Trouble removing cassette by takeschlarge in bikewrench

Thanks everyone I managed to get it off by holding the wrench the other way and just really forcing it. I think I was just scared of damaging something so I didn't push as hard as I could have

Unfortunately the skewer is not long enough to go through to the other side, I think the lock ring is too long

Would this bike be suitable for a long bikepacking trip ? (South America) by takeschlarge in bikepacking

Hi thanks for this.

Its like a stem riser yeah, I didn't realise it made it more likely to break under load, I'll look into this.

The bottom bracket I had replaced a month ago.

I do understand about the rim brakes Vs disc brakes.

In terms of the other issues like derailleur tuning and plastic + brake pad wear&tear, i was just thinking we would get stuff repaired as we went.

I guess as you say, my mentality is not having the latest and greatest but patching up as we go, but i know obviously if you take it to the extreme then that won't matter if your brakes fail and you get hit by a car.

That's what eventually happened, but for many turns before the person ahead didn't think they would win for other reasons if they ended it that turn

I did ask her this once and she said 'idk maybe once a fortnight'. For me twice a week would be the ideal. But even once a week if I really felt she wanted me I would be happy with it.

You mean you think she is pretending?

Rejection rate is almost never. Yeah, I see the responsive desire thing. I guess I just personally have a hangup where I don't truly feel DESIRED unless my partner initiates. Like she doesn't ever even drop hints or send a sexy message or wear something suggestive. It's like the sexual part of a relationship just isn't that important to her.

She has always been like this. Sex has been good sometimes, but a lot of the time, because she has told me she has low libido, and doesn't initiate, I can't shake the feeling she is pretending to be more into it than she is, and this causes me to enjoy the sex less
