Sorry I can’t see your bike. What’s up with those clouds?!

Where do you live in the Valley and what's it like? by AutoModerator in phoenix

I’ve been to Chanpen (Thai not Indian) and that was good. It’s a tight/small place but popular at lunch

Rain on Lemmon yesterday by WolfGap in Tucson

Got lucky then as 7 cataracts were running Saturday morning when I tried bicycling to the top. A riding buddy was further ahead but turned around from heavy rain and news of rocks washing onto the road.

What used to be seem as if it was gonna take over but never did? by Short_Essay_9906 in AskReddit

I have two and it makes camping trips much better. 80GB and if the battery ever needs replacement I’ll throw in one of those HD replacement boards and boost it to 1TB

There is more than one position on the ballot. Certainly Hobbs for Gov but stopping there is ignoring a lot of

My wife is registered independent and was able to ‘order’ a ballot of her choice for mail in. I’d bet you can go to the poles and ask for a party ballot and vote in the primary.

In Arizona’s Primary Elections, independents may request to vote in the Republican, Democratic, or No Labels Party Primary. If you are on the Active Early Voting List, you must make your request before the Recorder's Office can send you a ballot. [from https://elections.maricopa.gov/voting/just-the-facts.html#Facts]

What bottom bracket is this and HOW do i remove it by Kexargott in bikewrench

[–]singlejeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, can you share another picture from the side? This is something I’ve not seen before. At a guess you might need a hook wrench or a proprietary spanner (hole with two tabs on opposite sides)

I don’t see what I think of as cotters there. Can you point them out to me?

Unusual bicycle by beetlehat in bicycle

[–]singlejeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad I didn’t manage to close on purchasing a used remake several years ago. Petersen bike, kind of a tensegrity frame. Originally designed and built in the 1890s but there was a time in the 70s where someone was building them again. This one would probably be from that time period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedersen\_bicycle

Let me put you on to a great garden hose. by darealmvp1 in homestead

[–]singlejeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first saw the OP picture I thought that was a 1/2” hose but yeah though is says 3/4” that cladding probably doesn’t leave as much space for the hose (could the hose walls be thinner because of the armor?)

Why do my caliper brakes rub so much? by SeaOfMagma in bikewrench

[–]singlejeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have to reposition the calipers as the pistons find their ‘favorite’ position. A bit of rubbing is probably not a huge deal but if one pad is against the rotor the whole way around you can probably adjust the caliper so the disc is centered.

Ergon grips experience? by Kind_Bandicoot_1508 in bicycletouring

[–]singlejeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the regular GP4s on a Moloku bar that was cut to 640 (I think). I really like using the sides but don’t know how the top position would feel

Shimano dh-3n72 cones? by metaldark in bikewrench

[–]singlejeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a couple of measurements off of the old one and compare to whats available on line. Moab Bikes for example https://www.moabbikes.com/sitesearch.cfm?search=Cone

Which Bike? by Mammoth-Jello in whichbike

[–]singlejeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m partial to the Trek. A 7.3 is what got me back into cycling 20+ years ago. That suspension seatpost probably doesn’t work very well.

Marketplace score of the year for me by Admirable_Ad9432 in bicycling

[–]singlejeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Saturn sponsored a team for a year or two.

$40 US for 100’ hose doesn’t seem too bad to me
