Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

of course not. This one was bent from an impact of some kind. It was cracked for a while. If another one fails I'll buy more but Ima roll the dice for now.

The question was about Mojo31 being an a-hole. He is clearly not the a-hole in this instance. Case closed.

Post a view of his back yard from your back yard and I will make my ruling.
His available options do not include illegally discharging into a storm water system or discharging into a neighbors property. Both are prohibited by state statutes, counselor.

By the way, you are not Judge Harvey.

Ended up taking a cab home for $100. Mavic said no more warranty so I paid for another rim and sold the wheelset after it was fixed.
these have a lot of miles on them. I bought them from a forum member years ago. If they get that bad I'll just part them out on ebay. They don't owe me anything.

Ours is about 32-33,000 per the builder. His is about the same, or maybe a bit smaller.

Our max depth is 5.5’, but it’s pretty long and wide.

Not an *******. An ******* would have just called the authorities and got him in trouble. That is the ruling on the field.

The fact that he was doing something illegal doesn't necessarily shield you from also being an a-hole.

If I deliberately drive the speed limit in the "fast lane" to slow people down, am I being an a-hole?

His mentioning the condition of the bushes was irrelevant to the question (tainting our view of the neighbour). But, since he mentioned it, we could judge whether or not he was objectively describing the situation.

The two little prongs on the derailleur, if you haven't gotten it adjusted, should straddle the pokey part of the derailleur hanger. Loosening up and repositioning the pokey part should improve the alignment (and shifting).

Coincidentally, my buddy just sent me a message asking whether it's normal that his Bontrager rear wheel measures 133.54mm OLD. 1.5mm isn't a lot but could make things a little more difficult to install. What does your frame and hub measure?

Almost like the fork is flexing too much.
There are a lot of times that I can't get a disc brake to not rub. It's likely either a fork flex issue as you mentioned or the brake caliper mounts are not faced correctly.

The hubs are 105 SC from the early 1990s.
