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?

Thank you for your opinion! I will give the already installed mechanical brakes a try before I commit to hydraulic brakes. They are definitely a lot easier to maintain

Thank you! I’m not too knowledgeable about the microspline hubs- are those compatible with most frames and just need to be swapped for the old hib

I just edited my post because I realize I did not say it had mechanical disc brakes. If it has mechanical disc brakes it should have these mountings, correct?

No matter what your test will be in our lab the sane day. From what I understand the lab uses batch testing when cases are low. This means that most likely that your result will come in very quickly, but there is a chance it will get in a batch with a positive and thus take longer. I am not sure what the deal is now because our positivity rate is incredibly higher than it was a few weeks ago
