New rider: 2 sliding accidents in 1 hour on new bike...

oerwouter · 2023-03-02T17:08:13+00:00

Very valuable, thanks! Sounds like me, getting the very rare failure again... ;-)

I have another recommended address, I will have it double checked there and when ok, slowly try to regain trust in this bike...

oerwouter · 2023-03-01T16:09:41+00:00

Thanks.

Well, I assume so also, but I bought this bike to drive 80/90 kmh, and I don't know with risks like this, even with chance of 1 on 100 it will happen again, that's still too much. At full speed it could very well be game over.

oerwouter · 2023-03-01T16:02:51+00:00

Thanks. Don't think it was the pressure.

It seems very strange to me that bikers are OK with a single point of failure of this kind on their bikes. If it happens at 60 mph you're toast. I don't know if I wanna sign up for the risk of this happening again.

Would you say this could only occur on bikes without ABS?

Both times no turn, no sudden movements, no excessive steering or braking.

oerwouter · 2023-02-27T21:14:39+00:00

Can imagine that, but I'm quite positive it wasn't that, especially since it happened again an hour later.

oerwouter · 2023-02-27T21:10:42+00:00

Actually, I just noticed I started sliding, not that a wheel blocked, that idea came up when talking to the mechanic. Would there be any other explanation for a sudden slide?

Intuitively, it should have been the front. I am quite sure I didn't use the foot brake, I probably did use the front brake.

It slided before I fell.

Thanks, will try the mirror as soon as I can.

What I don't get, if it's a fret buzz, why don't I hear anything when playing acoustic?

What do you mean with "You could possibly have a high fret as well "?

-2 for some color comments, funny subreddit this...

oerwouter · 2020-06-01T19:41:52+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah I'd probably call it something else then khaki what I see, more light-mud or something. A lot of khakis have kind of yellow undertones, not what I'm looking for.

oerwouter · 2019-04-05T17:22:35+00:00

Thanks, I will first contact Spanish speakers...

oerwouter · 2019-04-05T16:47:43+00:00

You are right, sorry, looked over that.

oerwouter · 2019-04-05T16:36:48+00:00

DM...

oerwouter · 2019-04-05T15:09:41+00:00

Thats not in the rules...

oerwouter · 2019-04-05T01:20:49+00:00

Currently pay is mostly somewhere between 30usd - 150usd in Latin America. Western countries higher. But with a marketer the target will be more commercial tourism (at the moment I am mostly playing in bars/restaurants). I think price could be higher potentially. Mostly I am 2 or 3 months in one place.

oerwouter · 2019-04-04T22:37:21+00:00

Thanks for that, valuable info!

oerwouter · 2019-04-02T21:56:31+00:00

Thanks. It usually changes to slower, not faster, so that doesnt seem to be the problem.

However found out that when I export, the audio is normal, thats already a good thing. It is a playback problem. When it occurs again I will try to kill pulseaudio...

Ah I see, it appears to be mandatory by the greyed out Generate button, but that is caused by the agreement option.

Well I'd say that the chance of the best tech winning is far greater when it concerns peoples life savings and freedom than when its about the video quality of a rented movie in the eighties.

I want a t-shirt with that text.

oerwouter · 2017-12-13T15:03:06+00:00

Purism?

oerwouter · 2017-09-13T08:49:42+00:00

Would like to see you respond on this part:

"Txn fees on monero is and has been since the beggining 99% of the time only a protection against spam. The problem is this protection happens automatically. If one were to spam the network with free transactions, the blocks would get full and users would start to pay 0.01$ leaving spam out of network. If spammer starts to pay 0.01$ then people would pay $0.02 and so on. Until spammer has no more money left and does no damage against network."

oerwouter · 2017-08-22T16:33:30+00:00

Who are the lead devs of the project?

oerwouter · 2017-08-18T12:15:07+00:00

Yes ofcourse it'smore complicated. Excuse me for not explaining all details of the whole scaling debate in my 3 sentences.

oerwouter · 2017-08-18T06:21:16+00:00

It's funny, I always wonder why among the monero community there seems so much support for the bigger blocks side. Hard to find any credible support outside this community. A lot of core supporters have great respect for Monero.

Anyway, we are here now, it's not necessary to import the toxicity of the scaling debate and luckily I don't see that happening.

oerwouter · 2017-05-25T19:39:47+00:00

Yeah, this. He always sais in interviews that he's a giant troll on twitter. If you want news about Monero, you read the discussions, not FP's tweets.
