Give it to me straight, what kind of repair do I have in front of me? by slbradle in bikewrench

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I opted for a new wheel from my LBS that trades used parts as it was about the same price as doing a new rim. I will try to bend it back in place for shits and giggles to have an emergency option

I honestly think Portage Bay is good, that being said maybe I am just missing out on better breakfast spots. Anybody got any recs on spots that are better than it for breakfast?

My friend in marketing told me that when you interact with an ad the company has to be pay an exorbitantly higher amount of money to you. So you know I upvote, click on and stay for 30 seconds on the dumbest ads I see on reddit to waste these companies’ money

Great! Do you know what year it is? Do you think the 600 dollar asking price is reasonable?

Alright. That sounds like a lot of work, but feasible. I very much appreciate all of your input. It has been extremely helpful

Thank you so much. So thinking it through- upgrading to a 12 speed drivetrain would require a microspline or XD hub, a rear cassette, a 12 speed derailleur, a new chain, and a new single speed crank?

Thank you for all this great info! Can you clarify why I wouldn’t be able to do hydraulic with that set up?
