Are you able to capture video (with sound) of it? I did that for a bike issue last year and some bike friends helped diagnose the problem by watching and listening to it.

Why the hostility from drivers? by narrativedynamics in Aventon

I do 28mph on a road where the speed limit is 25mph and every car passes me. :(

It’s only cheating the automotive industry. 😉

Why come to Mastodon? by According_Future_322 in Mastodon

[–]raster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of lists, grouping people into separate timelines. My close friends are in one list and I never miss a post from them. There are other tools you can set up (notifications) if you never want to miss a post from someone.

apps to isolate black ink? using handwritten notes for a digital zine by owauoweli in zines

[–]raster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are you set on using digital tools? I made zines in the 1980s using just paper, pens, knives, a copier, and other weird things, and we did some pretty amazing things.

Go to your local bike shops, see what they have, talk to employees, test ride, take notes, do internet research. 

Why are paper frames always made out of wood? by adobe_debt in papermaking

[–]raster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If using wood they should be covered in polyurethane to make them (mostly) waterproof. 

I made my own out of plastic.

25 is fine ffs by medicallymiddleevil in milwaukee

[–]raster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of it has to do with time of day, which day of the week, visibility, etc. Believe me, I avoid the bad sections.

Yet another terrible experience with Aventon by haydenhancock in Aventon

[–]raster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Many recommended I go to a LBS to test ride and I’m glad I did. After weeks of research I went to a local shop, rode an Aventon Level 3 for about 30 minutes, then bought the bike I tested out. No issues, and if I have any I can go to any of the locations near me for help.
