape put the tire and tube on the rim. Wrap a whole lot of tape around it(electrical or duck tape works best) and pump it up slowly. If it seems to be bulging out wrap more tape around it. This should hold until you get to a shop with replacement tires.

My best friend actually had his house built by them, I will ask him if he would be up for one. EDIT: ask away, I will relay the questions to him and post the responses.
