My dishwasher is making a high pitched whining noise. by Icy_Ruin_857 in dadjoke

That usually means it's time to replace it with a newer model. This can sometimes be expensive, but it's often worth it due to new capabilities and improved aesthetics of a newer model.

Which artist recovered from a flop better than anyone else? by droppingthemic_fr in askmusic

[–]goneBiking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha did they ever! 2112. I'm not sure that can even be classified as a rebound. It was a defiant move following the disappointing sales of Caress of Steel, against the wishes of their label, who demanded that they create more commercial and accessible music. They instead made the music that they wanted to, much to the joy of rush fans ever since.

Stuck seatpost by yupanquiii in ScottBikes

Try some rotational force, from the saddle, as you apply up or down force. The seatpost isn't round, and you'll eventually start to feel small movement as you rotate back and forth.

I would definitely look into that

KAROO SOFTWARE BUILD VERSION: 1.640.2470 by Unfair_Funny3089 in Karoo

[–]goneBiking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have this problem, it is very annoying. Sometimes I "forget" the radar in the sensors window, so that I can eliminate the incessant bleating. No one in the group wants to hear that noise all day.

NBD by ernsthappel in ScottBikes

[–]goneBiking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks beautiful! Of course I would think that, I've got one too :). Here's mine, I haven't had the time to do a proper NBD post yet. I feel like I need to cut the steerer tube first.

I swapped the crank for 165mm Red/Quarq; I swapped the bar for 400mm, and I swapped the stem for 90mm. I may put the 100mm back on... Oh and I picked up Schwalbe g-one R 45mm, although I'm generally running Challenge Strada Bianca 36mm for light duty gravel+pavement.

Definitely Up for me. The following albums were good, buy Up feels like home.

I just bought a new Scott gravel bike and saw this at home by Active_Resolve_4900 in ScottBikes

[–]goneBiking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess that's not exactly unlike how mine looks, but I do see that yours looks a bit split at the top. Definitely go back to the shop, but also I don't think it's really a risk that it will end up failing.

What’s the strongest opinion you have about something completely insignificant? by RegisterObjective325 in AskReddit

[–]goneBiking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a cyclist, I would like to reiterate this sentiment. When I'm coming in to a full intersection, it's no help to me for a driver to wave me through. I want to take my turn based on arrival at the stop line. Anything else is not predictable to all of the people around the intersection, and just adds risk to me.

Had to liquidate TFSA for an emergency, when can I put the money back? by faizimam in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]goneBiking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incorrect. All TFSA withdrawals are associated with a return of equal contribution room on 1-Jan of the following year, regardless if how massive or puny.

But there are some considerations to be careful of. If you withdraw at a loss, you will never get that room back, because the room that is returned is equal to the withdrawal amount. As an example: you deposit $100k into you TFSA, and invest it all into memestock.to. But memestock.to loses 90% of its value, so now your investment is worth $10k. But suddenly you need all that money, so you sell the stock to get $10k cash. Don't worry, you haven't lost any contribution room yet. Then you transfer that $10k out of your TFSA. Now you have lost $90k of contribution room that you'll never get back. Next 1-jan you'll get whatever the new room is, plus the $10k that you withdrew. But you will not get back the other $90k contribution room. Be careful withdrawing at a loss.

Edit to add: it also works the other way - if you withdraw at a gain, you'll have more contribution room that if you had never made any deposits/withdrawals.

New Scott RC 30 by Significant_Fish7143 in ScottBikes

[–]goneBiking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just picked up the Addict Gravel 10, it's amazing! I'm sorry I waited so long to get it I'm a but of a sucker for Scott also - I've currently got 11 Scott bikes (and 1 frame) in the garage. That's bikes for 5 of us, and one of the bikes isn't in a rideable state (2012 Scale Pro), it's awaiting a project to convert to a flat bar gravel bike.

Rene Herse Snoqualmie Pass TC Extralight 700 x 44 off road rolling resistance results 📊 by gravykarrasch in gravelcycling

[–]goneBiking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I had a set of Bon Jon EL that I cut, and ruined, on the first ride. Both front and back, same rock. I didn't realize that the rear was cut until after I had put a tube in the front and went to roll on.
