The rack is compressing the frame a little bit. Nothing to worry about, go ahead and spread the frame open a little bit to allow the axle in. Also, make sure the flat sides of your axle are lined up to slide into the dropouts.

Disc or rim brake, 8/9/10/11sp HG cassette body or 12sp HG+/XD driver? All black only?

You'll be pretty hard pressed to find nice vintage 26" wheels available but anything is possible.

I've got a few sets I'd be willing to sell but nothing all black.

Two Seas or my basement. What parts you looking for?

Plenty of great shops in BK bur not many stocking vintage parts. Are you doing a vintage build or a retromod?

A bike ride, a walk in nature, a meal.

They didn't want regular bananas now, but thought maybe they'd want frozen bananas later?

That one jrabs linked is axle mounted. The one Priority sells mounts to the mid blade brazons. I have the same axle mounted one on my Nishiki Pinnacle and got a huge bag custom made for it. Beast of a rack and perfect for bikepacking/overloading.

Should and do are different things. We should be able to have privacy but posting anything to anywhere on the internet makes that thing not private anymore. Instagram's terms prominently state that anything shared on their platform becomes their property. They can use and abuse your photos, comments, etc. in any way they deem fit.

On top of the obvious things you post there's lots of background info IG/FB logs too. If you took that photo on your phone and that pic has a geo tag, its logged. Your google search history, other app usage, scree time, gps locations when accessing certain apps, all sorts of stuff.

IG is one of the most invasive apps out there.

Its so unwholesome. You need boundaries and structure.

Yes you can just tighten, it is possible that the bearings are damaged but that's relatively unlikely and tightening the headset is the first test to inspect bearing health. What you have is called a threaded headset, the two nuts are the compression nut and lock nut and they thread onto the forums steerer making compression on the bearings that allow the fork and handlebars to turn within the frame's headtube.

You'll need a pair of flat wrenches, most likely 32mm. Put one wrench on the compression nut and the other on the lock nut, hold the compression nut stationary and loosen the lock nut 1/4 turn. Now tighten the compression nut until the wobble is gone but the fork is able to turn freely. Finally, holding the compression nut stationary, tighten the locknut against the compression nut to about 20nm (roughly elbow tight on the finger-shoulder scale).

Here's a video that covers this and more: https://youtu.be/TOSBd_5HO64?is=tHYnVTsxKqp4LOU5

I don't have your keys but seeing that corner just unlocked memories of buying a butter roll, microwaved chocolate chip cookies, and a Mistic every day for breakfast from the bodega.

Good luck locating your keys.

I suppose consensual poop consumption is ethical poop consumption.

A roman coin from 650 CE. Have owned for 30 years. A few broken bits of clay pots (mostly handles) that were never specifically aged and marked as trash at an archaeological dig. Estimated as 2000-3000 BCE. Have owned for 35 years. Couldn't believe they were going throw them away then couldn't believe they let me take them.

In America, it becomes an incredibly expensive high.

A lavender weighted eye mask for my partner. Smells great and can be frozen or heated to sooth what ails 'er.

My first high school was ~4500 in 4 grades, ~1300 in each graduating class. Changed schools and second one was 160 in 5 grades and my graduating class was 19.

To say it was a culture shock is a HUGE understatement.
