Dear Internet Daters Who Refuse To Post Pictures,

What is wrong with you? I mean, specifically, what’s wrong with you? There’s gotta be something, right? Because whenever I come across a profile without a picture attached, I assume there’s something crazy going on. Like you have two heads, or you have no heads, or you’re not actually a person. Maybe you’re a scam, like a weird offshoot of that whole Nigerian Prince thing, or perhaps it’s just an elaborate money laundering front. I’m gonna come clean here and admit that I don’t really know what a money laundering front is, but it’s what other people say when something seems fishy, so I’m gonna say that too. Because a profile that’s meant to attract me when I can’t even see what it is I’m supposed to be attracted to is most decidedly fishy.

Hello, i got a problem and i can't manage to fix it. Our vendor uses TeamViewer to solve support issues. They can't figure out why TeamViewer isn't working for our computer and can't solve the purchased item issue (ribbon printer and software) as we need to figure out why TeamViewer is no longer working on our computers.

  1. Answer (1 of 12): Yes This delicate point deserves its own chapter, as it’s extremely important. It’s a question of security, peace of mind, and is equally important for women and men.
  2. 5 Reasons You Shouldn't Give Your Email Out Like Candy. An email address can be a big problem. The theory is that consumers don’t want to be bothered to come up with different user ID for.

Why would someone join a dating website and not post a picture? Is it that you don’t think you’re very attractive? Well, that’s just silly. I’m sure you look fine, and even if you don’t, have you poked around OKCupid recently? There’s some real trainwrecks on there. I mean, I’m on there, and I’ve already gone through like three bags of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins. And not the “fun size” either – the serious size. So come on, don’t be a wimp, show us your smile. And know this: there is no picture so bad that it will make you look any worse than what we already imagine. It’s true. When we see the “Sorry, This User Has Not Uploaded a Photo” message, we picture, like, a slightly taller Oompa Loompa. Weird and blue and creepy. You’re better than that right? I mean, it’s very unlikely that you’re blue.

This is what I wanna know: does anyone ever write to a profile without pictures? And do they respond when you write them? They don’t, right? There’s just no way. I mean, there’s effectively an unlimited quantity of people on OkCupid with faces, so why would I possibly dip my toes in the waters of the faceless? It doesn’t make sense. Why be disappointed by an empty gray box when I can so easily be disappointed by a girl with features I can identify? I guess you could try to make up for it by writing a really charming email, but honestly, I’m not sure there’s enough charm in the world to bridge that gap. I’d delete the secret of life if it came without a picture. You could promise me instant access to heaven, untold riches, and a satisfying series finale to Lost, but if I don’t know what you look like, your message is going in the trash. I’m sorry, that’s just rules of the OkCupid road.

I’ve thought a lot about this, and as far as I can figure, these are the only other reasons any Internet dater would not post a picture.

1) You’re a vampire. If that’s the case, and modern photography is genuinely unable to capture your image, then fine. Don’t post a picture. I get it. Maybe have someone do a sketch. Or just say in your profile “FYI, I’m a vampire. I can’t post pictures. Just didn’t want you to think I’m a weirdo or anything.”

2) You’re married. Apparently there are people who don’t want to be discovered online dating by their spouse, so they leave their image blank. To you I say, first of all, “Get a life.” Then I follow up with, “How is your wife going to explain finding you on a dating website in the first place? What was she doing there? Looking for vampires?” And then you will look at me with silent wonder.

3) You’re afraid of people knowing that you Internet date. This totally makes sense…if it’s 1991. Nobody cares if you’re meeting people online. Get over it.

4) You don’t know how to post pictures. My Dad is in his 60’s and he MAILED a dating website his pictures so they could scan and post them for him. I didn’t even know scanners still exist. Or the mail. If he can pull it off, so can you.

5) There is no 5. That’s it. We’re out of reasons.

So please, Daters, in closing, I implore you to get with it. Grab one of the ten thousand devices you have that can take a photo and go to town. To get more responses, to have a better love life, and to stop make us stop wondering what the heck is going on.

I have a 100x15 front 142x12 rear cyclocross frame. I'm considering getting mid range wheels with quick releases that come with thru axle adapters. The wheels are lighter and better than most options in this price range that come with native thru axles.

Question is, are there any negatives for using qr->TA adapter besides weight?

This is a deceptively complex question because it touches on many aspects of hub design, and answering it properly would also require taking some kind of survey of what design choices have wound up getting made for the various convertible vs. dedicated size through axle hubs, particularly in terms of what bearing sizes are used. Furthermore, for practical purposes the story is quite different for convertible road vs. mountain front hubs, because within mountain many of those hubs use bearings with a 20mm ID so they cover 20mm all the way down to QR, whereas the size variance involved with a 15mm/12mm/QR hub is much less.

