Bicycle gearing
[edit]Do you by any chance have a photo or other reference for a bike with 4 chain rings? Did the front derailleur change to all 4 rings or was manual (or footuall) intervention needed? Do you know if it was a one-off special or is it available commercially? Murray Langton (talk) 09:24, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
Here is a picture:
I think in was possible to switch to all 4 chainrings in the original setup, but after changing shifter and derailleur now going to the smallest chainring can be done only after manual intervention. I have purchased the bike second hand and am not sure, but seems like a standard crankset manufactured somewhere in the Far East. Let me know if you need more details.

[edit]
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Dunking (biscuit). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Two things: you reinserted unverified and trivial information, and you didn't even bother to explain. Drmies (talk) 02:00, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- Drmies, I regret to write this, but your claims are not substantiated. The text you are trying to remove is referenced. The article is about a popular ritual, which was reflected in films and novels. The fact that someone considers an article trivial, doesn't make it so. By removing the Cultural references section, you are impairing article comprehensiveness. If this explanation is comprehensible, please, revert your disruptive edit, or let me know what further details you may need. (George6996 (talk) 03:40, 20 November 2022 (UTC))
- Don't be silly. It's exceedingly trivial, poorly written ("toast" has to be linked? "could seem like an odd choice" is original research, "as an heiress" is original research, etc.) and it is not well sourced. IMDB is not an acceptable source, "citation needed" means it's not sourced. Stop wasting peoples' time please. Your explanation is comprehensible but faulty. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 14:06, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- Drmies, if you do not like how an article is written, you may improve it, instead of removing other people's efforts to provide a comprehensive view. It is the Cultural references, that made me find this article and by removing them you prevent visitors from having this opportunity. I understand that erasing is easier than writing, but you may try to be more productive than destructive. Thank you. George6996 (talk) 00:20, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
- The article is fine; it's your trivia that's bothersome. Removing trivial mentions = article improvement. Drmies (talk) 00:50, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
