Tore apart my Shimano Nexus 8 hub for an oil bath conversion.

huh, I wish I knew about internally geared hubs when I was breaking my deraillers off. Cheers  :)

I haven't used derailleurs much. How do you break one off?

I have broken a few by hitting them on rocks/logs while riding down trails.  :(

It's not clear how often you'll have to re-grease the insides.

[HoffmanMyster]

I moved from county Cardiff to another county in South Wales. A whole ****ing mile from my old house. Now I have to pay council tax to another authority. But my new flat is cheaper, so, it's less ****ing taxes!

See, I originally read "country", because I suck at speed reading.

Me too.  -_-

Well, practically never or once every 30000 km. But that's really mostly for the bearings.
I use it over longer distances and at higher speeds so I noticed for a while that it was running heavier than usual. (25000 km on it or so?)
Ordered a €20 maintenance kit, some ball bearings and some grease and that was it.

Most people won't have to do anything during the lifecycle of the bike.

Been hanging out with R1N3 a bunch. We built an Orion V2, ate Korean food and some great American style smoked ribs, and went thrifting. It's been a lot of fun <3

No bumps for me, the cogs broke free of the hanger. I suppose that should have been the starting point when I refurbished an 80s era world sport

Damn, that's a lot. I had a similar repair bill after I hit a curb while jumping over something at speed and subsequently had to have my rear wheel rebuilt. :(

I played Pokémon Yellow on my cousin's GB. Never had my own, and I couldn't save the game.
I bought FireRed when I got my DS Lite, and that was the first Pokémon game I owned.

Haven't played in a while. Thinking of getting a Yellow ROM hack so I can catch all 151 without trading.

FireRed is good.    ROM hack, eh?  I'll have to look into that.  Do they just sprinkle in the trade-only ones where they show up in other games?

I played Blue originally on the original GameBoy with a bunch of buddies who all had Red.  Oddly enough when I moved a few years back I found my original big ass gray GameBoy with Blue still in it and still on the original save file I had opened almost 20 years ago!

Pastel Miami, baby.    I don't play regularly, but I break it out every once in awhile.

I'll have to recheck. I think some gym leaders were beefed and some moves were altered, but otherwise they'd have some new method of catching them all.

Last night my roommate dumped an entire cup of juice on his keyboard  so today I cleaned it all out, cleaned and lubed switches and modded the plate a bit.

Went from this:

You can't anodize steel, might just oil it a bit, I really doubt there will be enough moisture to rust the plate (unless someone spills juice on it again)

You can anodize steel, just can't anodize all types of steel properly. How about some powder coating?

well DO NOT use oil, because the dust will form a fuzzy layer beneath the caps. and you'll have a hell of a time cleaning that..