But, broadly speaking, the main potential downside to convertible hubs of this style is that even if you're fine with it being as big and heavy as it needs to be to have good bearing durability, the person who designed it might not see things that way. They'll probably see it instead at some level as a trade-off that has to be made. And while usually in practice that may only make a marginal difference (I don't think I've met any convertible hubs with extraordinarily teensy bearings), the bike industry is quite good at occasionally turning out products that shave grams in unfortunate ways, on things like bearings and spokes where a little weight spent goes a long way towards durability.

Again, this applies more to fronts than rears, because the variance in axle size is so much greater. I doubt it applies to rears much at all, but determining that is where the aforementioned survey of bearing choices used across hubs would come in handy.

Some companies (I'm thinking of White with their Venti front hub, but there are others) have wisely taken the pressure off to make compromises here by making the 20mm in their lineup a dedicated design, and the others convertible. That makes even more sense now that 20 is firmly DH/FR, where there are going to be other aspects of the design you want more usage-specific, but for a while it wouldn't have been as easy a choice because before 15 came out, 20 was seeing use on trail and even XC bikes.

Another aspect is cost, particularly when there's a rear hub like the one in question involved. The endcaps and axles cumulatively make a pretty big pile of precision machined parts you're paying for but maybe only using some of. Not a huge deal, especially if you're going to actually use the convertibility, but for example with Novatec hubs like these being high quality Taiwanese stuff, you are paying something for the extra parts, and what's really going on is if you're buying a wheelset/hubset that just comes with all the conversion parts, you're paying for a manufacturer's decision to simplify things by just giving everyone everything and letting the costs tick up accordingly. (When a bike brand or wheel manufacturer orders hubs from hub manufacturers, it's entirely up to the buyer whether to get the extra conversion hardware. Hub makers most commonly wouldn't be sending all that stuff out since most of their hubs wind up OEM on bikes.)

In cases where a hub is convertible across axle standards where one reason for the new standard was to change hub geometry to create a strength increase, such as hubs that can work on both 12x142 and Boost 148, you get none of the advantages of the new standard.

Finally, it only gets harder to create effective sealing when you're designing around multiple different axle adapters that might be used. That doesn't necessarily mean sealing will be deficient, but it is at some level a downside.

To be clear, there are no major categorical downsides to hubs like this. A lot of them are out in the world performing very well. But there are subtle downsides that get incurred as a result of adding more factors to the design criteria.

I suspect those wheels will have all the normal benefits of a QR but with the adapters will not have any of the benefits of a through axle.

So the adapters will allow you to use a QR wheel on a through-axle frame, but will not give you the same level of stiffness that a single thread-in through axle would give.

In the end, this wheel still has a QR skewer through the middle, regardless of what adapters are on it. That might be fine - QRs work great on many bikes. But its not a TA wheel hub and never will be.

After looking more closely at the photos, it looks like the specific hubs/wheels in question are the Prime Comp Alloy Clincher Disc Road Wheelset seen here. These have Prime RD020 Disc Hubs - front and rear. Looking closely, it doesn't seem as though these are rebranded novatec hubs, but they do seem to utilize a very similar end cap design.

For the front, it looks as though the end caps pop in:

for thru axles, the axle is separate and should be included with your frame, the end caps simply provide the mating surface to the frame/axle.

15mm thru - upper surface mates to fork

12mm thru - I believe the top part shown here is the interior portion of the cap

These caps are something that simply 'fills the gap' between an oversize bearing inside the hub and the desired axle.

On these particular hubs, the rear seems to operate somewhat differently. The drive side end cap appears to thread onto an oversize axle (to set preload?). I believe that the axle itself functions as the mating surface for the non drive side of the hub.

Hub in QR 130x10 configuration with all included parts

142x12 axle and drive side end cap

Excuse the question marks, but Prime is pretty sparse on details. It appears to be very similar to Novatec's configuration, which is shown in full here and is where I drew some inferences:

refer to the lower half for the rear hub, although Prime never pictures any non drive side end caps. I do not believe this particular front hub works as pictured here.

Many companies are doing something similar now, all with their own little spin of course. They make a hub with oversized bearings that create some physical limit as to the maximum axle size, and then use caps to effectively shim the interior diameter and determine the final spacing of the hub.

SRAM

SRAM recently introduced their roam/rise/rail wheels which utilize end caps that pop in. SRAM also has some proprietary end caps for the front called torque caps that increase surface contact for increased stiffness (they claim).

clockwise: 9mm drive side, 15mm drive side, 9mm non drive, 15mm non drive

Hope

A nice blog post here that describes the process of changing the hub to a different axle standard. A few photos from the post:

I'm having a very hard time finding more useful images, but some more brands that I know employ end caps (feel free to edit):
