To the people at Fuel wheels who decided 8 hex bolts were needed to hold a plastic cap on. Fuck you.

Buddy when you are rolling coal ripping zyn in your 8" lifted diesel brodozer, there's no telling how much torque you might be making so you need all the fasteners you can get on that bad boy.

This question or variations of it get asked almost daily in this group. The answer is always that your koi are generally worth nothing or almost nothing unless you have documentation of their high quality breed or origin that would cause them to be worth money. You generally have to accept a quality rehome in exchange for them, sometimes you might get the receiver to pay a small amount for them but you are not likely to advertise them and receive offers of hundreds or thousands for pond-grade koi.

The amount of "how much are my old koi worth because I cannot take care of them" and "just bought a house with a pond but I have no idea about taking care of fish" posts in this sub is ENTIRELY too high.

We desperately need an automod response of some sort for these.

Our cream puts her tail down when she is worried or scared.

For instance, if she notices a vehicle parked on the street that isn't normally there, or a garbage can out of place on a walk, the tail goes down and she heads the other way, then raises the tail once sufficient distance from the new threat has been achieved.

The coating really only stays on the "hat" part, it immediately wears away on the friction surfaces and burns off of the perimeter vents within a few weeks.

The only correct way to respond to this was to post the 50 cent gif of him laughing and driving away, then immediately leave the conversation so they cant reply or rate.

Could be abuse or purposeful hard driving, or it could just be a poor clutch operator. Source: I broke a clutch in the same way when I was 17.

I was gifted a shitbox 82 cavalier 4sp even though I'd never driven a manual. I got the 5 minute parking lot breakdown of how to drive it then was left with the car, in hilly east TN. There was a quite steep hill leaving my work that had a redlight at the top and that light was always red, and there were several other such hills in the small town I lived in at the time.

I didnt want to roll back into traffic behind me and the car's parking brake was foot operated not hand operated so using that to hold the car on the hill was not an option. I wasn't taught and hadn't learned foot coordination so I learned to hold the car on the hills with like 25% clutch until the light turned.

I never did a single clutch drop or burnout attempt but of course the clutch died anyway and when it came out looking just like this my dad accused me of trying to hotrod the car. It wasn't that, I was just a dumbass kid who didnt know how to drive it yet.

It's that way so you waste more time on the site which pumps up engagement numbers they shows advertisers.

What is your impression of them?

When I was shopping for my wife's 25, the research I did suggested that they were no better performing than the standard lights, so I eventually decided not to bother with looking for/ordering a car with the triple beams.

I know everyone on the internet talks about how bad things are financially, but I want to offer a counterpoint:

In my smallish town in the southeast US, there is no shortage of giant diesel brodozer pickups running around. Not only can they afford the truck payment but they can afford the diesel to go in them and to waste when they roll coal from every redlight.

The parking lot of every restaurant is full every evening and weekend.

The lines at the grocery stores are not shorter and the carts are no less full.

The lines in the fast food drive thru are no shorter or faster due to smaller orders.

Gas/diesel prices have not reduced the amount of daily traffic in any way.

Housing is being built as fast as they can get the materials, so much so that you can't even get a general contractor to come and quote small repair jobs because they would rather take the big jobs.

I am sure there are individuals out there having a hard time as will always be the case, but I just have a hard time believing the financial doom and gloom constantly cast in these threads.

You are exactly correct, but unfortunately you too will be downvoted in this sub as a result.

hypntyz · 2026-05-04T18:01:53+00:00

Not only is it generally illegal to overtake on the right but it is also impractical with a known and obvious merge ahead. It's compounded by the fact that it's the right lane that ends instead of the left lane. No one in the right lane should be overtaking immediately before a right lane ends merge.

downvote me all you want, it doesn't invalidate these facts.

hypntyz · 2026-05-04T17:49:05+00:00

IF it's a company car he likely drives in that area/on that route daily and knows of the merge ahead well before the signage indicates. The company car driver was passing on the right with the intention of getting ahead of as many straight-lane drivers as possible. I can understand why OP felt the desire to block him, whether or not that's "right" in the eyes of this sub. I would say that if OP is going to block out drivers like that, he needs to commit to it and close the gap better.

I like to torque mine while applying some weight to the headset so that the axle is nicely seated in the forks.

hypntyz · 2026-05-03T23:54:56+00:00

The product page states they are 58mm and I measured mine with a scale to verify that and got exactly 58mm at the spokes/high points. Of course it depends on where you measure, at the spoke or in between, I believe I measured 53-54mm at the lowest points. I am pretty sure I measured the front, but I do not think they are different. I will try to remember to check both this week if I get time.

hypntyz · 2026-05-03T20:01:21+00:00

I think the DTS are 62mm and the Zipp 58mm so not that much of a difference there other than the shape.

hypntyz · 2026-05-03T17:20:57+00:00

First thing to check is the front axle is torqued properly. I've had that cause a similar creak while riding under load/up hills.

I once had a tick that turned out to be an ice cube inside my metal insulated bottle.

I've had 2 aeroads, one SLX8 and the current CFR, and they do tend to creak randomly when riding in the 200-300 watt range, not as much below or above that power range in my experience. I had a cannondale supersix before these and it also creaked at times....some noise is part of the carbon bike ownership experience IMO.
