#followerpower Fällt mir ja spät auf, aber manche Fahrradteile sind Verschleißteile. Also, sind dafür gemacht verschlissen zu werden. So auch meine die ich tauschen will, Kette, Kettenblätter, Kassette.

Der gute Mensch im Fahrradladen sagte also, kein Problem er könne mir einen Satz derselben Qualität wieder einbauen. Die Art wie er das sagte dämmerte mir dass ich mir dieselben Probleme nach einigen Jahren wieder einhandele damit. Professionelles understatement mag ich ja.

Also will ich jetzt was besseres (=haltbareres) kaufen, wo man die Kettenblätter verschraubt und ggf einzeln auswechseln kann, und eine Kette die nicht so ein Spiel entwickelt wie jetzt, jedenfalls nicht schon nach (grob überschlagen) 5000km.

SRAM, diese gut? Ich bin immer noch etwas verloren was Hersteller angeht, und die Vorteilskommunikation verwirrt mich.

New bike parts needed, help me decide


So I have this 7+ years old bike that serves me well for city type getting around. Nowadays the chain might jump when I accelerate, which is not good for busy junctions and generally city traffic.

The bike shop repair guy says "bike has shark" referring to the shape of various worn out bits. I'd be in for 150€ of repair costs in replacement parts and labour. All parts traction need replacing, front, chain and rear. See photos; never mind me not cleaning it. This is all the Shimano SiS and Acera stuff the bike came with. The derailleur gears can stay if you ask me.

What parts can I get in order to a) make the next set last longer than the factory default, and b) maybe save me a buck or two if I'm going DIY? Or should I get something different to max out the mentioned, proposed budget? I'm fine with spending that amount or similar if that gives me both peace of mind and 7+ years of hassle-free cycling.

But. Any bike parts website is giving me a headache. Too many options cause choice pollution. I have a hard time from separating marketing blurbs from statements about, say, durability.

I haven't done this type of work in two decades, however I think I can get it right given half a day or so. Any advice on what to get?

Koncerto de Orliński


Ĉi vespere mi spektis koncerton de Jakub Józef Orliński #LetsBaRock kun komponaĵoj ptezentantajn muzikon mezepokan en la nuntempaj muzikstiloj - ĵazo, roko, popo kaj eĉ hip-hopo.
Mi estas ravita - ĉio kunagordis, la voĉo de la kontratenoro kaj sonoj de liaj kunkorcentantoj fluis intermiksante, kvazaŭ kreante sian propran historion.

New #blog post talking about social media protocols like #ActivityPub, #Nostr, and #AT (Bluesky). It's not entirely new, I posted a comparison in January, but this updated version fixes two mistakes I made and is updated to reflect some changes that occurred since the original post.

Also, as with my previous post, obligatory original meme to accompany the post.

Microblogging Protocols Compared v2

Click Here to skip my introduction and the misc topics. In January of 2024 I published a blog post comparing Activity Pub, Nostr, and AT, and this is a revised …

Hello From Friendica - Quick Activity Pub cross compatibility test

@Fediverse

Hi, sorry, I hope this isn't to spammy, I was revising some writings on the various social media protocols and wanted to test some stuff before I stated it as fact.

Anyway, I might as well provide some potentially interesting information instead of just completely worthless spam. What it appears (and confirms if you're seeing this) is that you can post to lemmy via a blogging/microblogging instance as long as you '@' the lemmy community. First line is the title and the rest is the post itself.

Have a good night everyone.

Yeah, there should be a permalink icon and a fediverse icon (at least on desktop) on each post that you can click on for a link. Pasting that in search on any instance 'should' pull up the post or reply. Worked last night for me on Friendica, but just failed right now with a different link for some reason. The same link that failed on Friendica now just worked on my old Mastodon account, though, so could be be a hiccup or a slightly slow server in my case.
