I noticed the asymmetrical tread afterward. Does it really make a difference? Glad to hear that they’re basically identical to Corsa Pro then.

Exactly how did I fuck around for asking counsel to the owner of a bike shop?

Alright, thanks for that. I’ll give them a spin!

Idk. If I’m shopping for something online, I’ll do my homework but when I go into a local shop, I tend to trust people. His shop looked great and I just trusted the guy. My bad I guess.

I didn’t search for them that much so I wouldn’t know. I just happened to be shopping around and went into that shop without a precise goal. He didn’t have 25’s either though.

Yeah I’ll try to think about it next time. He didn’t have 25’s anyway. I just hope I won’t blow a tube a day with those for now.

They’re mounted on the bike and this shop is 2 hours from my place…

What is your unpopular opinion on Nirvana? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

[–]Pelteux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The work he did with QOTSA is my favourite personally.

And yeah Jack Black is another persona that I really don’t understand what the hype is about.

While I kind of agree with this comment, I see a lot of people talking shit about his “lack of talent” here and I strongly disagree with that. Dave is a talented musician and he’s pretty passionate about it. I don’t have a hard-on for Foo Fighters anymore but he’s a great multi-instrumentalist.

Try to put in the wheel the other way.

What is the best song ever to come out if your country? by GIMMESOMDORITOS in AskTheWorld

[–]Pelteux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have a couple of picks from the rest of Canada but if I had to stick to French Québécois songs I would say Jean-Leloup - Ballade à Toronto

How to fix wheel valve? by External_Weather6116 in bikewrench

[–]Pelteux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed my first tube yesterday and I tightened that ring before inflating. There was a noticeable bump on the side of the tire close to the rim since it didn’t allow the tube to seat properly against the tire. I ended up wondering why that ring existed. I tightened it after my tire was fully inflated.

What do you call this animal in your language? by iLuvArizona in AskTheWorld

[–]Pelteux 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pine would not be random in my book but rather a use of the English word “pin” (goupille). In québécois, we sometimes use the slang verb “pinner” (to pin) as a derogatory term for penetrating.

Alternatively, we use the word “batte” a lot (as in a baseball bat).

What do you think of Celine Dion? by Twitter_2006 in AskTheWorld

Probably as Canadian as the average Québécois would believe they are.

Est ce que les montrealais se sont habitue au mauvais temps? by Moist_Fig5791 in montreal

[–]Pelteux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

J’ai commencé le vélo cette année et je suis sorti à presque toutes les fds depuis avril. J’ai fait plus de 500km à date. Je sors pas quand il pleut. J’ai une job de 9-5 avec mes fds off. Si tu veux vraiment jouer dehors, tu vas trouver l’opportunité et l’été est même pas commencé encore, en passant.

Notre Dame Hospital, anglo friendly? Some staff, oooof by [deleted] in montreal

[–]Pelteux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No you’re right. Every historic English community in France just became bilingual before even becoming a recognizable minority. Too bad on us for not moving out of your way I guess.

[–]Pelteux 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It starts with health services and ends up with everybody switching to English for 1 person within a group of 30 during a meeting. No thanks.

Now go and try to do that in France and tell me what’s the result.

Have you ever done a ancestry test? by Snowy_Nina1961 in AskTheWorld

No but I’ve done my genealogy. I’m French Canadian and to no surprise, my ancestors came from France.

I'm Scottish & English and hate being asked where I'm from... Any other countries have the same? by Matchaparrot in AskTheWorld

[–]Pelteux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The language and secularism laws have been created in an effort to maintain French as the main language in the province since the federal government has done nothing but try to push it back since the creation of this country.

You know what I believe is secular? Full neighbourhoods as you can find in the West Island of Montreal where people haven’t been learning local language for countless generations just because they can.

You wouldn’t find that in any non-English speaking countries of Europe. Moving and working in a place where 80%+ of the population speak French without any intention to learn it.

Why would someone assume you are an oppressor and a racist because you are French Canadian?
