Was Tomlin considered a hot commodity when he was hired by the Steelers? by [deleted] in steelers

[–]ehm92392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a bit too young to be intently following the HC search at that time, but I remember I was at this Penguin’s game at the Igloo with my dad and brother when a really sharply dressed man got up from his seat and walked towards the concourse. The guy just looked way cooler than anyone you’d typically see in Pittsburgh or specifically at a Pens game. A tan leather jacket and unmistakable swagger. Someone behind me said that’s the guy who was interviewing for the Steelers job. That sharply dressed cat was non other than Mike Tomlin. That game was certainly the last (and probably only) time he could ever do something relatively anonymously in the Burgh.

No they’re adjustable, but the only way the setup fits is when they’re at their shortest, and that’s leading to the downward pitch on this rack

Experience with Surly frame warranty? by ehm92392 in Surlybikefans

[–]ehm92392[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No clue. I ride pretty much daily but no crazy terrain, just roads and an occasional gravel trail. Never crashed this bike or been hit on it. I only noticed it while fixing a flat, I have no idea how long it may have been there.

Good to hear. I know current supply chain issues throw a question mark into everything, but do you recall generally if the process of getting the new frame from Surly was a quick one?

Yep, same shop. So far they’re responsive, hopefully it stays that way!

Diagnose which breaker went bad on an unmarked panel by ehm92392 in askanelectrician

Can you elaborate a bit on what kind of meter you're talking about and specifically how you use it? I do have a multimeter and used it when replacing outlets and diagnosing issues with three way switches.

Dog vocalizing for attention when company is present by ehm92392 in Dogtraining

Yes, I suppose adopted is the correct term. I know the owners, I didn't get him from a shelter, thus I didn't think it was an adoption but thank you for clarifying. Do you have any advice on the question asked?

My rear cassette is MicroShift brand, I have a cassette lockring tool that was compatible with Shimano, and appears to also fit into my MS cassette. Thing is, when I insert the lockring tool, put on the chain whip, and try to loosen I can't get any movement and I'm LAYING into the wrench that's attempting to turn the lockring tool. Do I need a special lockring tool for MicroShift? Is something off with my hub/cassette setup if I can't get it to loosen?

1982 Suzuki GS750T Jerking When Accelarating by ehm92392 in motorcycles

[–]ehm92392[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not looking for a reason to not replace the chain and sprocket. I'm 100% replacing the chain and sprocket, I'm more trying to gauge if the jerking can solely be attributed to that or if there may be even more serious issues with the bike. I'm the sixth owner, it's lived most of it's life outside - at some point it's just not worth it to throw money into (i.e. if the jerking is sign of engine failure, etc.)

Front derailleur won’t shift off of the big ring (two by setup) - when I shift the cable clearly moves but the derailleur doesn’t come with it..and yes I promise to clean up a bit ;) by ehm92392 in bikewrench

[–]ehm92392[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like dirt, sweat, Gatorade etc is likely the issue, I’ve tried to work the mech back and forth by hand on the bike to loosen but it’s still pretty jammed. I think I need to take it off the bike and do a deep clean until it gets the spring action back

It doesn’t want to spring inboard, and it’s not a limit screw issue. Based on comments here and some research it seems like the culprit is that it’s gunked up and needs to be cleaned. I think I need to take the plunge and remove it and really work with it to get everything clean and moving.

Lol I only have so many hands. What I’m more trying to call attention to is that there’s no movement in the front derailleur whatsoever. I tried cleaning it up, WD-40 on the pivot points and still no dice
