WolfinPDXFinished the folding bike today too.Upgraded the stem to a metal one, and to adapt to any standard handlebars. New 7 speed thumb shifter to replace the broken grip shifter. New brake levers, new grips. Replaced the saddle with one I had on another bike. Installed lighter removable plastic fenders. Added a bottle or travel mug holder. Bought a Rhinowalk bag. Looking to sell it. US$150. I have too many bikes now. Please be local. Prefer you can come get it from me.It was a fun project. I learned a lot. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PDX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PDX</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/bike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bike</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

WolfinPDXI am super late to the Cheap Bike Build-Off this year. I came damn close to restoring this bike I salvaged from a Dumpster on budget. I went over the $150 limit by about $20. The bell and water bottle put me over. That's okay.My partner's kid is going to buy it from me for $150. Needs a way to get to and from work. I'm very pleased with how it came out. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

Marty Cormack<a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/30DaysOfBiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#30DaysOfBiking</a> Day 5: The rain this morning ended just in time for me to take my <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BromptonBicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BromptonBicycle</a> out to ride the North Shore Channel Trail, and I had enough time to ride the entire length for the first time. I found that the South end is only 1.2 miles from where the grandkids live. The section through <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Skokie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Skokie</a> has a lengthy sculpture park. And I spotted where the channel flows into the North Branch of the <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Chicago" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chicago</a> River to increase its flow for sanitary purposes. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

(ideally I will use salvage level stuff which I can fix... more for the experience. i.e. if I see a 26 inch wheel with no spokes and hub, should I try to build a wheel, etc.?)<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BikeNiteQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeNiteQ</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BikeNite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeNite</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cycling</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MastoBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastoBikes</a> cc <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bikenite" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bikenite</a>

David HembrowI've painted the shed and the fence this morning, planted a few veg, and now it's time to build a new wheel for my two-wheeled recumbent.The freehub in the existing wheel has decided to be "free" more often than it should be. Sometimes it works just fine, and other times when I pedal the pedals just spin without doing anything. I'll probably take the hub apart and see if it's salvagable, but first I'll get the new wheel in use.It's an old bike, about 27 years old now, but it suits me. It's comfortable, nice to ride, and I'm used to it. This is the fourth time I've rebuilt the rear wheel. The other occasions were twice due to wearing down the rim too much when braking, once when the original hub failed, and once when someone in the UK drove into me on my commute to work and destroyed the wheel (luckily I wasn't hurt on that particular occasion). <a href="https://hembrow.eu/personal/pashleypdq.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hembrow.eu/personal/pashleypdq.html</a>I have a fair number of these perfectly good and reasonably inexpensive rims in stock should any of you want one: <a href="https://www.dutchbikebits.com/20-inch-rim" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.dutchbikebits.com/20-inch-rim</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/dutchbikebits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dutchbikebits</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/biketooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biketooter</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cycling</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/wheelbuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wheelbuilding</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/regel17" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#regel17</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/ReduceRepairReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReduceRepairReuseRecycle</a>
