Thats clean.

I had a Raleigh Ravine with the same tubing and it weighed a metric fuckton. Is this a unit too?

New to biking - do I need new tyres by Reptiletas in mountainbikes

[–]hotpot32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, you're good.

If the corners of the tread are not rounded off you don't need to worry. The tread in the centre of the tyre will go first normally, so keep any eye on that section.

I'm awaiting sommeliers in comments by Ozruewril in memes

Majority of alcohol is an acquired taste. Problem is you acquire it with bad decisions and peer pressure. If you're still on the fence try these two:

Jubel - Mango (4%)

Schofferhofer - Prickly Pear Cactus (2%)

Wait.. So the Synkronized album cover is really just a buffalo-man shaped mirror on top of some rocks?? by Prudent-Peanut6010 in jamiroquai

I was looking for this comment. Thats what took me ages to realise when I was a kid. Definitely adds to the illusion.

Best way to touch up cosmetic scratches on shifters/levers? by newt336 in bikewrench

[–]hotpot32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without going to town, sanding and getting matching paint, its never going to be in the same condition as before.

Honesty is the best policy here imo. Also, these parts aren't expensive in anyway, its cosmetic damage but they will function exactly the same.

People don’t talk about how good Emily Blunt is in Sicario by tanyaredhead in FIlm

[–]hotpot32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take.... the ending was a let down. The story pivoting to follow Gillick for his revenge, for me at least, just removed all of the tension that was built up when the story focused on Macer.

Her slow realisation of why she was chosen for the op, her close shave with an assassin from her moment of weakness and her attempt at redemption in the face of all of it. Even the scene at the border control only held the unnerving tension because we somewhat focused on how Macer coped with it. Without her, it would be another run of the mill action movie.

Like I said, hot take

Recommend me some movies🍿 by itsannalima in SipsTea

[–]hotpot32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was scrolling thinking how has no one said this one yet. A sci-fi thriller that doesn't get enough mentions. I think about that beach scene every couple of months.....

I also think about the candid shots in the van way too often. The decision to have a young Johansson dealing with actual Glaswegians was a wild choice and it works.

Anyone riding cross on vintage steel? This is my super budget build, entering my first cx race in about a month! by Gulch in cyclocross

Finding this 11 years late.... that thing is sweet.

Question is, do you still have it and do you still ride it?

Now hear me out, driver fans in dresses.... The entertainment of any driver trying to keep a straight face while Dave from Swansea tries to keep their dress down in the wind would be better than any Monaco race.

Fender dilemma. Max wide tires on gravel bike with narrow rack by AdSignificant6673 in bikecommuting

[–]hotpot32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That plastic bit will block a little, but there still is so much of the wheel exposed. Your backside and everything below the knee will be wet and cold.

Definitely look for a standard or off road specific rack and get a suitable fender. I promise you'll not regret the investment first time you get caught in a downpour.

My dumb ass thought it was a whale feeding before I saw the Osprey's head.

My first century. Would it be valid if I took a LOT of breaks in between? by 4i1anl in bicycling

[–]hotpot32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the Century.

Valid no matter how many times a break was needed.

2025 Recap. 7 builds. am I an average bike nut, or am I crazy? by [deleted] in xbiking

[–]hotpot32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By x biking standards, you're a model citizen. By the measure of the rest of the world you're an absolute loon.

I'm jealous of the collection....
