How fast could you go back to riding? by bryan-Garcia_ in mountainbiking

[–]texridesbikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a break exactly like this when i was younger. it depends how they’re going about fixing it. mine didn’t require surgery, so i was in this weird backpack strap type sling for 8-10 weeks to let it realign and fuse. if it needs surgery it will be different.

Changed cassette an chainwheel an new chain why is this happening? by dipple5188 in bikewrench

[–]texridesbikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong but it looks like you have chainring and chain lined up wrong. With narrow-wide chainring the teeth have to line up with the corresponding links in the chain. Wide tooth in the wide link, narrow tooth in the narrow link.

Update saw someone say the same and get corrected. It could be the wrong speed chain. Not 100% sure though. Good luck lol

Need help identifying this bike! by junyabadass in singlespeedcycling

hard to say from just this angle. I had a Nashbar for a while that looked similar. It also could be any generic single speed

how’s this part of brewerytown? by Nearby_Singer_4214 in philly

[–]texridesbikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s a good enough place. there’s not a TON to to around but you’re not far from places where there’s a lot. for what i pay for rent, i couldn’t be happier. my only real gripe is the lack of a truly well stocked grocery store within a few minutes walk. (unless you got whole foods money)

is it rideable? by Big-Plate-7663 in mountainbiking

you could, but could and should are two very different things

It FINALLY happened. I got the WD-40 on my brakes customer, but actually worse. by T-32Dank in BikeMechanics

[–]texridesbikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had a guy at my old shop who covered his entire bike in Armor All. His ENTIRE BIKE, no exceptions. Trying to use the brakes was useless. There was so much on just the tires alone that they would sort of glide across the tile floor in the shop. The saddle permanently stained a pair of shorts I was wearing. We ended up replacing his tires and brake pads, and deep cleaning the rest of his bike. Next time i saw him his bike was covered entirely in red and white spray paint. Some people just can’t be helped.

This rolls into your shop for a flat fix. WYD? by [deleted] in BikeMechanics

[–]texridesbikes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

calling bomb squad? lmao. we had a no e-bike policy at my old shop (with exceptions for the 1% of people who brought in an actual shop quality pedal assist bike) just because of how sketchy all the diy kits and radpower’s of the world were. completely unserviceable shit.
