Compatible 3x6 grip shifter replacement?

An acquaintance brought a bicycle to me that was no longer shifting. She had installed a basket, that was resting on the bits of plastic extending from the shifter, and managed to break both of them off. lol

So

I am unable to find a “TD-one” grip shift set. Will this cheapy eBay 3x6 shifter work?

Aegosexuality and limerence

I recently stumbled upon aegosexuality which is typically defined as an individual feeling attraction towards other people but have zero drive to engage in any sort of romantic/physical/sexual relationship with anyone.

I periodically dated women from my early 20’s to my early 30’s. I met someone, we lived together for nearly two years (through COVID). We parted ways in 2021 and I pursued something with a few woman after , and I decided that I simply wasn’t interested in pursuing any sort of relationship since January 2022.

So that was 4.5 years ago, and I haven’t talked to anyone with any hope of romance/etc since then. Not a soul. I actually affirmatively and proactively shut down anything with everyone.

But I do experience limerence, sometimes for women I know, though, I do my best to shut that down. Usually I experience varying levels of limerence for fictional characters, that seems safer because I can step in and step out of it and it doesn’t involve anyone I know. Zero entanglements is my goal.

So, I stumble upon aegosexuality and the description fits my experience exactly.

I feel attraction towards women, but that’s the complete experience. I have no desire to take any further than that. I don’t even like being touched (hugs, etc). And if I sense there could be a misunderstanding, I put up the walls.

Does anyone else experience this? Limerance but zero desire to have any actual relationship?

2mm or 2.5mm clip?

Howdy all, looking at the Oregon counter clipper. I purchased a used copy of Next War: Korea, and a number of the counters were clipped. NW counters are 9/16”.

I think this looks like 2.5mm, I ran it through ChatGBT (gags), and it too suggests 2.5mm.

Do y’all concur?

Creaking BB?

Howdy, Rocky Mountain Elementary A50, press fit, Shimano SM-BBMT500.

I have removed and cleaned/anti seized the pedals, the cleaned contact points on the drive train, and lock tighted the surfaces between the chainring and the crank set (per a YouTube video).

The creak sound doesn’t move with the pedals, and the sound is louder with more resistance on the downstroke (higher gear and/or uphill), and I think as the temp of the bike increases (creaked more the longer I rode in the sun).

I ordered a thread together BB and the tools to remove the pressfit BB and sockets to metal the thread together.

I suppose I looking for validation that the BB is the issue before the point of not being able to return this new BB and tools. lol

Which one of yall connect Crush with Beast?

So I’m cruising through tumbler some time ago and discovered this.

I watched Beast with a couple friends and during the scene in which Pascal is working on the bench, is said ALOUD “he looks like he works with his hands and smokes marbaro reds”, quoting of course, Crush.

So, weeks later I’m looking for Ethel Cain aesthetic gifs on tumbler. And I stumble upon this post, and I freaked tf out.

What are the odds that someone would connect an 2017 indie English film with indie southern gothic music?

Like brah

Also, Jessie Buckley is a goddess and I was a fan LONG before the Hamnet band wagon.

Which one of yall has this level of excellent taste?

Replace Shimano SM-BBMT500 with thread together?

Howdy all, my Shimano SM-BBMT500 is creaking. My understanding is that this is a press fit BB. My understanding is that some press fit BBs cannot be refit and must be replaced.

That annoys me a bit! I live an hour from the nearest bike shop and have become extremely self reliant on my repairs and such.

Is there a thread together direct replacement for the SM-BBMT500? I am using a Race Face Aeffect Cinch crank.

I am assuming that a thread together BB is more user derivable in the event of a creak/etc….?
