What is your ideal urban / village like?

  • Check out /c/[email protected] and you'll get a pretty good idea of my pick of an ideal city.

    Can someone recommend a good resource for getting a neglected bike back into riding condition? What tools I need, what sort of parts I should check if they need replacement, so on?

  • If you're more into YouTube video tutorials, check out RJ the bike guy

    Getting paid for a US contract?

  • I've used e-transfer, PayPal, and Wise (formerly TransferWise) and they all work. I'm a bigger fan if wise since the conversion fees are the lowest.

    You should not charge tax since its a US company and you don't owe hst on that work (still need to for income tax though obviously).

    Haven't used a business account before so I can't speak to the pros and cons of that approach

    Interesting hack - fixing stripped screw holes with hot glue. Wonder if it works.

  • Dowels work too if you've got them. I use that method for concrete too, since I find tapcons frequently fail to grab. Drill out the concrete hole larger than the screw. Shove a dowel or a bunch of toothpicks/splinters into the hole, then drive the tapcon or a wood screw in. Holds like crazy since the wood conforms to the concrete wall imperfections. Might rot over time though. Maybe plastic is better.

    What is a good resource for me to learn about this type of break and how to fix it?

  • Check out RJ the bike guy on YouTube for great repair videos for old bikes.

    Here's an example if you need to change out the calipers with a different mounting system.
