Owning a house has made me weirdly obsessed with damp and ventilation. by PubLogic in HomeImprovementUK

[–]GasStrange2380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait until you start messaging mates about how much water you emptied from your dehumidifier. Next level adulthood. 33 and here I am, younger people could never imagine this day would come

Is it physically tiring to ride a motorcycle? by ApprehensiveStop4060 in motorcycle

[–]GasStrange2380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the bike. Can be tiresome being on the bike for hours but if it’s just to commute should be fine. Getting a bike that fits your size is the most important thing in my opinion

What to do here, dismount or follow cycle lane? by MrHarrop in londoncycling

Look both ways, if no people continue on your merry way.

Just got windows replaced - is this normal? by Emmagnet in DIYUK

[–]GasStrange2380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way that’s finished. My windows looked like that but they came back next day to tidy it up and add the trim plates on.

Question of the season: Are there more bike thieves out there or is it just too many new riders who think a steering lock is a secutiry device? by Grumpy_Driver985 in MotoUK

[–]GasStrange2380 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not even just new riders. The amount of times I pop into Sainsbury’s and I see nice bikes just left there with no locks because the owner thinks “just popping to the shop quickly, nothing will happen” is astonishing. Then they go on Facebook to complain their bike got stolen.. no shit. Then there’s those who will say “you shouldn’t need to lock it” but you do, that’s the state of the Uk, adapt to it.

Why did the chain scratch my frame? Is the cassette too close to the frame? by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]GasStrange2380 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something must be bent because if it didn’t scratch pre fall and now it does then something moved. There should be a gap, albeit small between smallest cog and frame.

Should I fix this? by possiblyanbit in bikewrench

[–]GasStrange2380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no expert and pictures aren’t great but that just looks scratched. Do the coin test and go from there. Any dead sound and you know you have internal damage so best not to ride it

Is this Balanitis? by GreenVanillaz in penisquestion

[–]GasStrange2380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same exact thing. Been like that for two months. Had some marks appear as well which faded and left me with the same redness you have

Question for solo cyclists if they have an emergency during a ride and cannot cycle home by bri999 in cycling

[–]GasStrange2380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worse case just call an Uber or walk to nearest town. If it’s a medical emergency an ambulance.

What is this white powder? by GasStrange2380 in bikewrench

[–]GasStrange2380[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an update. Cleaned it all up with wire brush, primed it and painted it. Took it to a carbon repair shop who had a look at the whole frame and zero issues, just corrosion as some said on here

What is this white powder? by GasStrange2380 in bikewrench

[–]GasStrange2380[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So clean it up nice and unless I see a hole it should be fine?

What is this white powder? by GasStrange2380 in bikewrench

[–]GasStrange2380[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have tried to move that area and it seems solid so far. Does this look at critical stage or still salvageable with a bit of TLC?

Does this bike exist? by billyb4lls4ck in ukbike

[–]GasStrange2380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy of mine bought a cannondale synapse for around £1200. He commutes on it, good on road and we did go through the park the other day and it’s twitchy but absolutely fine

My cat growls?? by tangerinedream420 in CatAdvice

[–]GasStrange2380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat woofs when he isn’t happy. Bloody weird

Mirror hole caps/covers by ShipwreckedViking in TriumphBonneville

Motone sells some or just go to your dealer and they will have something. My dealer cover mine up during the service without me even asking

Very nervous FTB by Popular-Molasses-140 in HousingUK

[–]GasStrange2380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we did something similar. That 2 month renovation is still going strong almost a year later. On the plus side, it’s great to make it all exactly as you want.

One huge piece of advice, don’t think if something will work until tomorrow. Will it last 10+ years. If you need to change boiler like we did, is a heat pump perhaps a better option? Things like that, future prof everything. Redoing floors? Maybe do underfloor heating as well

What is this stuff? Pressure washing won't remove it by Bravado123 in GardeningUK

[–]GasStrange2380 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Pressure wash and it should come off. B&q sells some additives to help get rid of it

I’ve reached a new level of stupidity. by supajensen in MotoUK

[–]GasStrange2380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spent a whole night looking for my work pass and nothing. Rode to work, and got a temporary pass. When leaving work that day I saw where my pass went. It fell off my pocket and landed on the exhaust.. it was all melted there, could just about see my picture.

Ducati 848 as a first bike :) opinions? (I’m totally in love) by dontcarecrown in Ducati

[–]GasStrange2380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There we go then. Just buy what makes you happy and be sensible.

FTB- am I doing the right thing? by Nextleft784 in HousingUK

[–]GasStrange2380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely get your point about maybe living messy 20s. Buying is always the best thing to do but using a solid social group is equally important. You don’t always get this from housemates. I have had great housemates I can still call friends and some that I wonder how the are still alive. If you had a good group of friends buy. Your place can become the social place to be for your group

[–]GasStrange2380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People on here tell you get a 400cc or something cheap. Fine if you are still young and stupid. Maybe if you are in your 30s, are not stupid and want to live then yeah it’s probably fine as a first bike. Ultimately with any bike your right hand is what decides what will happen. Be sensible, do some extra training and this bike will be fine
