Jemaleddin Cole @jemal.dmv.community.ap.brid.gy · 04/09/2026Trying to figure out what I did to ruin this Ultegra cassette after a year of use. (The three largest cogs are attached to one another via a bracket, as are the next two. The pair are misaligned so that they are at an angle to the rest of the cassette.

Jemaleddin Cole @jemal.dmv.community.ap.brid.gy · 16/05/2026My wife got these Bontrager TLR wheels (old, but unused) as spares for her cross bike and we set them up tubeless.

Jemaleddin Cole @jemal.dmv.community.ap.brid.gy · 02/03/2026@thechildofroth I’ve already asked the RetroGrouches in the Classic & Vintage section of Bike Forums and gotten one wrong answer. 😀 However, I think it might be a March 1984 PGN 10 based on the serial number starting with 403 and the tubing, forks, and seat tube screw matching this description: 000 0
Jemaleddin Cole @jemal.dmv.community.ap.brid.gy · 02/03/2026Here's the bike in question. The serial number is 4034614 and the sticker says it's Reynolds 501 tubes if anyone wants to help me figure out the year/model! :-) #cycling #BikeTooter 210 2

Jemaleddin Cole @jemal.dmv.community.ap.brid.gy · 16/01/2026Hey bike experts: if I have a nicer wheelset with an 8-speed hub and a less nice wheelset with a 7-speed hub, and they both have 32-spoke rear wheels with Shimano hubs, is it possible to swap the freehub bodies between them? Or failing that to loosen all the […] [Original post on dmv.community] 200 2

Jemaleddin Cole @jemal.dmv.community.ap.brid.gy · 08/10/2025#MediaWiki 1.44.1 uses this code to determine if a skin is responsive. DEEP SIGH.
