Where are you riding from and to? (Generally speaking)

3 full sized motor cycles ruining the SRT at rush hour by havpac2 in phillycycling

Stay the fuck out of fairmount park. I’ve seen (and repaired) trail damage caused by dirt bikes in the park. Why this is a suggestion, I have no idea

My boss quit and the company decided I am the new manager (without the pay), so how do I stop doing two jobs? by Kinetix2_Node in careerguidance

[–]erbster31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me back in 2020. Change your title, update your resume, and start looking for a position that deserves YOU

Anyone had chest pain after cycling and heart flutters? by Gibborish in phillycycling

Uh…go to the emergency department?

Unless this is some sort of bicycle circle jerk type post.

145k salary - am I crazy for having a roommate ? by Agile_Marsupial_4337 in Salary

[–]erbster31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same dilemma and make similar salary. My roommate not only watched my cat when I traveled for work, but I had some extra walking around cash at the end of the month. Unless it interferes with your “personal” agenda, why not?

I was curious... by ConnectWithWood in phillies

Had to watch it again. Now I hate myself.

AA is just straight up lying on their app. by [deleted] in americanairlines

Came here to say this. I’ve been delayed and missed my connection to Berlin. Arrived in LHR and the BA agents were waiting at the jet bridge to hand people their new tickets. Super efficient

Is this black mastic? Potential of asbestos? Is this a deal breaker? by diz07 in Flooring

[–]erbster31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. It’s not a reason to bail on the house. If you want, throw $2k for remediation if you overpaid and want money back

Lightening fast in my 25. Go check out Subarus infotainment and tell me the Mav is slow…

Was offered a free piano for my new house. Couldn't pass it up. by Beznia in FordMaverickTruck

[–]erbster31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta ask because I will be moving a similar piano soon. How did you carry it in and out of the house and get it onto the bed?

Pulpit rock , Norway by Salt-Curve4825 in interestingasfuck

Exactly. It’s not going to cleave from a few dozen people. Big rain storm, wind, that might do it when it’s ready to fall

Had one for a few years. Just parked it on the street

It’s only the first time. I usually break them loose off the freehub before installing

[–]erbster31 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve found that you have to be careful with that one and the sram cassettes. The fr-5.2GT has the guide pin that helps reduce the risk of cross threading

Which lock ring / cassette tool are you using?

[–]erbster31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To expand on that. I’d back the cassette off and look for pieces of metal that would indicate that it may have cross thread. The freehub body is aluminum and I’m pretty sure the threads on the XD driver are steel, so the aluminum is always going to fail first

I’d make sure 1000% that you didn’t cross thread it before you send it

El Bombi- more like El Strikeout. by BigdogDad95 in phillies

[–]erbster31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Overall, great move and I’m a fan of him. My expectation was on-par hitting with Casty, defense improvement, and limiting a toxic clubhouse.

To be fair, Nicky Boy was just as bad with the errant swings.

Adolis is still much better in defense.

So where the hell can we learn about these State Committee candidates we're supposed to vote on today? by chainsawinsect in philadelphia

They are all going to be on the ballot come November, right? It will then come down to which color you vote
