threatening unwanted physical harm against friends/acquaintences for any reason is morally bankrupt.

the website is clear as mud, for sure. maybe it's like lemmy? or mastodon? can't be sure, and the public demo doesn't make it any clearer.

we all need to agree on a standard for 'about' pages so we can collectively reject those that look like that.

 

As a novice, I come seeking wisdom.

I have an old Rockhopper that I'm looking to strip down to the frame and rebuild into a commuter. I've been learning a lot about gearing and all that, and have been researching parts. I see that there are a lot of 1x10 groupsets and a very small number of 2x9, but nothing really with a lower number of gears on the cassette.

To my untrained mind, a 1x10 would introduce more stress and flex on the chain than a 2x5 would, especially while riding on the extremes. And, with a 2x5 setup, you could (probably?) have better ratios - I'm thinking it should be possible to set it up in a way where one chainring is better suited for climbing, and the other for higher speeds.

Yet, I don't see any 2x5 or even 2x7 sets out there. What am I missing?

Another question: would it even be feasible to custom-build my own drivetrain with a 5-gear cassette, to use with 2 rings on the front, and if so, how complicated would it be?

i feel like it's important to note that this is against the ebay seller agreement, and though ebay does nothing about it if you report it after the fact, leaving feedback with a statement like "this seller drop shipped the item via amazon" helps other shoppers.

generally, though, it's getting easier to tell: higher volume (we're talking 1k or higher, usually) of feedback with less than ~97% positive feedback, is a good first indication of some kind of reseller/dropshipper.

personally, i started shopping on ebay to avoid amazon, so it's a supreme annoyance to have something drop-shipped or gift-shipped through them. I get why some sellers do it, but that doesn't make it right.

100% agree with what you said. I'm sure the new Leaf is great, but I won't buy a bigger car. I'm personally willing to compromise with the subscription lock-in bullshit, and even the current generation bullshit, but I won't at all compromise on size, so when anybody uses terms like 'crossover' or 'hybrid', then they just lost my interest.

imagine these innovations in tech, but on a smaller car. cool, yeah? so, why isn't this happening, then, NOW? maybe because they're hiding something! or maybe because they've already compromised on something or are straight-up being dishonest about something.

i use jmp.chat and love it but be aware that they have a list of banned words, and any outgoing sms (meaning that you send out, incoming messages aren't blocked) containing the banned words will be blocked.

Context: my ebike has 19mm nuts on the rear axle (and 15mm on the front). I have an old Proto wrench that's a 15mm/18mm, so i'm wondering if i could replace the rear nuts with 18mm nuts instead, so i can carry around one less wrench.

The bike is an Eahora Cupid with a 1000w motor if that makes any difference.
