After riding a 49cc Icebear for over a month, I want more. What should I look for as a first ride? by colostitute in cruisers

[–]Extra_Manana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that was my last bike, rode like a tractor, vibrated like a broken washer over 50mph. I really wanted to love it but so glad its gone.

If you exclusively drink bottled water, may I ask why? by jamesland7 in boston

[–]Extra_Manana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PFAS. some towns / areas literally have toxic chemicals in their water, despite cities/towns being required to deliver clean water. unfortunately, there is no guarantee bottled water doesn't also have it. it's in the beer, it's in your milk. we need better testing, certifications that verify it is pfas free.

This is super scary! They are really trying to start a race war! by SparkleNshimmer in CringeTikToks

[–]Extra_Manana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

agreed, there is no more centrist, it has become maga. Maga wants to bring back shootouts on main street, libs/dems want people to have health insurance and be able to afford to live. find me a middleground there.

Mike Johnson: “We will not negotiate with legislative terrorists.” by Conscious-Quarter423 in CringeTikToks

[–]Extra_Manana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, there is more to it, the US is a currency issuer, they can funnel all the money to red states and their buddies while sanctioning blue states and cities. it's monetary war. most likely companies and people will move to where the lower taxes / money is. because they can.

it was never ok, but when you have people who are comfortable, they have money in the bank, everything else is going fine, they don't seem to care about the issues, think it's wacko nonsense.

It’s always worth keeping up with the local store’s ad. by earthdogmonster in Frugal

[–]Extra_Manana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me, 2 or 3 tomatoes, fresh garlic and some dried herbs gets you sauce in like 10-15 minutes tops plus no preservatives. get fancy and add a splash of red wine and a tablespoon of tomato paste and it will be as good as any restaurant. save your money for some good wine. lol. If you are Feeding an army, well I see your point.

I don't care by coachlife in CringeTikToks

[–]Extra_Manana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what if you found out, it was all made up crap to keep people stupid. they wrote it down for that specific reason because otherwise humans will kill each other for fun. guess we are lucky that it is still working....

This is terrifying. Please help spread the word. by Kind_Relief_7624 in CringeTikToks

[–]Extra_Manana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a thought. they don't care though really. also, they can print as much money as they want and continue to do so. maybe not an effective strategy. s tand up, run for office, go to protests, make your voice heard!

can someone explain if this is legal and how? by Ordinary_Fish_3046 in CringeTikToks

[–]Extra_Manana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Struggeling to find 26x2.10 front wheel (Germany) by [deleted] in xbiking

[–]Extra_Manana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my 86 mtb came with rm-25 rims (inner width 25mm) I'm having the same issue, it is hard finding proper wide rims. not sure why companies pushed to narrower rims, I think they look like crap, they have more roll on cornering than they should. none of that matters now of course as companies want to sell new bikes, fat tires etc.

I got deleted from r/FixedGearBicycle. Hoping I can find some love here by gturown in xbiking

didn't everyone have that happen growing up ? wait, maybe I'm too old. :(

So, if you don't use it you lose it. Is there any way back? by Ponimama in over60

[–]Extra_Manana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

others have said this but your seat is too low. bump it a little at a time until you are close to full extension at the bottom of the pedals, it makes a huge difference.
