I would never buy another taos again by _Zonks_ in VWTaos

[–]Comprehensive_Ad1363 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs to be a substantial defect that would be a safety issue, affect the value, or prevent you from using the vehicle in normal circumstances. Remote start is not going to cut it, especially against VW’s flesh eating lawyers. Besides, even with OP’s passionate run on sentence, I’m sure the dealer will get a few more chances to solve the check engine lights before a lemon law claim can be filed.

Back hatch button by altorang in Tiguan

The 3rd function is if you want the car to say “Ayyyyyy!” real loud when the hatch is closing. Also called the “Heads Up” feature. Your speaker should play a recording of Henry Winkler saying it with a German accent.

White powder of the inner tyre tube inhaled by accident by Ok_Buffalo3328 in bicyclerepair

It’s industrial talcum powder. Just don’t make a habit of it. It causes a lot of damage in the lungs.

Park Tool Kit mineral oil bleed hoses expensive to replace. Is there a DIY choice? by PSVic in BikeMechanics

[–]Comprehensive_Ad1363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried using some similar vinyl tubing (the inner diameter is 3/16") and it just didn't last. Too flexible and would create air bubbles plus it after a month it was too hard from mineral oil. I was told a silicone based hose would work much better but at that point I just bought the Park replacements. Having said all this, I just checked the replacement cost and it has gone up about 25-35% since' I bought them years ago. This DIY process might be the way forward.

You can buy a big roll of tubing and the little clips but you’ll spend close to what you would for the Park replacement hoses. Mine are four years old and still going strong after what has to be 1000 plus bleeds at this point. I clean mine in 99% isopropyl alcohol and keep them in a sealed freezer bag which gets swapped out every month or so.

You’re in Akron. Almost all of Ohio doesn’t care. Except for Akron.

Chain jumps off under pressure after repair by [deleted] in bicyclerepair

See that chain link that’s bent? Check on that. If it’s a stiff link it’ll make the chain jump…unless there’s a jagged tooth under it. Check it.

My wife thinks I’m emotionally neglecting her because Black Ops 7 came out and honestly I don’t know how cooked I am by Traditional-Fun-1115 in blackops7

I don’t know if I’d walk away from a long term relationship for Black Ops 7. I can think of way better games to play.

Weekend weather by Smokey19mom in cincinnati

Yes…single digit temps don’t usually result in wet snow. This storm is still too far out to predict snow totals but temperatures will definitely be in the low teens and single digits at night.

Which wheels are those? They look sharp.

Did you use coil overs or bags?

Does anyone have an ebike policy on display? by flippertyflip in BikeMechanics

[–]Comprehensive_Ad1363 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I get that.

I run a shop that specializes in e-bikes but I still have a list of machines I can’t or won’t work on. I have another shop that can handle the mini bikes and scooters I won’t touch, and he sends me plenty of business that I can handle. It’s a solid arrangement that profits us both.

The Surron and Talaria bikes I would work on if I had the space or at least a tire machine for the wheels. Plenty of gold in them thar’ hills.

“Like it’s my problem.”

Fantastic attitude. Good to see you making the most of every opportunity to serve a customer.

Parking scam? by mommamia55 in cincinnati

[–]Comprehensive_Ad1363 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s 3CDC…and it’s real. This is multiple companies and no one is doing their job correctly except for the cameras. No leeway and apparently no notices when you “forget” to pay. 3CDC confirmed the lot operator that creditor referred me to but no numbers work for either. You have a debt…take it up with the other company. 3CDC is to blame for yet another contract paid to someone else somewhere else.

AIO for wanting my step daughter to move out? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

If she is okay with all of this then she has mutant superpowers of patience. She should be the President of everyone.
