  • Or 5024.

  • Guys
    Would a soma fog cutter fork first gen, play nice with a front rack? Meaning, if the hole for the fender is strong enough to be used to attach the pizza rack for example, would never have a super heavy load, nobody will sit on the rack appart from a few beers

  • I think @BareNecessities has or had a Fog Cutter, they might know

  • Could be. They certainly look like a closer match.

  • I've got a bike (Genesis iO iD Alfine 8) that's been sat in a bike hangar for the past year and is a bit knackered. Both brakes (hydraulic) will need recabling as will the gears (alfine 8 hub) plus a general service, stuff lubricating, etc.

    Any very rough estimates on how much that would cost at a bike shop, I've got pretty much no idea?

  • there are many more qualified on here who will likely answer (i.e. bike mechanics) but for a full general service with gear adjustments I reckon I've paid around £80-100 in the past.

  • Call your lbs ? : )

  • Both brakes (hydraulic) will need recabling

    You sure? If it's just been left then they're either fine as is, or will maybe need a bleed if they're DOT fluid based. I'd estimate whatever your local places charges for a service (£60 from me, not London prices) plus possibly a chain, sprocket and maybe he's cable, brake bleeds extra if needed, about £20 per brake.

  • Is there a way of representing a 2x2 logic matrix within a flowchart without repeating a question in 2 separate locations? I've got 2 binary questions that I need to ask, but putting them in either order collapses the possible paths down to only 3 of the 4 possible outcomes for the 2 questions.

  • Cheers all. Will be popping into my LBS but just wanted a vague idea. At least one of the brake cables is snapped so will definitely need that one replacing.

  • To all the fixie skidders out there, the question that has been bothering me since I started riding fixie: do bmx pedals and straps keep the shoes clean(er)?
    Basically all my shoes look like these thanks to the leather straps, and since I'm heading towards adulthood I feel like that's something I should change.

  • If the hose is broken then that could be more pricey depending on brakes a new hose can be up to £40 and it'll be at least another £25 labour on top of the service cost.

  • Is there anything that exists or that I could modify to fit a (roughly) 35x10x10cm spare battery for a cargo bike plus maybe a few extra little bits and bobs? I'd like something sturdy that I could lock (happy to drill and attach a padlock, it doesn't need to be mega secure) and could be bodged to attach to a pannier rack.

    On the contrary, the SUV (of which the Range Rover is both the original and most egregious example) is the epitome of childish stupidity

  • you are absolutely right

  • Yes. for simple questions, the pattern on the left is readable.

    For more complex, longer questions (edit: or if you genuinely need to represent the two questions in the form they are presented to a human) I'd separate the question text from decision logic as on the right.

  • Sooo... do bmx pedals and straps keep your shoes cleaner?

  • Stop wearing fucking white shoes.

  • Cheers, I'll have a proper look at it and then chat to the shop. It's a bit of a faff as it's not rideable at the moment so will probably have to put it in the car to take it in.

  • Here's your answer.

  • Pffft, that’s not strap rash. Proper strap rash has big rusty gouges cut into the front of your Converse and a hole in the side of the sole from the quill! Wear it with pride!
