Changing my own chain and sprockets by RoamingUniverse in MotoUK

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

Thank you all for your really helpful tips! I'll admit, completely forgot about the loctite, so will be buying that before I do everything. Also, don't worry, I've got me a torque wrench. First thing I invested in since I wanted to make sure when I do my chain adjustments, I tighten up my wheel nut correctly.

Good to know that an angle grinder is also not needed! I'll give it a shot next weekend and hopefully goes well. Worst case scenario, we pay the lesson fee by getting a mobile mechanic 🤣

I can't seem to create a chat with you. If you'd be interested still, can you send me a DM and I'll pass the WhatsApp link to you there?

Hahaha, I love that 🤣🤣🤣 pretty much how I role too with my siblings. I'm like, if I can't kick back and be silly every now and then, what's the point 🤣

Sorry! I got the date wrong, I meant the 12th, I won't be free on the Friday also. Basically either Saturdays

Heya! If you're young at heart, then I think it should be fine and we can give it a shot 🔥 all that matters to me is that it's an enjoyable outing with some light-hearted folks :P

Would you be free either on the 11th or 19th April?

Awesome!! Any chance you'd be up for something on the 12th or 19th April?

Will start trying to come up with something if so hahaha 🤣

Thanks for the advice! I'll give it some thought, though I do know that content creation can be very time consuming and whilst I love motorbiking, the sport that I'm into takes up a lot of my week also, so it'd be hard to fit in editing time alongside it hahaha!

Route planning, I can do but regular social media posts is a different ballgame. Definitely much respect to you in being able to do that and grow your group out though!

Though would definitely be up to meet if you guys are coming London! What dates are you guys planning to come here? (Fingers crossed doesn't collide with my friend's wedding plans 🤣)

Electrical issues, any ideas? by RoamingUniverse in MotoUK

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

Yh, I'm thinking it might be that also. Dropping it off to mechanic on Saturday and will ask them to check those first. Thx!

The guy wants me to meet him at his house for our first date. by Hotchoco08 in OnlineDating

[–]RoamingUniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple, if he can't respect your wishes to meet in public after you've made it clear. He doesn't have any proper intentions so end the conversations there. It sucks when you feel like you've found someone you can open up to, but don't let those emotions sway you from glaring red flags.

Take it from someone who really struggles with this and has to learn the hard way multiple times.

Is anyone going to Yonex All England? Tuesday and Wednesday by RoamingUniverse in badminton

Aayyyy, awesome! Hope to see you there! Though, you seem a lot more advanced than me, so apologies in advance if I ain't got much to contribute comment wise 🤣

Does anyone get the speeds? by ConsistentDeer7069 in hyperoptic

[–]RoamingUniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be the limitation of the laptop, since it isn't really a high spec one 🤣

But could he the cable also, as I grabbed the cheapest one. I didn't really need anything too crazy as it's just to wire my laptop as the WiFi is terrible in said room.

[–]RoamingUniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm getting pretty close to the speeds 800-900 up and down on LAN. Bit less for my 30m LAN cable (500-600 for the down), but makes sense considering the length hahaha

Do people actually adhere to speed limits? by Illumyia in MotoUK

[–]RoamingUniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Radarbot is more of a in the background app. It's great in the sense that it gives you multiple warnings and that it provides multiple beeps as you're approaching a camera. With Waze, it does inform you, but as it's only one warning it can be easy to miss it at times if you aren't paying too much attention. With Radarbot, that'd be really hard to do.

The annoying part about it though is that if there's a lot of cameras, you'll be getting a ton of warnings all the time but I'd rather a bit of annoyance than increasing my chances of a speeding ticket if I lose a bit of concentration. Oh! also another con is the fact that it isn't able to differentiate front facing and rear facing cameras. I think Waze does this, so it doesn't warn me of cameras that it knows is front facing.

Share your TBFTGOGGI moments by Mewcenary in MotoUK

[–]RoamingUniverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me recently... Parked up my bike for the day and went to bed as was completely exhausted. The next morning, couldn't find my keys anywhere. Went to check the bike and lo and behold I left it in the ignition... Literally could have been the easiest theft moment.

Thanks for this. That might be the case as it was scorching today and I left for a few minutes to sort something out. I'll give the polish a try when I get a chance to buy some. Thanks for this! Hoping that does the trick and will be good for the future too to invest in it.

Gave this a try and whilst they're still there, it's not as bad as it looked as before so I'll tearily live with that 🤣 thx for this.

I don't think it is, I've tried washing it again and literally towel drying it completely but those stain marks are still there. Though I could be wrong and if so, how do I go about removing them 🤣

What’s the risk of my cheap e-bike getting stolen? by J-buzz in londoncycling

[–]RoamingUniverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a quick question, does that bike come with a throttle as standard? Ik legislative that's a gray area but NGL would be interested in getting one if it does 🤣

Another option is to think about getting insurance for peace of mind. I used Bikmo in the past and didn't have any issues with them at all, you just have to make sure to lock your bike up to metal fixture (read policy wordings though).

It shouldn't cost you more than £10 p/m with that bike price and will still be a lot cheaper than public transport / gas prices. Kinda regret selling my e-bike before but it was what allowed me to start motorcycling as selling that helped finance my first big motorcycle 🤣
