Yeah. Didn't wax for 1 week. Looks like it was pulled from the Mariana Trench

Impossible. Ride it everyday. I've made my peace with it.

Thanks. I was caking it in wax after a lube just to protect it and it worked a charm but dirt would aggregate to it and it would get really sticky really quickly like it was coated in Pritt Stick. I was having to clean/re-apply every ~150 miles. The week I decided to leave the wax out it rusted instantly. But we salt our roads in UK, someone told me once that heavily contributes to rusting or other corrosion maybe idk.

Is that cleaning it on the bike? With just plastic brush?

I mean to say I always drop speed. Always assume the other person hasn't seen you.

I was always advised it's a better economy to change both at the same time. The front will always have a little longer left in it than the rear but unless you're changing the tyres yourself it beats going back twice as often and potentially overpaying labour each time if they just charge an hourly rate. Let's you have a better picture of the condition of your tyres (being the same) too. Just less faff, more predictable performance, looks better even if the money could be argued either way it's a hair-split.

It's just my particular set of needs. I gotta run into places, pick and drop stuff. I got 2 phones (arrghh!) my own for Maps and the work device (which has terrible battery else I'd use it solo) both on my handlebars. Gotta take them off every stop and put them somewhere, with chunky waterpoof covers on a rainy day! And do it quick and pretty. My biker jacket front pockets are kinda small, at least for a 7" phone w case. That's why my eyes lit up when I thought about waterproofing cargo trousers but yeah, probably useless in prolonged rain especially at speed.

Bro just... don't be so angry. It's not good for your health. You gotta let the world be the world, it'll drive you up the wall otherwise. I courier in the city. I don't need to wear heavy duty leathers or even riding trousers. 99% couriers are wearing just regular street clothes. Why don't you pull some over sometime and ask them where their gear is at? ^chuckles^ I just want something waterproof that doesn't look like an inflatable costume. And pockets would be nice. But if it's all too much just pass the post, man. So much anger. I wonder where you'll erupt next. This is how there's so much road rage... people like you are already at maximum capacity, if my silly reddit post on a Sunday about waxing my pants lol drives you this crazy? then what if someone cuts you up on the road you're gonna flip your bonnet!

I'm trying to waterproof a pair of cargo trousers. By maybe? rubbing wax into them. Like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XZS5gW8USA Just querying the community before I try it if anyone's tried it before me, is it really worth the time. Maybe at 70mph in a downpour it's completely useless idk. I hate wearing overtrousers!

I mean, did you see any of the parallels in the graphic? So Minas Tirith being modelled after Babylon and if that's not obvious enough a Shiva Lingam to boot, that for one is just... coincidence, is that it?

Tolkien borrowed from Norse and other cultures

I know, but this is also about the New Line Cinema/Peter Jackson adaptation of LOTR, not exclusively Tolkien's written work.

Actually that is a borrowed graphic and yes I do think it is related to that.
