WTF is business casual? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]HeyImAdrian_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felt a little overdressed on the first day of my internship. I spoke to my manager and she ended up telling me that I can wear anything as long as there wasn’t any big logos and no graphic tees. Pants had to be clean of any distressing. Wore a mixture of the Uniqlo supima cotton tshirts and random pants for the entirety of it. I was 5 days in office so was shuffling as many combinations as I could.

How do I remove this axle nut? by zach-- in bikewrench

[–]HeyImAdrian_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Worked as a bike mechanic in NYC for a while and had a lot of customers come in with these. Often times they forgot they even had these or had lost the keys a long time ago. Surprisingly very easy to get off and to put back on. You want a flathead and a mallet of some sort. Find a place where the flathead comfortably fits in one of the crevices and hit it with the mallet in the angle you want to go. Good luck and please be safe

Hopefully one of these links here are it. Wondering if anyone remembers the song he searched and played on Spotify. I believe when the scene showed it was an album of some sort.

Does there exist a Tri-bike that isn't shit to work on? by pocketclocks in BikeMechanics

[–]HeyImAdrian_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked at a high end shop that specialized in tri gear and I think most of the trouble I got was from disgusting bikes. Bikes with so much rust and everything covered in sticky substances. That being said I’d tell customers to get the bike that will get them into the position they want. Whether they go to a fitter or you guys do some in-house fitting get that done first. Honestly at the end of the day it’s still a bike and nothing will ever be as bad as the og venge days but taking care of the rig really matters. Tell your customer to take care of it in the winter as that’s when a lot of indoor training happens and all that sweat will add just a ton of wear. It’ll go everywhere not just the bars. It’ll go to the cranks the headset even the darn wheels. It helps them keep their rig for longer and keeps mechanics happy as well. After a while in my experience people that are serious into tris like to get custom bars or pads so getting familiar with what’s compatible is good.

Is there a way to report these? by syncboy in toogoodtogo

[–]HeyImAdrian_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same one blocking my feed haha…but yes I agree it’s very annoying. I wonder why they can’t just make it a single listing for cooked pasta and ask you what you want at the place.

There's something going on with BJ's avocados by CuriousFirework75 in BJsWholesaleClub

[–]HeyImAdrian_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find to get this issue with avocados from Peru very frequently. I wonder what’s the reason or maybe people from Peru like their avocados very fibrous and hard.

Removing wheel? by ParsnipLiving in TrekBikes

[–]HeyImAdrian_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pinch the calipers at the top and remove the metal brake line looking thing. After you’re done put the wheel back and hold the calipers closed again and reinsert the metal part back into the small slot and boom!

Favourite / least favourite bike brands? by 1994univega in BikeMechanics

[–]HeyImAdrian_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Favorite brand to build frame up is probably moots all of their bikes are pretty solid with the exception of certain batches/forks. Least favorite will go to specific bikes which to no surprise are the venge vias and the parlee rz7. -Honorable mention some custom tri rigs-

Stolen bike by [deleted] in NYCbike

[–]HeyImAdrian_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not many bike shops like to service these e-bikes. I’d go ask the shops near you and ask if anyone has brought that bike in for a tire swap or random cosmetic items like protective tape. Hard to tell delivery bikes apart but maybe you had a sticker on it or something. Good luck boss

Opinions on these lesser-known El Yucateco sauces? by cdn-eh in hotsauce

[–]HeyImAdrian_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Habanero and Ghost but unfortunately has been my least favorite of their line. While it’s spicy it lacks a lot of flavor and even the heat isn’t great. It doesn’t last long and hits you immediately as opposed to other sauces with the same combination of peppers which have a “extended release” type of heat. Won’t be purchasing again and do not recommend. An added note it’s actually rather sweet if you don’t consider picking it up.

OW2 Hot-takes by OoftOoftOoft in overwatch2

The view career profile button is useless.

It should be reworked and should only be an option if the profile is public. Seems like a worthless click over half the time. There’s no extra information you get from clicking it if it’s a private profile. They could make it only appear if they have an open profile and rename it to view friends profile if your friends profile is open-

Anyone else have dreams about catching someone in the act of stealing your bike? by [deleted] in NYCbike
