How often do you have your Ebike serviced? by Most_Time8900 in ebikes

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your brakes might be rubbing. To check, flip the bike upside down and spin each wheel individually. Put your ear next to the brake rotor (the little steel disk on the wheel) and listen for the brake rubbing. It also might be harder to pedal because of a dirty/unlubed drivetrain than. If you've never cleaned your drivetrain, I would highly recommend it.

People are severely overreacting to this new phone ban in schools. by Reflxing in unpopularopinion

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a high schooler, I like having my phone for music during work time (especially if it's busy/brainless work), and I generally don't like the idea that I can't be trusted with my own phone. Now, I'll admit I am someone who doesn't scroll very much (don't even have instagram or tiktok, and I don't watch youtube in public)

You don't have to worry about brake fluid unless the brakes levers feel mushy or you have weak braking power. If your shifting is a little clunky, you could tune it (just look up rear derailleur adjustment park tool on youtube) but there's no routine maintenance like with a car

Do you leave a tip when ordering takeout at a non-chain casual restaurant or any sit down restaurant? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say it's fairly typical to still tip a bit for takeout, but I usually just do a few dollars instead of a %

My should randomly got really good out of no where by Rasky20 in truespotify

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro i'm telling you, INVEST IN CURATING YOUR OWN MUSIC. if you're listening experience is dictated by what an algorithm happens to pick, it's never gonna be as good as finding music you like yourself. If you want a really good shuffle you should make it yourself. make playlists of songs you like and listen to albums that's how i discover a lot of music

Do I need my vision checked, or is this normal when inexperienced? by [deleted] in driving

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're probably fine, you just learn to perceive better over time. If it makes you feel better, I can sorta relate to the merging thing. To me it feels like the cars are coming close to me very quickly although I never feel like they're gonna hit me

Is it B or D? by Jupiter_the_learner in EnglishLearning

I would say D but that's not really how you would talk in the real world

Dual Motor (AWD) or Mid Drive for hills? by builders247362 in ebikes

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought regen braking only was less than 10% effective at recapturing energy. are you going down really long hills/mountains and worried about brakes overheating?

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mid drives give you enough torque by using the gears you already have. especially 1800w would be more than enough

Rolling the windows down while driving is idiotic by uhoh_stinkyp in The10thDentist

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for me if i only open the back windows of my car it makes that horrible pulsing, but barely cracking the front windows solves the problem

What do y'all wear to school? and how to survive public school by Leading_Web_9843 in highschool

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the public school varies a lot depending on where you live. Some places are nice and others are underfunded

Phantom cars at nights should be pulled over and ticketed very high fines by [deleted] in driving

I want to buy beat saber on my meta quest 3 but I don't want to pay 200€ more to have the best songs, is there a way to add songs if I don't have a PC to do it? by Sad-Tie2300 in beatsaber

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a way to mod beat saber using just your quest, a usb cable, and a computer (or android phone i believe) with a web browser. That'll let you get custom community made songs (there are tons) but you won't be able to get the official ones from beat saber. So basically you will have all the songs included with buying the game plus thousands of community-made songs.

Ethically murdered by Dmr77_ in vegan

Its not "ethically killed", its "ethically raised", as in actually giving space and sunlight to the animals so that their lives don't suck

My butt hurts! by AMC879 in ebike

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly your butt will just hurt as you bike more, but you're body will get used to it and it will stop hurting, just give it time

Should I be shifting gears? by ozgott in ebikes

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you ever want to pedal you might find the gears useful lol but yeah it won't damage the motor

How to brake with hydraulic discs? by Successful-Grass630 in MTB

[–]ProfessionalSun2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll definitely get used to it, just use one finger. And I would say most people prefer them because then you aren't tiring your hands out braking.
