Substitute teaching is outsourced and paid less than poo poo. Teachers have to go in when sick because if no one picks up the sub job then the only option is to farm the kids out to other staff in the building and then your colleagues hate you.

So apparently a tiny little bit of ceramic (from like a broken spark plug), when hurled at a car window, shatters it immediately. I like this idea because otherwise it's incredibly difficult to break safety glass, so it is very easy to feign innocence. I haven't tested this myself, but have considered adding a few to my saddlebag for retribution. Would go well with the valve stem removal tool I carry for similar purposes.

IMO the best part of waxing chains isn't the potentially improved longevity or marginal gains, it's that they're basically as clean, quiet, and smooth as a belt, without the belt complications.

mikemelbrooks posted:One ride on a wet gritty road and they will lose the wax and start to rust. I have to wipe the chain down with a oily rag after a wet ride. We have a gates belt cross over drive on a tandem and it's so much cleaner. We bought the tandem second hand and put around 4000miles on it and afaik it's the original belt. Were you fastidious about chain prep prior to waxing? I've not had this issue...

You feel awkward until you realize that if you were in a car solo going straight they'd be in the exact same situation. I occasionally let people buy if they're waiting patiently, it's a super long light, and there's a ton of room on the inside of the corner.

Brake cable housing is spiral wound to protect against tearing as the lever is pulled increasing the internal "pressure" from the cable itself. Shifter cable housing has the filaments running parallel to the cable, owing to being under much less load and having a greater need for maintaining specific length for indexing to work correctly. You can see which is which by either looking at a cut end or seeing if a subtle spiral is visible through the outer plastic or not. alnilam posted:Shifting cables/housing and brake cables/housing are different from each other. But as long as you get brake cable/housing, yes it's universal, you can walk into any bike shop and get some. A local shop will probably even have cool colors of housing if you want. Have the measurements handy for the housing when you go in. Wouldn't you actually want to replace the housing and keep the cable? It would be pre-stretched and the Teflon/anti-friction coating is part of the housing, right? (I've only ever changed them as a set, so honestly curious) amenenema fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Apr 16, 2024 |

Veskit posted:A while ago someone (or someones) in the commuter thread helped me get my road bike and I still ride and love it. I also have a e bike, but I'm looking for a nice casual city bike that I can ride with people and fit the vibe. It should be under 500, but I'd really like to keep it at 300ish. I'd like smoothness and comfort over speed, and I might go 10 miles tops each way. Not sure the vibe you're looking for but... https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/bik/d/minneapolis-medium-56cm-schwinn-tempo/7734273637.html https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/bik/d/saint-paul-bianchi-cruiser-road-bike/7738202512.html You can also find fashionable singlespeeds new at various places online for 500 and under.
