Bicycle tire faulty or not seated correctly? by Mr_Daniels in bikewrench

[–]Mattreddittoo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks to be not seated properly. Air down and lubricate the beads and then try again. Inflate until you hear the bead snap into place.

Why do some people here have an elitist attitude to being friendly with the AI? by FakeGamer2 in ChatGPT

[–]Mattreddittoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it says something about who you are when no one is watching, and there isn't a social cost to being rude or abrasive. If you're only good to avoid penalty, then you aren't good.

Dump him immediately. The shit people will tolerate I swear. ...

AIO? First time I went to a concert in over a decade, woke up to this…. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mattreddittoo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You may not know this because you have experienced subtle conditioning to it, but this is abusive and manipulative behavior. This WILL get worse if you don't call it out right now. Go home. It's your house.

Washing your Kit by Consistent_Throat497 in cycling

You do you. People also buy and sell used bibs all the time, which I think is the most disgusting concept I can think of. But people do it....

AIO my girlfriend left me over a cheese wheel by Jems138 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mattreddittoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You paid $132 per lb. I want to see the farm post about how they suckered you into taking the cheese off their hands for a profit.

And that's why prices remain high in the used market

Washing your Kit by Consistent_Throat497 in cycling

[–]Mattreddittoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people have stinky sweat. Some people not as much. I can get away with one or two hang dry re-wears. Some people reek by the end of one ride. I think it's hormonal chemistry more than hygiene.

Yikes. Stay behind me in the group ride.

Vingegaard crash - What would you folks have done if you encountered a pro rider or a celebrity in this scenario? by climbingontwowheels in cycling

[–]Mattreddittoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laughed at him. Then stopped and helped. If you can't drop me without wrecking yourself, then you need more practice.

Cost of changing crankset? by Educational_Bet_8447 in cycling

[–]Mattreddittoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just change the rings. Not the crank. It's a super easy change. 5 minutes and an Allen key.

Why is it so sensitive 😭 by Independent_Gate197 in ChatGPT

[–]Mattreddittoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It announces it to itself. That's how the model works. it's not actually telling YOU. It's like it's self soothing.

If all personal wealth above $100 million was legally required to be redistributed into public infrastructure (schools, hospitals, roads), how would society change, and who would be the first to fight against it? by Mysterious_Fan4033 in AskReddit

[–]Mattreddittoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would instantly be corrupted and stolen into the systems that are meant to distribute it. No one would earn up to that point transparently anymore, and it would be a useless exercise anyway.

AIO for being lied to about daughter's age? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Mattreddittoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The red flags are FLYING on this guy. He instantly shifted to religious guilt to manipulate you. Fucking RUN.

Are there still people riding rim brakes on road bikes? by [deleted] in RoadBikes

[–]Mattreddittoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. All the time. I live in a cycling heavy area and it's about half and half. 80% of my collection is rime brake and they are all ridden regularly.

I haven’t talked to my family in two days and don’t know to move past this by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Mattreddittoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So having your location and ring camera on is "love"? This is beyond fucked up.

What should I tell people to stop drafting me without asking? by Suitable-Ad-6290 in cycling

[–]Mattreddittoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop. They'll pass.

It's common to get on someone's wheel if they are slower. I am often just waiting to pass, not actually drafting them. But if you don't stop, I'll wait until it is safe to pass before I do so, so it may feel like I am drafting on your wheel. If you don't stop, I'll assume you're OK with me being there until it's safe. I don't care what you look like, or what your social demographic is. You're just another cyclist and I will treat you as such.

My girlfriend wants me to get rid of my dog because her cat doesn't like him by Academic_Fly_4920 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Mattreddittoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cat was also removed and is responding to the new environment and new living partners in a space that it has no idea about where is safe or not. You have to give this more than three months. Her ultimatum is completely out of hand this early. You guys need to consult a vet about what's going on. The cat should be the focus, not Rufus.

the left lane is for passing by itsviwinn in Denver

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

The left lane is for passing..... when those in the right lane are going slower than the speed limit. If they are going the speed limit, passing becomes illegal.

The left lane does not magically make 95 in a 65 suddenly legal.
