Hey Fedi Friends!

There is this gap between the lowest silver part and the top of the grayish part that shouldn't be there. I can see bearing balls in the lower part, and the top part is a bit conical.

How do I close this gap?

I tried mild force: loosening everything and tightening the bolt on top to pull everything down resulted in a snapped bolt. Hammering the loosened stem downwards did nothing.

Le #velo #cargo long tail, c’est pas que pour transporter des enfants ! (Photo prise avec l’autorisation du cycliste).

Je lui ai demandé si c’était pour oublier qu’il avait des enfants (3, me disait-il), et il m’a répondu oui à demi-mot.

Yesterday we packed our bikes to go out camping for a night (the first time in over a year). We were looking forward to it the whole week.

And then yesterday when we met up with our friends (25km into the route) the whole squad was joking about returning home. We rode 15–20km together and then decided that we all truly wanted turn around 🤣
The coffee in bed tasted extra nice this morning!

Guess this is what getting older does to you 😄

Bonne fds à tout le monde!
Shop day 🤸‍♀️✨️
Joie!

Je suis en train de terminer mes sculptures du début de l'année. Quand je les fait, j'ai besoin de les laisser vivre un peu avec moi avant de les terminer et de les signer. Je corrige ce qui me gosse. Ici le siège du vélo était mal installé et je devais corriger ça ! Ça me dérangeait. J'ai aussi mis du temps à peaufiner les rayons... 😅 dremel réparé ✌️

Prenez soin de vous!

@kimu: After extensive repairs, I’ve been describing my bike as being in its Ship of Theseus era. But after thinking about it, I realized that might've started a while ago.

Q4a. When's your bike no longer the same bike?

@v_perjorative:

Q4b. What was the Ship of Theseus actually called?

I've now nearly replaced every component on a bike, and I need to know what to rename it.

What's yours called?
