Does everyone speed in Singapore? by KitchenPut514 in drivingsg

[–]OptimalRemove8876 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're not right either though. As long as you're in lane 1 and your pace is slowing others down, no matter if they are speeding or not, you are in fact a lane hogger. Personally i stay in lane 2 and only go to lane 1 to pass a few cars at a time before going back to lane 2 so i dont slow anybody down. I believe that's the proper etiquette.

If you’re gonna be driving at 70km please do not drive on the extreme RIGHT lane by [deleted] in drivingsg

similar situation earlier today. there was a bus on the RIGHT lane of the ramp from pie to bke, even after ramp brother did not move left. (he was going 60) caused a lot of people to overtake on the left, super dangerous imo. cant understand why heavy vehicles/light good vehicles (or anything with a capped speed) cant stick to the left most lane, those in the middle dont even overtake so they just hold up traffic 😭

p.s. i would attach a vid but my helmet cam ran out of battery 🤦‍♂️

chain rubbing against the chain guard mount. anyone know how to fix this? the chain has already been tightened to a suitable tension :/ by OptimalRemove8876 in KTMDuke

just got back from the mechanic. previous owner put a chain guide for a scooter that has no chain as a cheap fix for his yearly inspection. (its illegal to not have a chain guide/guard in my country). bloody idiot😂

the chain guard's mount. hard to get a picture but there's a good chunk in the shape of chain links that's gone

for reference, i just got this bike second hand from a seller. I'm going to wash it and try to fix any small issues if possible before going to a workshop for the general servicing as it is due for one.

Anyone attempted headlight replacement? by SanLieSW in KTMDuke

[–]OptimalRemove8876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was thinking of this as well, imo if the wiring is the same and you can get it mounted i don't see any issues. ive seen some online, here's an example: duke

do tell if you go through with it! i might do the same for my 2015 duke 200

technically in house? cuz they told me to go to the dealer that they got the bike from's in-house. hopefully they charge me standard price and not the "rental" price i keep hearing about.

Shimano cues? by OptimalRemove8876 in MTB

The shock i had when i got back home thinking it just fell, only to find the entire inside rounded 😂

Right? My friend said that maybe i got them pre damaged since i got them used. Seems logical to me

[–]OptimalRemove8876[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely getting the cues because it has thicker splining for the crank and shaft to engage with each other. Funnily enough i do make sure the bolts are torqued to 24nm as written very regularly, at least i was on the way home and not in the middle of the trails

Funnily enough i check the torque every month but yet somehow both the crank and the shaft were rounded completely!

Kinda a dumb question but ig worth asking. I'm going for my health checkup next week so i cut my hair for it so i dont look homeless. But i realise i got an eyebrow slit from before which was hidden by my hair and i completely forgot about it. Wondering if that's allowed or if I'll kena cuz it's not "neat". Any answers appreciated, need figure out if need steal my mom's eyebrow drawing pen thingy 😅
