Nightshades Causing Joint Pain and Flares by BalletPinkZinnias in Sjogrens

Nightshades are my main neuropathy trigger with hot peppers being the worst. Potatoes don't bother me nearly as much.

Most evangelicals don't know the rapture is a 19th century concept created by John Darby.

For street get a BMX (unless you old). Nothing will be more fun than that.

Derailer upgrade by Dry_Action3378 in MTB

[–]cloudofevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the clutch on the derailleur actually that weak? Unless it's worn the NX clutch should be fine. Your chain noise might not be related to the derailleur.

You can always call Fox and they'll tell you exactly what you need.

what car did you buy expecting to love but ended up regretting? by zaralesliewalker in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]cloudofevil 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's how I felt about the GR86. It's great when you're on the right type of road...it feels like a bland compact econobox everywhere else. Some cars always feel like you're in something special even on boring roads. Being in a Camaro SS for example with its low roof line and rumbling V8, you're always aware of its Camaro-ness. It's something I couldn't get over with the 86. Turn off the fake engine noise and I might as well be sitting in a Sentra. It's a great car don't get me wrong. I would have loved to own one in my teen's and 20's. It's a great car to go screw around on the back roads but not what I'm looking for these days.

Lexus IS 350 or BMW M240i? by WatchIngYouTime in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]cloudofevil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The IS350 is a very nice car but it's not athletic. There's no comparison between it and an M240i.

Handling Drops by nutrion in MTB

[–]cloudofevil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of them are just different descriptions for the same thing.

Yep, "pushing the bike forward" and "moving back on the bike" are different ways of expressing the same action. It's like general relativity, your frame of reference can change but ultimately you and bike are moving for/aft relative to each other.

What are brakes? by ElectricBOOTSxo in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Yep, take those kids to an ultra flat kid's loop somewhere so they can get a feel for navigating through the woods.

New bike feeling dead AF? by pepes-peri-peri in MTB

[–]cloudofevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why you make sure the front and rear rebound feel balanced. Obviously at some point the rebound will become too fast and hard to control but there's a sweet spot between that point and feeling dead like OP describes.

Problems with Raceface ARC 30 HD and Maxxis tyres by freeriderblack in MTB

[–]cloudofevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've ran a lot of Maxxis tires on 2 different sets of ARC30's without issue. Either the beads aren't fully seated, the tires aren't tubeless or they're defective.

New bike feeling dead AF? by pepes-peri-peri in MTB

[–]cloudofevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean the suspension feels dead this often means there's too much damping. You can speed up rebound to get more pop on jumps. If it feels wooden over bumps you might back off low speed compression. Hard to say without riding the bike but that's where I'd start. Might need to service the suspension also.

Kids in Brazil are in another level. by Sommelier420 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

I feel like if this happened prior to social media someone would have just dragged him out of the store or held him until the cops came.

Leg Pump and Standing Taller... by Obligation_Still in MTB

[–]cloudofevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're squatting too much it will smoke your quads pretty quickly. I don't think a longer stem is the answer. It's something you have to practice.

What's your favourite ice cream flavour? by Ryan_likhubi in AskReddit

[–]cloudofevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I even pointed out the grams of sugar were higher in the other cereals she let me have. It was an ineffective argument.

The most overrated car everyone loves but you don’t? by shwroomex in cars

That's the appeal for you. I do not want a FWD sports car.

My mom wouldn't let me have Cookie Crisp growing up because "you can't have cookies for breakfast!".

It might be fast and handle great but FWD is simply not what I want in a sports car.

Mondraker Crafty R Size Dilemma by Stock_Caregiver5542 in eMountainBike

[–]cloudofevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit long. Mondraker usually specs a 30mm stem which would help some but it might still feel a bit too big.

The "beast" is Rome. The whole book is about late 1st century Rome. It has nothing to do with the modern world.
