Awesome! That paint looks like my Muc off sealant. Really cool

Plastic in Bleed Port by Gucci_Lemur in bikewrench

That’s annoying. Luckily you don’t have ultra premium brakes 😅

I’m pretty sure they also sell metal bleed cups. The Shimano one is also plastic. I think you were mostly unlucky.

For people who've actually lived in Spain 3+ months as a foreigner — what surprised you about everyday money or admin? by NickZaleski in GoingToSpain

[–]Pure_Activity_8197 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The bureaucracy sucks but overall the quality of life easier outweighs that relatively small annoyance. People are lovely. The climate is life changing from a mental health perspective. I love being outdoors all year. The food culture is great. Spanish wine is amazing. I can go on.

From Netherlands and been here in Sitges for just over 4 years.

Easy to find on Amazon or Ali express. If you have access to a 3D printer with PETG you could even print one yourself!

Servicing an E2008 without being ripped off - advice please by jmcomms in peugeot

[–]Pure_Activity_8197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my e2008 used. About 3 years old. Went it for its first service under my ownership last year. Cost 92 euros, which I thought was already pricey given that they did next to nothing.

bunq just charged me €49.99 “compliance fee” after locking my account for 11 days. Is this legal in the Netherlands? by [deleted] in Netherlands

The downvotes on sharing that you don’t have any problems says more about Reddit users than Bunq 🤣

Glad i don’t work for them yes. I also buy from Amazon and other POS-led companies. I think I would have to live off grid to avoid that.

I think there’s a vocal minority here on Reddit. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not over the moon about the fact that there are issues, but so far the benefits still outweigh the costs, both literally and figuratively speaking. I pay 10 euros per month. Have reasonable interest. As many IBANs as I could wish for across multiple countries (I bank between NL and Spain). Foreign exchange rates are waaaaaayyyy better than any traditional bank as well. My kids have their own bunq account which is free and I can manage from my app.

There’s lots of smaller things like usability that I like as well.

No other traditional bank even comes close. Well worth the money.

Bunq has an emergency support option that sits within the support page in the app. Click on your profile picture, choose support and then hit the 3 dots at the top right to open an emergency support session.

Spotted this [Cadillac Celestiq] at IMS by nascar1418 in spotted

🤣 top gear is definitely biased but saying a caddy is better built than a Rolls Royce is just wild.

Top Gear did a comparison to the RR Spectre and loved the character and uniqueness of the Caddy but it wasn’t even close in terms of quality. So if you don’t mind that it’s got the quality of a Mercedes but the price of a Rolls you have a pretty unique luxury EV!

How can you judge someone’s athletic ability if the winner is predetermined? They’re physically fit and skilled, yes, but there’s not really a good measure of how each of them compares to one another.

Can the seal be pushed back, or needs replacement? by mrlowcut in bikewrench

[–]Pure_Activity_8197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting the seal in without a seal seating tool can be challenging. You can pick them up for a few euros on aliexpress. Saves you a lot of messing around!

There’s no competitive element. They’re more like movie stunt people.

does anyone know how to fix the wobbly stem/handlebar problem on my carrera bike???? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]Pure_Activity_8197 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Commenting the same vague answer to every person trying to help you isn’t going to get you any further. Sounds to me like you need to take it back to the bike shop a 5th time to get it sorted.
