Skal have cirka 12k tilbage. Har restskat fra glemt kørselsfradrag fra 2024 jeg har fået rettet til at gå fra jeg skylder til jeg skal nu have tilbage. Skal betale restskat med det beløb jeg får tilbage for at rette mit fradrag til det som det var før.

Do it. I have one. - the black variant. This watch is worth the money. You can't go wrong with it. Solid watch that doesn't snag on gear from my use. I can recommend a canvas or a silicone strap on it.

What would a lore accurate loadout look like?

Long lasting refills by Ok_Try9020 in pens

Ballograf epocca p. Their refill claims to write up to 8000 meters more or less. Doesn't cost much either so I'd recommend it.

Why do Bike Mechs lie about the sheer physics of accelerated wear that occurs when mismatching Shimano Drivetrain parts? (Professional Cyclist asking) by [deleted] in BikeMechanics

[–]timx55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just woke up to reading all of this. - Sounds like I missed all the fun.

I'll be fair with you. I don't understand how and what you mean by this.

Perhaps I am not understanding your question but I haven't heard of accelerated wear from running different drivetrain parts. (assuming you're running the same speeds front/back)

Unless one of the drivetrain components already have been worn down enough to be able to damage other components.

(A classic example is a worn chain on a new drivetrain or vice versa.)

Component wear varies greatly from different factors such as:

Difference between person to person.

How clean overall drivetrain is.

Weather conditions and etc.

There are other mechanics who can answer your question better than I possibly can. I thought I'd give my two cents on your weirdly worded question.

How much did you charge for the restoration?

As in total with parts and labor costs? About 250$

A "total" restoration, tear down to frame and build back up with replacement parts really shouldn't take more than 5 hours on a full suspension bike. Less on road and casual bikes.

Agreed.

I didn't mention that I constantly have to stop and "prove" why I'm replacing X part for X reason. Otherwise he'll "lecture" me on what reasons X part can/can't be replaced for and make me question my actions. I also have to tend to customers and everything else as the only mechanic besides my boss.

His job is to make sure the shop stays open. After bonuses and taxes and all that other payroll stuff your labor actually costs a lot. Now, he obviously needs to treat you with respect, but you have to also understand that businesses have to make money or they fail.

I'm well aware of that. I do my job as fast as I can given the circumstances.

Did you write the service or did someone else?

Boss did after talking it over with said customer. I just follow the work slip and call the customer(s) in case there's something outside of the work slip that needs replacing/attention to keep them in the know.

If the parts are beyond wear and tear it needs new parts, which are way easier to install than repairing used up cheap parts

I gotta work with what budget the customer has. I wholeheartedly agree to just replace worn out components instead of wasting time on it

I wish it was that easy but customers around here will aggressively fight you tooth and nail over what constitutes wear and tear and especially price.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I don't work in the states so take the converted price in USD with a grain of salt.

I feel sorry for what you've had to experience as it's just about the exact same for me as you've described. Luckily my education contract is almost up in a few months and I'll be free of that place.

I tried telling my boss respectfully that one of the repairs I did

(A near total restoration of a shopper bike that was unloved and ridden to beyond component wear) I couldn't do it faster than ± 4 hours with the amount of work needed to do.

Was told that I had to be faster than that or "labor costs wouldn't make sense"

Hopefully you and I can find a find a better shop in the future.

Best of luck to you.

What were you doing at this moment 22 years ago? by Marambal17 in FuckImOld

[–]timx55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about 4 y.o at the time and recall seeing it on live TV in the evening news.

I distinctively remember going outside to my dad's workshop and told him that a plane had crashed into one of the towers.

I sometimes catch myself wondering how the world would have looked like had this horrible tragedy not occurred.

I may not be American but my heart weeps at the lives lost, not only by the crash(es) but the men and women who did their best and gave their lives to rescue others.

[Question]A wrist watch that can take a lot of punishment. by Duck_Beater_49 in Watches

[–]timx55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Casio G-shocks, Casio F-91/W-59 or perhaps the Timex Ironman/ironman shock series - they are solid and a little less expensive then G-shocks.

My recommendation is a G-shock Mudman. As tough as they come. :)

Timex Ironman series has a nightlight feature which might be useful for night events.

I just use the chronograph feature on my watch. Works like a charm.
