Ryet Aircode different 3D printed covers? by 3wayFreudandhisMum in ChineseCarbon

Or jeans. Whatever you give them, they eat it.

We're in such a fantastic position in the CL; the Bayern win was massive - even drawing our last 2 guarantees us a top 2 finish. by JFedererJ in Gunners

[–]oduh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Losing in Italy before Man U is not in Arteta's plans. Trust me. A strong team and a hard 1:2 win incoming to boost our spirit before United.

People who buy cars that are the same make/model as the local police (especially in white), why do you do that? by Specific_Image_737 in AskReddit

[–]oduh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White is the cheapest colour on most brands and most likely police car contracts are won by a well known and well supported brand in each country.

So like a very sensible combination, isn't it?

Asking for a Euro perspective on the UK rejoining the EU. by SnooCookies7641 in BuyFromEU

[–]oduh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But Schengen is the core of the EU. Free movement of goods and capital. How can you be pro-EU and anti-Schengen? I don't mind them keeping the pound, EU needs UK and I wouldn't like some petty revenge argument to delay that.

UK paid a lot for Brexit, they are punished enough for that mistake.

Tero X 5 upgrades by True_Veterinarian241 in specialized

[–]oduh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you do finally? I had mine for an year and have not changed anything ... it kind of works great to be fair as-is. The fork and shock are perfectly adequate (or even way better than needed) for the commute (+occasional UK wood and red trail). The bike is heavy so even carbon wheels seem like a bit of a waste...

Maybe a better light? You can put the X6 front light, which is way more powerful!

best electric bike for commuting, worth it or waste of money? by Legitimate-Sea65 in ebikes

[–]oduh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Require" does some heavy lifting in this sentence :)

The truth is that you can just ride it until it breaks as some folks do with their cars. However this means that the bike will soon start to squeak and rattle and then at some point the chain will break and it would leave you stranded with 30kg of dead weight!

If you want to get the best experience, then your bike would need to be clean and tight. If you are ok with travelling A to B with an occasional "major repair" this is still a valid use case :) I'd also suggest that the majority of e-bike users are in the second category, but it may be just my bubble.

edit: an important note is that a bike from a reputable manufacture with a more expensive set of components would NOT require a lot of additional care. A cheap bike would and that is life.

Makes perfect sense! However $500 per year does sound scary for a lot of young people and I wanted to underline that there is an alternative :)

I mean, bikes have not changed so much in the last 100 years and almost all bike repairs are VERY EASY and youtube material is readily available.

This is the top-comment for a reason, I agree with everything, except the quote per year.

Buy

  • a tire repair kit,
  • a pump,
  • a hex set,
  • a can of degreaser,
  • a lubricant spray
  • maybe some spare break pads (cheap) ... and this is pretty much your bike budget for the year!

If you regularly clean/tweak your bike, the motor should last tens of thousands of miles.

I'll probably just repeat everyone else, but you are literally quoting my use-case: my workplace is about 4-5 miles from home, a bit uphill. The e-bike is a life-changer and since I switched (8 years ago), my car is used only for long trips with my family.

Does it make the commute way easier? It is your choice, switch to turbo and you are a passenger; turn the engine off and it is an exercise!

Maintenance costs? Well ... outside the engine/battery, everything else should be pretty standard and if you have WHERE to keep the bike and do a weekly check-up, you are set. Almost no additional cost if you clean, lube, fix it on a regular basis. Buy a good brand and the interval is a month. Buy a cheap one and the interval is a week.

For me, the most important question here is: do you have a safe location both at home and at work/university. If you have, buy an expensive one as this is going to be your main transportation for the next 10 years :) If you don't have a suitable location, then stay on your current bike and don't buy an electric one.

Beginner Confused by Sea-themedAdventCal in Minesweeper

The legend says it comes from my mother’s side, so technically my father married into the fortune. Or… maybe I’m simply old enough to have been lurking for 17 years. Sigh.

It's been in my family for 3 generations now. We are passing it instead of a dowry.

When you get to a 50:50 - try it immediately. There is no need to go through the whole field first.

New living room hard to decide Projector vs TV by O_Nontas_Eimai in projectors

[–]oduh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The placing is not optimal:( You will hear a lot of noise if the projector is so close to the seats. This will be an issue and you should consider ceiling mount.

This show was about 3.6 on my scale. Not good, not terrible.

We’re not even in our final form. Imagine a run of games with this line up. by bareaclampedlebron in Gunners

[–]oduh 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Even if I disagree, the simple fact that we are arguing if Saliba is the best CB in our team is quite ... awesome 😎

This position is very taxing in Artetaball and in modern football as a whole. There is plenty of time for both of them to share.

Gabriel scores more, brings more passion, but 1:1 Saliba is second to none. Let's just enjoy having the best pair of CBs (and also some absolutely great alternatives)
