on a mtb, the pedals need to be removed. i was able to remove one, but the other is just stuck. it's usually a 15mm wrench that goes on there, but that's too big and 14mm is too small. I'm lucky that it's old and it got space for bigger tools. i put an adjustable wrench on it and stopped the pedal with a straight bar for my weights. i've sprayed wd40 on it for the last few days, but it's a no go. any tips? also, tips for removing a completely stuck seatpost? i also sprayed wd40 on it, but it's still stuck in the frame. can't rotate it, can't lift it out.

What rack is that?

Ohhh hey that's perfect! didn't knew the cx comps were in that size. that's a perfect tire for me. Thank you so much!

and something i could order would be nice. it also looks like those tires are around 40 pounds each which is over double of what i would be willing to spend. (for this thing i'd prefer a 5 pound of a 10 pound tire)

a colleague handed me an old but still decent mountain bike that he wanted to get rid off. the problem is, that thing needs new tires.

Marked on the rim: araya 26x1.50 he vp-20

It's a 20mm wide rim.

Does anyone know a cheap cheap cheap tire that might fit on that's a bit better for road use and occasional offroading (more like a cx tire i guess). I want to use it as a pub bike and maybe occasionally go off road if i can find a place for that.

(with all those different tire sizes it's so incredibly confusing)

Get off the boat, turn left, keep the sea at your left side at all time, stop at your destination :)

I'm flying to the UK tomorrow and it looks like I will not be taking a knife with me. I own about 50 knives but it looks like none of them are legal in the UK :S. I'm not even able to take my multi-tool with me! Even the small pocket knife I take with me to work to open packages and whatnot, is illegal.

It's not the same, but it's still lovely. I've always been amazed by the Pias frameset. It's still on my list of frames to someday buy.

reminds me off:

(they look so good in real life but they also sparkle)

Hmmmmm, i'm missing a screw indeed.

It looks like the correct movements. They all worked fine for a while but now they start moving around in there. This one has the least amount of play (only one I got at work):

Sorry for the VVS video, noticed it too late.

3 out of the 4 Russian watches I have are refusing to cooperate. Those three all have the same problem, the entire inside of the watch is moving around. If you move your wrist around you can hear the mechanism move around on the inside of the watch. I've opened all of them and checked for things that could be wrong but I see no system in place that should keep the entire mechanism stable. 1 of them now went to a full stop. It won't do anything anymore. I should find a cheap watch maker.

Like everyone else, I recommend to just follow the coast line. Last time I did that route, the roads were smooth and easy to follow and it's a nice interval training :)

That might have been it. I've only seen it online and they had two watches that looked like the 007 and the 009 by design. If that's the 013, it makes a lot of sense. I didn't see any model number and there was a sticker on the back preventing me to see if there was a marking there. Guess I should look at another jewelery

So, I went to a jewelery store to see if I like the SKX007 in real life. I had it on my wrist but it's such a tiny tiny watch. It really surprised me. On most of the pictures I see, it looks like a big watch when I see pictures on google, but on my wrist it looks more like a childrens watch.

Lovely combination.

Ahhh ok that sounds good. Any tips of getting rid of the date part?

This is the back of the watch. It can rotate freely. if you put it in the right way, you put a small ring in that should (I think) keep it stable. On that goes a rubber seal, on top of that the back cover and on top of that a lock ring. When you put it all together again the mechanism can still move around until it hits something (so it can lift 2/3mm on the top and bottom. The only place it's attached is on the axle that's connected to the "button" on the outside that you use to wind and set the watch with. It's strange. Will look at it again tonight.

It's not NATO, but sort of near NATO. It's from Daniel Wellington but I would NOT recommend it. The strap is expensive but bad quality. It has "rose gold" lugs etc. It's difficult to clean and I have Chinese NATO straps that are of better quality material. I got new straps coming in soon. Only problem I have with it now is that the entire inside of the watch got loose. Everything from the mechanism with the hands and the dial are now "floating" in there. I have to open it up when I have some time and find a way to repair it.

I'm considering a Seiko SKX.

I would prefer the bezel of the 009 if it was black/red but it's blue/red
I prefer the black dial of the 007
Is there a no-date version or do I have to get it modded for that?

short and make them wider would be impossible

How wide do I need to cut my risers? I know there was a sort of logic for it. Can't remember what it was.
What are the best grips? Something that doesn't slide off
