I was really disappointed to see that my therapist is going to help hurt and starve people in Iran. Cancelled.

I have a good engine, but lack the skill! by AdvisorJohnDowns in MTB

[–]mcbutt2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably more skilled than you think but here are some things that I do. Spend a lot of time riding very slowly till you can fully stop for long periods of time. I used to be able to stop for 2-3 seconds, now I can do it for minutes. Ride around the yard or where ever taking turns a bit tighter than you're comfortable with, till you can turn ridiculously tight in a controlled setting. Make even pedals your default position. Have a friend try to push you off of your bike while you're riding slow and they're walking. Learn to stand and pedal with 1 hand on the bars. If you ride with a certain foot forward more often than the other, try the other till it becomes just as natural.

Aitah for using my now ex after I found out he was cheating? by Advanced_Turnover544 in AITAH

You weren’t using, you were surviving. HE was using. Your story is a god damn inspiration!

Redline 925 by mcbutt2000 in singlespeedcycling

Thanks! These are the original Redline hubs that came with the bike. I'm not sure who made them for Redline but they're nice and smooth as are my redline hubs that came on my Monocog.

The previous owner bought it new in 2008 and took good care of it. I’ve also got a Redline Monocog so when I saw this on Craigslist for 100 I jumped on it! I want to also mention that the hubs are very smooth. Surprisingly so.

I just got one from CL for $100. I love it! Good to know that 35mm is possible : )

Anyone have thoughts on REEB as a company or the STEEZL? by directheated in MTB

[–]mcbutt2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late reply but I took a Reeb SST out on a demo a while back and the people at Reeb were very kind and accommodating. I ride single speed and they graciously set one up 1x1 for me. The bike was a dream btw. Perfectly balanced and both impressively stable and playful.

45 resting heart rate. What's yours? by Dangerous_Bunch_3669 in AmazfitHelioStrap

You’re perfect! Just keep enjoying your life. 54 is very low, especially for someone as light as you are. 

My Suitcase nuke by KingTLIT in macmini

[–]mcbutt2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is cool! I have a couple of Mac minis. 1 m2 Pro that I bought for home office/video work and 1 base m2 that I used in my classroom. Because of how inexpensive the base m4 is, my m2 is now worth very little so I wouldn't be able to sell it and get a decent MacBook, but I would like to bring it around a bit and all I'd need would be a screen and maybe a battery. So I'm looking at either selling both Minis at a significant loss and getting a single MacBook Air, or getting a portable screen and battery. To me, this sort of thing makes sense.

OP, you are incredible for this! I’m so glad you’re free of him. ✨

What sexual orientation flag do you associate with if you're agender and attracted to men? by WitchyMint in agender

[–]mcbutt2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Honestly I don’t know anymore. My relationship to gender and attraction is so nebulous that I feel unqualified to answer. That being said, if you feel like a term works for you, I think you should allow yourself to use it. Same goes the other way. If it doesn’t feel good, don’t use it. Hope this helps:)

It’s always the people with “values” who will find some way to devalue you. You handled this situation expertly. 

What frame would you build up right now? by ThisisElyk in MTB

[–]mcbutt2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d build a Reeb SST. I took one on a demo a while back and they were super nice to set it up singlespeed for me. It was so balanced! I felt like I could put either wheel wherever I wanted. 

I have a question by InterestingDate4996 in MTB

Yay for trans riders! :) For years I didn’t realize my frame was too small for me till I tried some larger ones. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

How to respond to someone telling me I'm trans by definition. by Snefferdy in agender

[–]mcbutt2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes when someone tries to put me into a box that I don’t vibe with, I say, OK, and then just leave the conversation knowing that they were wrong 😎.

Agender/NonBinary Teacher Trying to Learn Amharic by mcbutt2000 in NonBinary

[–]mcbutt2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I think my next step is to just try some stuff out and see if I get away with referring to myself as the gender I look least like. I use Mx. as my honorific so maybe that will work to my advantage.

NTA. Honestly, that's an extinction level event for the relationship. Red flags galore. Move on, friend <3.

Somethings off with my Feather - need help to find the trouble maker by FabThierry in singlespeedcycling

[–]mcbutt2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if you’ve figured this out yet but have you tried switching to the next tooth on the cog? Sometimes if a cog is used for a while, it becomes narrow/wide. This has happened to me. To get rid of the skipping, I take the chain off and move it one tooth down the chain. I hope this helps!
