I can’t imagine it hurting anything to ride like that, but LBS would probably change if for $10 or so.

Im assuming It has been like that sense the crash, and just have not noticed. If that’s the case I have put over a hundred miles on it and it’s been fine. Worst case I break a spoke tomorrow.

2. I put the front wheel on just to see how it looked and to make sure the hub wasn’t weird, (whyfi and abshipp had not responded yet. Wheel fit like a dream and no play so I am happy. Brakes are rubbing and I am assuming if I put my rear wheel on they would rub as well. What do I need to do about that? I am assuming it’s a simple fix. Super stoked!
If it's rubbing pretty badly, like dragging the wheel to a stop, then re-center as described by genejockey - if the wife isn't around to hold the brake lever for you, find a rubber band to hold the lever while you snug the caliper.
If it's kissing the pads pretty lightly, just re-set the pistons when you have the wheel out. Put a thin blade/lever between the pads and give it a twist to push the pistons back in to the caliper a little. Firm but slow - you're pushing fluid out of the caliper and all the way back up the line to the reservoir in the hoods. When you pop the wheel back on, you'll have to pump the lever a few times to get the pistons/pads back in position, but they should re-center on their own.

If the rotors are pretty badly out of alignment with each other, figure out which is further inwards and get shims to move the rotors outwards and in to agreement with the other so that you don't have to re-adjust every time you swap the wheels.

Should be ok. Got some like that on the rear of my Gunnar from when a guy stuck his handlebar in it at an intersection.

I’m not too wild about the development. It’s way overpriced for a volume builder development. The houses are really close together and close to the street. And, it’s right across the street from the city dump. They have really hyped it. They did do a good job with the community pool and other amenities. Prefer my own pool though.
I didn't realize how popular chess is until this month. There are streaming channels with thousands of people viewing.
Then you can watch quality basketball from the comfort of your salon.

Went for a nice tramp (hike) on the weekend. Interesting weather. It was really hot and fine on Saturday. Sunday started cool and overcast, progressed to cool rain with side order of wind and then cleared up and became fine and warm for the last half hour. I drank over 3 litres of water on Saturday and only 1.25 litres on Sunday.
Good trip though. Got to tick another hut off my list.
typical old musterers hut.

Came home and caught up on the America's Cup challenger series racing. American Magic had a spectacularly bad day. Luckily all the sailors are ok. Their boat, not so much. At least it is still afloat, just.

Put your thumb on it and bend it back. Its steel it can take a little deformation and be ok, thats not really where the stress is. Most times they break at the threads, from a stress riser or from the J bend .
