Why doesn't Swift cut a quick single called, "Ain't Goin' Back." It really could be about anything. Such as, a failed relationship maybe with a sex offender from reality TV and convicted criminal. Denial of a big storm surge while it is happening due to human causes? It would top the charts as...

Jeremy, "We kicked off the season with a massive Repair Fair in Petaluma. Thank you again to everyone who helped out! We fixed 67 items, diverted 786 pounds from the landfill, and avoided 5,110 kg of CO2e emissions! To say nothing of giving over 120 people the joy of reuse."

We had one DTC in this last week that seemed straight forward. Replace dropper cable, and adjust rear brake. We couldn't move the crimped dropper housing. It was crimped by other wires/cables and by the motor. It was a faulty design made by a marketing team with CAD and not by people who...

What are the bikes? Photos in contest?

Ever have that old feeling of feeling old? I did today. An engineer flew out from Specialized in Salt Lake to visit. We have had constant problems with their popular cargo bikes. As she was working we had on modern alternative rock. As I was headed out to pick up lunch she said, 'Your local...

My friend and famous coworker rode Mt. Tam with Danny MacAskill. On a big descent loaded with boulders the riders asked him, 'What will you do in this stretch?' Thinking he was finally in a jam. Danny rode it backwards doing a rear wheelie.

just for fun: Start at 5:59, if you like that see the rest. Look up more, then see Viola Brand.

He and his speech writers and strategists probably said, 'Okay, how can we defuse this and make an opportunity.' I was hoping that the DNC convection would have quoted real Republican leaders, although they had flaws. Nixon on the EPA, R. vs, W., Russia, Trade with China, OSHA, Clean water, Gas...

For good over-all health shoot a little bleach and take some bovine wormer and eat McDonald's every day. Never ride a bike! Use a Pope mobile golf cart and your waist size, butt size, and fitness tone will improve. As well as your selfish proclivities to rape, exaggerate, infidelity's, and fib...

@m@Robertson, how true. On shift cable the strands of wire run the length, not radially, like most brake housing. I have about 19 feet of non-compression brake housing, but it is 5.3mm, too thick for an internal application so far, it has linear strands. It would be ideal for a long bike. Yes...

This Park Tool video has good information with references and links. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=youtube+park+tool+mechanical+disc+brake+adjustment#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:86e214d9,vid:NmqGeLNcVIg,st:0 I also like stainless pad alighnment tools. They are half the thickness...

Great points made by all. Good housing and quality cable make all the difference. I like to shove the drop needle down new housing and get some CLP oil in there. It does not oxidize or get gummy. With my new job we only sell bikes with hydraulic brakes but work on all of them. Saturday a woman...

It takes skill to maintain cable or mechanically actuated disc brakes. There is an inside pad which is fixed that needs constant adjustment in a click as its surface thins, and there is a moving outside pad which also needs to be tightened regularly with pad erosion and cable stretch. Having...

I worked on some of the worst bikes this week, one was a 24 inch tire VaRun which works well in Spanish as a bike name because Va means Go, that is clearly targeted for the teeny busboy market. That VaGo the third bike in the photos above, enlarged with a pro rider edited onto it so it looks...

Yes: The prosecutor who handed the bumbling criminal & sex offender his azz on a platter! And, laughed at the fool. He lost worst than Biden. He baited Biden masterfully. Like a master baiter who can only hold a bible when it is upside down, or it will burst into flames without his middle finger...

The closest I heard is that behind a place that made wontons in Hacienda Heights the bin was filled with cat food tins. Maybe they were attracting the cats to get that famed 'tastes like robin's breast meat' flavor. It would be a lot like eating crow. Hey, let's take out misplaced blame on the...

They're Eating the Cats!

When a bike of this quality came my way the dropouts had to be filed to fit the wheels. The paint flaked off to show yellow primer, nothing worked right and was 100% counterfeit. Instead of making a fuss I ate the scam loss and gave it to a poor disabled guy. Lesson learned, tuition paid. And...
