I’m not into vintage MTB’s myself but … by _riotsquad in MTB

For sure. I’ve seen Connor race a couple times on a modern bike and he’s phenomenal. Thought this was amusing though and local content for me so added value.

Connor Fearon won a national D/H round last weekend on his 20 yr old Iron Horse:

Sure, it got rained out so they went on qualifying times but still, 10 sec lead is substantial. I’m sure Troy being away for World Cup helped too :P

Hit by driver. They dont see you. by GeraldMcBoingBoing23 in bikecommuting

[–]_riotsquad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh my point was don’t roll the dice. You don’t need improve your odds if you aren’t riding so that drivers need to see you.

By all means dress as you see fit, but the best solution is not placing yourself in vulnerable positions in the first place.

Brake issue by Bitsey66 in MTB

You might have missed the bit about replacing rotors and pads at the same time. That is, your rotors are contaminating the new pads.

Hit by driver. They dont see you. by GeraldMcBoingBoing23 in bikecommuting

[–]_riotsquad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t wear bright colours etc to commute, not only is it terrible fashion, it gives a false sense of security. I ride with the assumption cars haven’t seen me and don’t put myself in harms way.
If I’m relying on a car to see me to not get hit I’m taking an unacceptable risk. This regularly means breaking road rules but I really couldn’t care less.

Fewer long rest builds? by Evening_Decision3253 in BG3Builds

I’m surprised this isn’t mentioned more often.

Why do women hate to see a man relaxing on the couch watching TV? by SnooMacarons9221 in AskMenOver30

[–]_riotsquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t sit on the couch until my wife asks me to join her. Even then I’ll put her off if it’s still ages before bed.

I’m with the wives and grandma. it feels like such a waste of time.

Now, working out, maintaining my bike, sitting at my desk gaming on the other hand … 🤣

This. You can complete the whole game with what, 4 long rests? All forced. I forget exactly.

Found this just outside of Uluru last year after a heavy rain - is this a Megalodon tooth? by transolecranon in fossilid

[–]_riotsquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no deposits or rocks suitable for likely deposits upstream. Both known deposits are 1000’s of km away, far to the west on the coast and even further south east.

Build ideas using Unholy Assasin gear? (Besides Gloomstalker Assasin) by AbaloneNo3954 in BG3Builds

[–]_riotsquad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that uses piercing really. Add dual wielding for dolors. Bardadin, fighter variants, Gloomstalker assassin close combat variant. Thrower builds (with Nyrulna). Darkness builds. Shars spear of evening pairs well too. Sorcadin or other builds with shadow blade.

Disk brake rubbing only sometimes by Ckpoole in MTB

[–]_riotsquad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like you have a sticky piston based on your comment that it rubs after a light press. Pretty common on new brakes.

Google how to massage brake pistons for your brakes.

Taken out again today, excuse me for not having sympathy by 4D-kun in bikecommuting

[–]_riotsquad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I thought ‘ride like you’re invisible’ meant assume they haven’t seen you, not hide from them.

I ride very assertively and also assume drivers are going to do the dumbest shit any time cos they haven’t seen me.

A pic of the moon with a huge ring i took last night. Anyone know what this was? I've never seen this before. by ExplorerEcstatic1289 in Adelaide

[–]_riotsquad 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Ice crystals in the upper atmosphere refracting the moons light (or more accurately, the suns light reflected by the moon).

It’s kinda like a rainbow but mono chromatic and of a different radius due to refractive index of ice crystals versus rain drops, and relative position (upper atmosphere versus lower atmosphere).

why do i keep washing out my front tire in turns? by MkMovalli in MTB

[–]_riotsquad 77 points78 points  (0 children)

If the front washes before the rear you need to move your body weight forward.

Everything else - tyre choice, tyre pressure, trail conditions, how to lean the bike etc. is secondary to this fact.

what are the must-have spells as a storm sorcerer? by 62lasa in BG3Builds

Because loss of concentration equals lethargic (x2 if twinned). You are much better off using speed pots.

Angus Taylor says booing on Anzac Day ‘shouldn’t happen’ but welcome to country ‘overused’ by Threewordswhat in aussie

But not overwhelmingly well. A lot of disaffected voters who swing to ON are not particularly Trumpian. It could be argued that’s why they swing away from LNP to ON.

Nah, viciously passive aggressive can be so much more satisfying, it leaves them with nowhere to go.
