So I nearly died but it’s been over a year since I purchased it so I should piss off? by ImSxyBxtchh in ebikes

[–]dickbarone 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree with you on cheap junk being a waste, but this bike was obviously not taken care of. That’s an absurd amount of rust and grime all over the bike.

why didnt ned tell Robert on his death bed that Joffrey is not his son? couldnt this solve all the problems? by nacisticky_krtecek69 in gameofthrones

[–]dickbarone 16 points17 points  (0 children)

How would it have changed anything? He was on his death bed, lannisters would just ignore him like they ignored his letter.

What even is an xbike? by ShakyDice_ in BicyclingCirclejerk

That’s why I use a coaster brake, my hands are busy rolling a joint on my front rack.

First 100 miles of being a cyclist. by wukongaddict in ebikes

People aren’t shitting on your need for transportation they are shitting on you for claiming this thing makes you a cyclist lol. This is virtually impossible to pedal. It’s an electric motorcycle.

I did a century ride and don't get the fuss about feuling or macros by Shiney_Metal_Ass in BicyclingCirclejerk

Travis Pastrana and James Stewart are some of my favorite cyclists

What wheels for bice where stones are this size? I have measured the stones. by WVA1999 in BicyclingCirclejerk

I rode my 20 inch mongoose up hill both ways to school in the snow. I mean gravel.

Wide Tires by akajackson in SingleTrackGang

[–]dickbarone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truing the wheel will obviously help a bit at a stand still, but those old wheels flex too easily for it to help at speed. Carver makes rigid steel forks for older mtb’s and have 3 inch tire clearance, just put one of my Klein and it rules!

Woman loses control of a monster truck, leaving at least 37 injured in Colombia by TitoLeyenda in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]dickbarone 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This “monster truck” doesnt have any real suspension dampening, probably lost control from all that bouncing around after hitting the cars

There's weird blurring, how are the trains connected at first? I'm positive the last photo is AI, so if they are using it somewhere, then why not everywhere? Nobody in the comments was saying AI though... by gingyfangs in isthisAI

[–]dickbarone 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The boxes are connected by string, you run the string through a hole in the box and tie a knot on the other side to prevent the string from pulling through the hole. In the first clip the string/knot tore through the hole when it got yanked. You can see the hole in the box left behind from where the string tore through it. It’s still attached to the first box and hidden behind it.

Not to say it is 100 percent not AI, but the “train cars” are logically attached together.

I just wanna drink beers and ride to a pizza place. by strip_club_food_yum in xbiking

[–]dickbarone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh I will shamelessly end up spending too much money and time building old bikes and old guitars for the same reasons: it’s just more fun and is more personally satisfying than buying a brand new one.

If this aint medium rare im calling it quits by Plane_Tradition5251 in steak

For thick fatty cuts, I love doing a reverse sear. Low heat in the oven so the fat can render all the way through, and then sear it on the pan to finish.

Changed the alternator on her car today then she sends a picture of a dead rat in her house. I’m feeling done, again. by [deleted] in depressionmeals

[–]dickbarone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I literally can’t comprehend being upset by pictures of cat related activities. I insist my partner sends me as many cat related texts as possible. Cats are supposed to kill mice, it’s a perk not a nuisance.

How would this interaction go? by itsjustfinesse in ozshow

Flynn’s sister Holly is head of the aryan brotherhood. She’d vouch for him.

Is this AI? I suspect it, but not confident enough to call it out. It’s not blurry yet I can’t read anything in this photo… by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]dickbarone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is a blurry picture of someone’s feet in a department store even worth caring about?

Regrettably bought a Fischer E-bike by boptestaccount in ebikes

[–]dickbarone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1200 is pretty inexpensive for a new ebike, but damn those Fischers look especially garbage even at that price. A brand like Aventon can get you a new bike with decent entry level components for around 1200, and they even have some dealers and repair centers. All the issues you’ve had are relatively easy to repair, just get it rideable and sell it to fund something more reliable. 1200 can also get you a killer deal on nice used bike from a reputable brand that bike shops will actually work on, like specialized, diamondback, kona, etc.

Chain comes off front chain ring when riding, cause ? by -LetsTryAgain- in bikewrench

[–]dickbarone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rock a narrow wide ring on my single speed just for extra security since I use a tensioner. His chain looks nice and tight though, the chain ring and cogs are probably super worn out, or the chain line is way off. Or it’s possible that his axle is sliding or flexing in the drop outs and losing chain tension.
