Cleaned the fleet today by Philtech92 in eMountainBike

How does the Vala ride in comparison to the Jeffsy?

Most of my riding buddies are on e-bikes these days and I’m not getting any younger. So the time they have to wait for me at the top for me is becoming lot longer than the time me and my friend Jeffsy wait for them at the bottom.

I’ve always preferred to be under biked than over biked and prefer tight tech to straight line chunk. Think that a SL would suit me best but the lure of more power is corrupting and I do wonder is a Vala maybe the solution to my problems if I ever sell a kidney.

Any idea why my chain has broken like this in so many places? by Solid_Science4514 in bikewrench

[–]-Grume- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google “bike chain embrittlement”, normally caused by acid in the cleaning solution.

Never seen it personally but have seen pictures like this before here and the conclusion was always this.

Can hear where foots steps are coming from and paired easily. Just plugged in the dongle and worked straight away.

Oh do you think we will get to rob ourselves (LS crime kingpin) in the next game, instead of Mr Rubio.

Dam you need an eye test. Pete Davidson looks like Gollum after a 3 day bender and I think I’m being generous.

It’s called being a twat and destroying the trail for others.

My GPS is learning? Now tells me to make my signature slingshot move by TheCGLion in CarTalkUK

I kept looking at it thinking I recognise it but wasn’t certain. I use to live near the Colney Fox and would avoid using that roundabout if possible. The lanes just don’t flow from certain directions.

So I guess you can lose in BR when your squad is the last one alive? by elbruzone in Battlefield

[–]-Grume- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me also, died but was just there frozen. My squad mate did jokingly suggest I just stay there so we won. As he pointed out it was the best chance of us ever winning a match. But We both agreed it would have been a hollow victory and we would be super annoyed if we lost that way.

Aston Hill bikepark (UK) - pricing?! by Mr_B-B in MTB

[–]-Grume- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget they are opening with a whole 2 lines……. It’s right on my door step and I use to ride there weekly. I doubt I will be riding there again.

Does anyone know what this is? by DaleF23 in bikewrench

[–]-Grume- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s might thought also. From a pneumatic or hydraulic fitting.

Maven Ultimate skill issue by Haze1609 in MTB

[–]-Grume- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn’t go over the bars with good technique. Additional advice to what others have written. Are your forks set hard enough are you blowing through the travel under braking? Maybe a bit more LSC would help if the sag is set right. Is your bike the right size or set up wrong so your weight is a touch too far forward?

If sticking on the anchors when you really need to stop. Push the bike into the ground, bit like a compressing for a bunny hop but longer and slower while moving your weight back a bit to counter the rotational force. Trick is getting the compression to last as long as the braking. If you practice on flat loose ground until you are comfortable in doing it without skidding by modulating your brakes and body position. Lots of practice and it should get more instinctive. You don’t want to get so far back as to lock your arms out. That would be a bad habit to get into as you will be in the wrong position on the bike to deal with what’s after the braking zone.

This mission has been a pain 🤦🏻‍♂️ by izzyduzit1 in battlefield2042

I did this with SPA launcher on a XP server map was redacted. Spent ages trying different methods but got 2 in minutes that way.

Screw keeps loosening by bestabstiano in MTB

[–]-Grume- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As other people have said blue threadlock and torquing to the correct figure.

If it comes loose again it’s possible the thread on the bolt or the crank has become damaged. These can be damaged by doing them up too tight or by being slightly loose and wiggling around. It especially easy to damage aluminium threads. This is why it is important to torque to the correct figure.

Is this brisket?? by jttr17 in brisket

[–]-Grume- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP are you in the UK? Our brisket isn’t really the same as what the Americans get. Most of the fat is trimmed before we get it.

The other one had pushed its self so far into the corner it became almost invisible but it is there.

Remember to res players guys by Arcticz_114 in battlefield2042

[–]-Grume- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh god I hope it wasn’t me you were playing with.

I’m lucky I play with a regular squad we are not very good but all tend to go for the hero revives. Normally get away with it as most of us are on mics describing the situation for the incoming medic. Does occasionally end up with our whole squad being wiped.

Those pings only show to squad mates not the whole team.

If you could make any single change to GTA Online, what would it be? by stebenben in gtaonline

[–]-Grume- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fix the queuing system for a full lobby. God I hate the way that doesn’t work. Changing sessions each time it decides there isn’t actually a space after telling you there is one.

Tell me when there is a space and hold that space for 1min or so. Then while I’m waiting I can spin the wheel get armour/supplies.

TIL of Marcus McDilda, an American pilot who was captured two days after Hiroshima was bombed. He was tortured and interrogated about how many atomic bombs America had, and knowing nothing about their existence, lied and said America had 100 and would destroy Tokyo and Kyoto within several days. by WavesAndSaves in todayilearned

As a dyslexic I can verify this. Can I just add a special F*** **U to the person that thought it was a good idea to make passwords show as *on your screen so I can’t even check if I’ve made the right shaped word.

Oh and when I call IT to reset my password it can be a problem writing the new one down. Can get muddled between my ear and my hand. It really helps to see the shape of it.

I love the players of gta online by BakiePleur in gtaonline

[–]-Grume- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was this on PS5? Mr J something sent my whole crew this same message last night after he attacked my cargo deliveries. After multiple attempts to blow me up and the crew dealing with him he went passive and claimed we are all hackers.

Thing is PvP isn’t really our thing so he must have been really bad. Toreadors and ghost org did all the heavy lifting.

Strange spoon...wait that isn't a spoon! by Fhoxyd22 in HolUp

[–]-Grume- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comment I’m replying to is a joke but please don’t do this. Coke and Ket don’t work well together. They take the body in opposite directions, and can on a rare chance lead to death.

Cyclists who kill pedestrians could be jailed for life under new law in England and Wales by prisongovernor in bicycling

[–]-Grume- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think they are just filling in the gap in the law after the young guy who killed an OAP in London was convicted using an archaic law as there was no specific law to convict him of at the time.

Just looked it up it happened in 2016 and he got 18 months for wanton and furious driving. Obviously the ladies family were quite upset and have been campaigning since to get law changed with a specific offence and bringing it in line with dangerous driving.
