  6. @MartyCormack asks about electronic shifting:

    My road bike at home has an issue with shifting, I don't know if the cable is bad (most likely), the shifter is broken or if it's something else.
    The road bike I'm provided this week on tour has electronic shifting, which is intriguing since I go through shifter cables once or twice a year.

    Q7: What are the pros and cons of electronic shifting versus cable shifting?

  11. @Karstan asks:

    Q6. Are there any current or former professional bike mechanics on the Fediverse that would be interested/willing to share insights about the profession? What was your professional journey like? Any warnings/advice for someone considering a career change into the profession? Would getting a certification from an organization like the United Bicycle Institute be worthwhile?

  16. @gcvsa asks:

    I need recommendations for a bicycle home maintenance stand that is capable of holding an ebike.

    Let's say max weight of 40 Kg? My Rad Power Bikes RadMission is about 50 lbs (~23 Kg) free of accessories. I don't plan on ever buying anything heavier than that.

    Free-standing would probably be best, but I would consider ones designed for permanent installation, either mounted to garage framing or the concrete slab. Trying to spend less rather than more.

    Q5. Do you have a maintenance stand to recommend?

    YES I now have Baby Bianchi ready to ride but she needs a small person to ride her.
    NO I haven't figured out howto take the cables or the rear wheel off the Gazelle to make a properlawn ornament... and SCHOOL HAS STARTED but ... I could have done stuff tonight...

    Q1a. Where are you posting from today?

    Q1b. What are your water bottle preferences? and @rasterweb specifically asks:

    I've always used the classic thin squeezable water bottle, but it doesn't keep water cold enough in the summer or warm enough in the winter, so I am looking at insulated bottles.

    I've seen stainless steel (obviously not squeezable) and double-walled plastic bottles, but not sure which to choose.

    Q1c. What sort of insulated bike bottle do you like, and why?

  42. @pete asks:

    I changed a cassette recently to one with a different spread of gears and while working fine it just _feels_ plain wrong.

    Q7. How picky or sensitive are you to changes in bike setup, whether that be size/fit or components-related?

  43. @bobjonkman and @uxMark ask:

    There are municipal elections in Ontario, and cycling advocacy orgs are doing "Rides with the Candidates".

    Q6a. Have you done a "Ride with a Candidate"? Does it do any good? That is, are candidates who go on these rides more likely to vote for cycling initiatives after going on a ride?

    Q6b. What was the outcome — that is how did candidate act/behave before and after the ride? And how did winners advocate for and/or vote for cycling initiatives if elected to council?

    Q5. What are some fun an interesting things people have called out to you?"

    (Inspired by "Bright F*in lights!!! I could see you 'way up there!" last night, which housemate says based on her observations are probably my pedal blinkies).

  45. @Amgine asked a little while ago:

    Today I was digging through crates at Bike Kitchen, looking for a decent kickstand. And it raised a couple questions:

    Q2a. #LBS which build up frames are cool, recycle hardware, and teach people to DIY. Do you know of one locally?
    Q2b. I am still looking for the perfect two-leg kickstand. Any recommendations?

    Bike Kitchen is on #UBC campus: thebikekitchen.ca/

    We'll start out with our introduction.

    Q1. Where are you posting from today?

    We'd like to start by acknowledging the life of Paul Varry, who was murdered by a driver in a cycle lane in Paris recently (link via @jfparis)
