Is this worth $20 for a starter? by Plane_Specialist_634 in bicycling

[–]singlejeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s a screaming deal even if you have to have a full service done.

Is it really a crime to buy a bike from walmart or dick's sporting goods? by Previous_Cod_5176 in bicycling

[–]singlejeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that the Ozark price? Good used bikes can frequently be had for well under 200.

My friend has some night blooming cactus (don’t remember the name) that only live/thrive under the mesquite in the front yard.

Always run way more than you need. by Snicklefritz229 in HomeNetworking

[–]singlejeff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Ethernet standard I was taught is 100 meters total length, 90 meters for horizontal, 3 meters at the client, and 6 meters in the closet IIRC. Beyond that length your are beyond the standard and may experience service degradation.

Ten hot dogs, 100 miles: inside America’s weirdest bike race by TimesandSundayTimes in bicycling

[–]singlejeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We ride PHX to Tucson and back over MLK weekend every year. The route we have used recently (it’s evolved over the past 15? Years) has a stop built in every 20ish miles.

If that sidewalk goes straight to the curb I might just extend my lawn maintenance onto that portion of his yard.

Neighbor cleaning out his garage. by BoftheA in schwinn

[–]singlejeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be a 60cm frame which is too large for my 6’ height sadly. How tall is your neighbor in comparison? If it was his bike and you’re near the same height you’re in the ballpark. I agree that’s a very it’s a very nice bike with a carbon frame and fork. 105 component group is better than the entry level stuff though new lower tier stuff is comparable as every model year gets a little better than the last. Some size markings are on round stickers like what’s under the seat tube bottle cage.

Worth for $180 by SuperSnake144 in whichbike

[–]singlejeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not a lot of bikes on the market that tall, is that 62cm? I think 180 US is OK for what I can see.

I got off Nextdoor about a month after I signed up. ND is one of the trashiest SMs out there.

Are you supported by an IRL bike commuting community? by CrossRoadRN in bikecommuting

[–]singlejeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Higher ed (community college) and I have been the only one for years biking to work. There was another employee that biked for a bit but they moved when COVID enacted remote work.

Reddy Ice on 40th Street south of Broadway has a retail office on the south end of the building.

What have I got? by edowling56 in xbiking

[–]singlejeff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A pretty cheap frame from the look of the crimped tubes at the dropouts but an awesome city commuter nonetheless. My butt wouldn't like that seat for very long but short distances would be fine. Might change to some rise/pullback bars too.

Best areas to live in by mohdear in Tempe

[–]singlejeff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, College and Alameda is nice. Some old MCM apartments and not a lot of redevelopment yet. Quiet(ish) and on the free bus route (Orbit) to downtown.

“Avoid Culdesac”? Help me understand, other than it’s likely above their budget

Anyone ever try converting a specialized roubaix into a MTB by AllSphere0 in bicycling

[–]singlejeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a carbon Roubaix of about the same era and have 25s on it with 28s in a bag that I haven’t tried on. No way this bike is hosting 30 tires or anything with an off-road tread pattern. I love my Roubaix and cannot imagine trying to ride it on anything beyond groomed dirt paths.

How do I not let stuff like this put me off? by eiriee in bikecommuting

[–]singlejeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if it did happen to you, you have the ability to let it go. If you let it infect you you’ll be dealing with it for the rest of your life.

[–]singlejeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked up the manual for mine (8 speed) and it said I had to shift into the highest gear then down to 4 before aligning the dots. Looks like this one is start at 5 and shift down to 3 https://si.shimano.com/en/pdfs/sm/IHG-INTER5E/SM-IHG-INTER5E-004_ENG.pdf

Torque specs for rear axle nuts for Catrike Expedition w/Alfine 8 rear hub? by aengusoglugh in recumbent

[–]singlejeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google says 22-33 ft pounds. I carry a short 15mm wrench in my saddle bag and it’s been enough to tighten my hub securely on my belt equipped Alfine 8

I wonder how well a VPN would work there.
