I'm trying to remove a thoroughly stuck press-fit bottom bracket (applying raw force and a lot of cursing, neither helps). Who ever thought these were a good idea should be punished. Luckily they're mostly out of fashion again.... #bicyclerepair #bicycle #diy

Modified some SPD-SL road bike shoes to take SPD mountain bike plates for use with hybrid pedals.
They were suspiciously half-prepared to take those but clearly not intended to be used that way by the manufacturer.

Trouble Dec 20

@ascentale @bikenite A1. Posting from home, Santa Clara, CA doing some needed #BicycleRepair ; replacing a rear tube, I found that my cassette needs replacing! I've never seen the external plating rubbed off like that before (but now I need a Bafang-specific tool to remove it; $35-50 sigh) #BikeNite

Well, crud. I'm trying to get a 1980s mountain bike back on the road, but one of the brake pads is missing the rubber, and apparently smooth-post pads for center-pull brakes are no longer a thing. Anyone have suggestions or resources? (Not doing a restoration, just hoping my wife and I might bicycle to the Mexican restaurant a mile away on some pleasant evening.) #bicyclerepair c @ai6yr

I broke a spoke on the rear wheel of my old racing bike a few days ago. Just fixed it. First had to remember how to remove an old Shimano 5 speed cassette. The smallest sprocket is the lock ring with these. The other sprockets could be replaced with parts of newer cassettes if I took the time to file down their larger splines (they're all the same on this older system). However nothing looks very worn so I'll continue with the 13/14/15/16/17 gears for now and hope that the Netherlands doesn't suddenly sprout hills.
