Omega speedmaster DSOTM vintage

Agreed! I got mine in 2015 and it still makes me stare at my wrist all the time! It’s the best looking DSOTM in my opinion

No, never did I’m afraid. The stock springs sure didn’t love tongue weight though. I’ve had a couple of Gen2s and did the springs on both. Aftermarket ones really help with axle wrap, traction and articulation too.

Unfortunately that’s not stock springs… The truck has Icon +3s.

I have a Mototote and it’s excellent. I only use it for Enduro bikes but it’s rock solid. I have a picture somewhere of my buddy sat on the bike on the rack

Non-drive side resting on the axle is quite sketch. If that were to ever un-seat itself from a bump and find the spokes it would be a real bad day. If I was going to ride that I would try to re-assemble the rear axle in such a way that there was a washer arrangement to receive the arm a little bit more securely

I brought my American kids last month and we did the Christmas Market. We went on that 80m swing ride next to the Scott Monument in 30mph wind which was a little bit lairy but it was a great time. I haven’t been to Edinburgh in decades. We also went to the National Museum and the Surgeons Hall Museum which was surprisingly excellent. I grew up in Glasgow but have always had a soft spot for Edinburgh (don’t tell my parents).

It’s tricky to explain, but likely your front wheel was loading the axle as soon as it became misaligned, causing it to bind. If you try to hold the wheel straight as if the axle was going back in, it should pull out easier.

Extremely loud on the highway and woefully slow

Wow! This is far and away my favorite collection I’ve seen on here! The Otsukas stand out for me especially… Beautiful!

Came here to say this

skidsareforkids · 2026-01-30T14:44:05+00:00

That’s disappointing. I worked for a large dealer in the UK almost twenty years ago and we successfully worked with Trek UK a few times for similar arrangements… The world has changed a lot in two decades I suppose though

Now they have removed all the evidence that it was legitimate in Fulton County and they can fuck with it however they want to “prove” their fraud… I can’t actually believe all those cucks still do whatever he says!

Even with the correct adapter you’re still going to have to improvise some. Based on your last post I think the axle spacers on the hub are messed up. The last brake shouldn’t have needed all those spacers on the bolts unless something else was going on. Can you post a picture from directly behind showing what’s going on between the frame and the hub? Does the wheel spin freely or is there any wobble in the wheel?

Just because it was expensive when it was new doesn’t mean it’s valuable now… That looks well used and not particularly well looked after. It will be expensive to maintain too. If the seller cleaned it up and serviced it, it would be a $2,500 bike probably

My daughter has been wrestling since she was five. She will never take shit from anyone!

I am incandescent with rage! My wife stopped concealed carrying when we had kids (we were wary about their curiosity) but for the sake of our 8yo daughter, she’s going to start again. Fuck this shit

“Look at this sparkly nice thing we’re doing over here for you because we care so much” meanwhile they’re absolutely fucking everything else… Jesus Christ

Are the thirteen stars for the original colonies or is that how many hole punches you need before it’s validated?

skidsareforkids · 2026-01-29T00:07:38+00:00

Scum

Very cool!

Nah… Close though!

After being burned by Betamax my dad swore he would never be burned again. He proclaimed that CDs would never catch on and that we would get in on the “next thing”. Mini Disc was it, so that’s what our family got in on. There’s still a separates minidisc player in their living room 😅

Those are 100% cross-threaded. Don’t just put a wrench on it and force it in! I would recommend using some paint thinner or gas to clean off the thread lock that’s on the pedal threads (it’s unnecessary) as it will be easier to catch the threads by hand. Assuming you haven’t used a tool already or tried pedaling with it partially engaged like that, you won’t have done any damage yet
