I think there’s a bigger problem with that bike that should probably be dealt with first.

I'm no mechanic but I think that wheel is slightly out of true.

What sort of standards are these bicycles built to?

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Oh, very rigorous bicycle engineering standards.
