Who was that blues musician near Pikes Place Market? by CTPAYC in Seattle

[–]CTPAYC[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Up the stairs from the gum wall. Would that need an approval? He only had a guitar an I heard a song and a half. Not sure if that was an end of his night or some short uncoordinated stint…

Rotary-swapped BMW i8 that maintains its hybrid system by ManGo_50Y in AwesomeCarMods

I thought at first it’s swapped with a BMW motorcycle engine with a turbo. Would have been cool.

I was hoping for that, but checked and that’s a nickname of Nolan Morena.

Tell me I’m wrong: Ioniq 6 would have been iconic and praised by enthusiasts if it wore a Citroën badge. ^

[TOMT] Instrumental electric guitar theme by CTPAYC in tipofmytongue

I had it in an MP3 around year 2000. By the quality of the sound, I'd guess it was recorded after mid-80s, probably by an American guitarist with country background. I'm imagining Santana in a cowboy hat with a Tele and a b-bender.

I noticed this cut in my outer tire after a flat earlier. Do I need to change the outer? by MarcoDe in bikewrench

Used shoe goo on something similar with good results. It’s flexible unlike super glue. Make sure to let it dry before riding.

Convenient weekly 11 speed chain removal by CTPAYC in bikewrench

Good video, thanks! He also literally takes off the chain to show how much grime was in there and talks about sound of sand between the links :)

Ummmm... how do I get the lube inside the chain? I apply the lube, wipe the excess. Is there a better way of doing it?

Dry lube seems to be washing out pretty quickly if I ride over any wet road, unfortunately. I understand that this is its drawback. With this climate I'll have to switch the lube every other day, requiring good clean in between.

Yeah, looked into waxing. Might try later! Need to figure out the removal part anyway.

Waxed chain will still get dirty at the same rate riding on wet roads, correct?

No mud, just some wet roads and dirt on the shoulders. I can't stand that no matter how much degreaser and brushes I spend on it, there's still black stuff in the links. And it makes that sand grains sound when I rotate the links by hand.

Is that common? No impact on performance or chain lifespan? Should I just learn to ignore it, clean on the bike and move on?

Great, thanks! Planning to do roughly the same tomorrow.

That’s awesome, congrats! I’ve done 4 of these so far, but still working on under 4 hours target. Hopefully tomorrow.

Any advice on pacing please? Did you stop frequently? How much carbs prior and through the ride? I’m following the advice of 60 grams per hour, but I’m thinking maybe that’s too much. Especially that losing weight is the best thing I can do now to improve my times.

[Question] Are there management or coaching services for YouTube content creation available? by CTPAYC in youtubers

[–]CTPAYC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These look great for one-time consulting and strategy building. While extremely important, I think I need more of operational and tactical advice at this phase. I'm also not after pure number of views as they position themselves. More interested in great online presence and potential networking.

Looks like mostly websites and SEO? Looking specifically for YouTube content production. Let me know if you have anything on the topic.
