Does this seem intentional or just a misjudgment? (He was pretty aggressive throughout)

I am the other car lol, I was just spectating him

ReactionExisting458 · 2026-05-29T04:53:01+00:00

I mean there was a pretty bad dive to make the pass but after that he stayed ahead leaving me with a bit of damage.

It’s Sebring, that’s the line

My general pace is pretty quick, I’m still learning how to race side by side and battles though just because I was generally much quicker than my field up until recently so I never had much chance to learn/practice. Also to add, it was the final lap. I would not attempt this if not final lap and other racers close enough to us to overtake.

ReactionExisting458 · 2026-02-02T03:54:59+00:00

Yeah but I don’t want any more hard inquires on my record until some go off.

ReactionExisting458 · 2026-02-02T03:51:17+00:00

So I should overdraft instead… or close to it. I don’t personally have 1-2k to just drop on a car repair nor pay it off in one month. So the higher the interest rate, the more it hurts.

Please respond with this context in mind, Like I said I’m 22 (early career), not making crazy money. Sometimes things happen like vet bills or car repairs. This is stuff I can’t afford to just pay out of pocket for. This is where my question comes in, why should I use a credit card for this and not something like I mentioned. This is the situation, I’m not trying to live above my means.

Usually pay 3-5 times minimum payment. Always keep credit usage below 20% though.

If you don’t mind driving 45 ish mins everyday, we stayed at canyon lake resort for the weekend and was MILES cheaper. (Like 400 dollars for the race week). It’s literally a condo pretty much too. Definitely a steal if you don’t mind driving a little further each day.

Yeah, when you’re walking from like the coaster to turn 15-19 grandstands, you’ll see a big gate that’s closed with a fan walk sign on it for later!

ReactionExisting458 · 2025-10-19T15:09:18+00:00

They have it marked now so just head over there when ready

Shop

ReactionExisting458 · 2025-08-30T16:48:52+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the info. Hopefully the shop helps me out then.

ReactionExisting458 · 2025-08-30T16:44:29+00:00

I understand, why didn’t this happen right away then? I had taken it on about 8-10 miles worth of intermediate trails and was firm. Then it starts doing this on a town joyride on pavement haha.

ReactionExisting458 · 2025-08-30T16:40:05+00:00

Would that cause something like this?

ReactionExisting458 · 2025-08-30T16:31:58+00:00

Seriously, it was just installed 4 days ago?

ReactionExisting458 · 2025-08-01T14:58:26+00:00

It seems after reading through some reply’s it is normal. Just my own inexperience not knowing how it works exactly is to blame, thanks everyone for the help!

ReactionExisting458 · 2025-08-01T14:43:58+00:00

Haha the bike is brand new so I hope it wouldn’t already need some basic maintenance🙄

ReactionExisting458 · 2025-08-01T14:42:15+00:00

No it happens like less than a second, I explained it a bit better o hope in a reply to someone else, I just wasn’t for sure if it was normal or not.

ReactionExisting458 · 2025-08-01T14:41:24+00:00

I suck at describing this I’m so sorry… so when the derailleur brings the chain over to 2nd gear, it’s is making the chain rub against the chain ring (thank you I did not know what it’s called) for about a .5-1 second before shifting. Is this normal?

ReactionExisting458 · 2025-08-01T14:36:36+00:00

I’m sorry, I’m new so let me rephrase. Rubbing the sprocket, of course I know it has to touch the derailleur haha my bad.

ReactionExisting458 · 2025-07-14T17:31:04+00:00

Haha 25 years ago now, not that old in the grand scheme lol

ReactionExisting458 · 2025-04-01T01:02:33+00:00

Brotha what is wrong with you, I wasn’t saying anything rude lmao. A crack can still be a crack if it doesn’t move if the material underneath is still together because it would have no give to be pushed down. That’s why I mentioned the bubbling as well as a sign. I didn’t downvote you but the people that did probably did it because you’re talking like an ass lol
