My GSD is approximately 9 years old. At age 6 she suddenly had an allergy outbreak which consisted of hot spots and itchy skin on her stomach. We got it under control with steroids and she's been getting Apoquel 16mg daily ever since and everything was pretty much back to normal.

About 6 months ago she started developing these sores in her lip-folds and under the nose - areas that are constantly wet and prone to infections. The vet said it's most likely related to the allergies.

I've already taken her to several vets with this issue and are not able to get it under control. The first time she got antibiotics (oral + ointment) and it went away for a bit only to re-apprear a week later. I've been doing chlorhexidine wipes twice a day pretty much since it first appeared. Nothing helps eliminate these sores - except antibiotics which the vet does not want to use long-term.

Vets are not giving me long-term solutions, and I've been searching online for ages. It seems like a common condition in GSDs but I can't find a cure. If you've had a similar experience please tell me how you handled it!

My wife is pretty short (1.56m) and would benefit from shorter cranks. Her current bike is an XS Focus which amazingly comes stock with 175mm cranks. (FC-M371)

I cannot find any 165mm 3x square taper cranksets. Is it possible they don't exist? How can I make the replacement myself? Will I have to change BB for this?

I want to order a replacement headset for my bike, as I'm sure the cups are old and pitted.

I think it's a 1" steerer with 30.2mm cups. Is there any way I can be sure of this without taking it apart? I don't want to remove the old cups just for measuring and then re-install them.

The notice says it's a 16" rim. Is that rotor home-made on a laser cutter? I can't imagine a bicycle parts engineer would design this...

It's just a 2mm rim, 2.4mm wide. All default settings in Bambu slicer, Bambu matte PLA. Tried at 0.12 layer height and again at 0.16 and it happened again.

Any ideas what's causing this? Never seen anything like it.
