Got some new tires and am struggling to mount the last bit of bead on these rims. The previous tires I had were Gravelking slicks and gad to take them to a shop cause they were so ridiculously difficult. I understand what needs to be done here (creating slack for the bead by keeping it in the center of the rim), but what does it look like I’m doing wrong here?
Have owned these for less than a year unfortunately but I keep dropping weight (fitness journey). Any recommendations for a new pair? Love the Sugar Cane 1947 fit but am open to other suggestions! Wearing a 32” now (these are 36”).
There is a lot of context here, but I met a girl I really liked back in mid April. I loved spending time with her and getting to know her but feelings of anhedonia slowly started to seep in. I was previously on a GLP-1 (which can obviously cause this) but stopped only a couple weeks after we started dating. Although that cycled out of my system, I’ve still felt flat, zero spark, emotional disconnect from my body, zero sexual desire even though our sex was good. I’ve been saying so many things that indicated I was in this and feeling it and I had felt it in those moments, but an underlying unsure feeling of flatness lingered. I asked her to be my girlfriend after picking her up from the airport last night because it felt right and we already were that without the label. I’ve felt like I’m in a tremendous emotional pressure cooker and that I had to tell her about my uncertainty and anhedonia. She came over and we talked for an hour and a half and it was essentially a breakup. She was devastated and I feel like the worst person in the world for saying these things and then ripping the foundation out from under her. I’ve become that avoidant person. I’m petrified I’ve made a mistake in the throws of anhedonia and that feelings will come rushing back and that I’ve made an enormous mistake. If anyone can offer support or advice right now I’m really needing it…
