seems to work now!

is the link broken for anyone else? it seems to just redirect to the imgur homepage.

this has been my only bike for probably five years or so, and i haven't had to do anything with the belt. so far as i can tell, it really is basically maintenance free.

i don't really know much about belt drives beyond the basics and my own specific bike. i didn't even know there were different types until ya'll started bringing them up.

the internally geared hub is a bit of a PITA, but idk if that's normal, or if mine is just janky. i also have no idea how old my bike is originally, since i got it used from a community bike shop. my hub though has an annoying habit of 'skipping' if you apply too much torque, and slipping out of the low gear unexpectedly. i wish it had something like a schlumpf drive with some variety of single speed hub instead.

my bike is a used Priority. i haven't needed to replace the belt yet, but it should be fairly simple. the frame has a little piece to remove to get it out. as for comparing with a single speed, i can't really say, as i haven't had a single speed bike since i was a wee lass, and that was ages ago.

edit: it looks like a new version of my bike uses a gates drive, but idk the difference.

i got mine used a fair few years ago, but i think it's this bike from Priority, except mine has a basket on front, and a rack with a file crate in the back. it has 3 gear hub, and honestly i think that makes a way bigger difference to pedalling than the belt, as it skips if i apply too much torque (idk if that's normal for shimano hubs, or if mine is just janky though).

my bike is belt drive. i love it. what're you wondering?

goodbye

The Problem With Popplers!

i used to have a multi-planar setting that had some weird ones. one i particularly liked was a world on the interior of a cylinder. gravity was parallel to the axis of the cylinder, so all the inhabitants, mustly a subspecies of brightly colored elves, lived hanging off of these cliffs overhanging a bottomless pit. the plane wasn't infinite, but it was looping, so if you went down or up enough, you'd get back to where you started.

probably most of them do. epubs are mostly html after all.

wikipedia article on the Canad-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement, if anyone, like me, didn't know about it.

there's some niche communities i occasionally check in on on reddit, but i've basically abandoned the site ever since the api debacle killed my preferred app. i mostly just browse on mobile so a decent app was important to me.

slams buzzer* what are fun things to put in a nazi's gas tank.

this is operating under the erroneous assumption that modern terfs have any connection to feminism beyond the moniker.

that's cuneiform, actually. it isn't chiselled into stone, but rather, is pressed into wet clay with a stylus. the more you know!

closer to 25%, actually. about a million voted for trump, out of about 4 million total oklahomans. regardless, this article isn't about trump voters specifically getting fucked over, and rueing their own stupid actions and choices, this is about elderly and disabled people throughout the country, regardless of their voting history, getting fucked over. seems off topic for the sub.

this doesn't really strike me as a 'leopards ate my face' moment, unless we're just meant to assume everyone living off of social security voted for cheeto hitler. or is this community just becoming a place for laughing at the misfortunes of united statesians in general?

an exception to what?

i don't remember that bit, but i've only read all the way through it once, and that was a long while ago.

so, every part of the montana capitol building ought to be a gender neutral bathroom now, yeah?
