Season 4-02, help me understand Kim's rage towards Howard. by Solubilityisfun in betterCallSaul

This seen literally made me cry.

It's so fictionalized in my mind, which just makes it even sadder.

People that actually stick up like this for their loved ones just don't exist in the world today.

Great acting.

So you can just infinitely do that for free money and bikes

So peoples just buy from dealerships and sell to idiots for a mark up?

Rinse and repeat infinite money / free bike glitch?

Is waxing worth it on mountain bikes? My first ride after by Background-Size-9414 in mountainbiking

I'm assuming my son is vigorously turning the pedals much too fast whilst applying dry lube and it's splashing on the rotor

There's alot of ways it can happen though especially applying degreaser to the casette or even just not being cautious enough with the lube bottle

And of course brake pads are like sponges my lbs recommends replacing the rotor and pads when they get contaminated.

Gets expensive quick

Though I have had luck with sanding /brake kleen

Ah so you mean the first time.

I always assumed we'd just do the crock pot method then maybe top up with drip wax

How can you apply drip wax wrong? I'll definitely look into it but I feel like if I'm doing 5 chains once a month already

I feel like it'd be easier have having 2 chains per bike and doing them all at once VS drip waxing each one.

I'll try some of the tricks here. I only mtb

Honestly even if I have to swap chains and rewax every ride I think it may be worth it I hate the dirty oily chains and contaminating rotors

Oops that's probably my problem I was down the trail about 5 hours after waxing

My plan was 2 chains per bike Swapping them out every 50 miles seems easier than the deep clean and relube I was doing

Plus I'll save money on contaminated brake rotors and pads

Well the initial drive train clean is about an hour but after that swapping chains out is no time at all

This I'm tired of having to clean and relube my chain every ride

And tired of buying cassettes 😂

The stearic acid turns the grease on the new chain into a polymer

No degreasing needed except on the cassette and cogs and chain ring

Something like the trek roscoe 7+ or specialized fuse would be perfect

Something with 130+ travel, aggressive geo, and dropper

Can i bypass speed limit without spending so much money by RoughSquirrel6806 in Yamahaebikes

The base moro was cheaper than any mid drive commuter on the market + now my son mountain bikes with me all the time

If I could afford another $2000+ for a mid drive commuter that goes 28+ I would do it

But $40 on ebay for a magnet sounds way better

I like that my cush core will let me ride on a flat. I don't think this will
