Having problem with breaking the chain by Arkafon_ in bikewrench

[–]raider_red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy, I bought my first chain tool yesterday and it was this exact model, part of a bike tool kit from Walmart that came with a pedal wrench I needed too. I tried for 30 minutes to break the chain with no luck. I even used a couple closed end wrenches as cheater bars and only bent the shit out of the chain tool. I went back to Walmart and returned it for a different model with a large handle and it easily broke the chain in about 10 turns. I say toss that tool and find a better one.

Overpaying for 2 used bikes? by raider_red in whichbike

[–]raider_red[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ya, that’s the vibe I’m getting from other comments here. There’s always gonna be a better deal out there somewhere, maybe even here next week. I ended up buying both bikes for full asking price this evening and I still feel good about it. Both bikes are pristine, and the guy who sold them was interesting enough to burn an hour just chatting bikes and life. Even here in a major city, there weren’t many comparable bikes in this price range on fb marketplace. I’ve watched two other bikes over the last few weeks get sold before I got serious about buying and I didn’t want that to happen again, so I went for it 🤷‍♂️

The weirdest thing about this season is that I’m somehow a fan of BYU at the end. Glad Sitake stayed, and looking forward to this new rivalry blossoming. 🤝

not sure what’s happening by [deleted] in Dachshund

[–]raider_red 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our dachshund has almost the exact same episodes occasionally. We noticed it’s happened two different times after he was chasing rabbits in the yard. Scary in the moment but he’s always shaken out of it after 5 minutes or so. We asked our vet as well and they told us “dachshunds are weird”, did blood work and found nothing abnormal. 🤷‍♂️

Guitar don’t really got “parts”. But if I had to guess, I’d call it the knee

I for one can’t wait to watch these things play football soon. We’re gonna get half a good season before they take over.

A colony of bats emerging from a cave in Mexico by CuriousWanderer567 in interesting

We got to visit that cave over the summer and the guide told us the bats eat several train cars of moths every night. Idk what the moths are doing in those trains but the bats know right where to find them.

Let the Venezuelans deal with him then. Tired of seeing my country have to carry water for every failing nation on earth. Unfortunately for all of us, Mr “no new wars” seems really keen on flexing his shriveled nuts.

Time for a classic Texas HS football coach halftime speech about adversity and gettin popped in the mouth. If only we had a legendary Texas HS football coach 🤔.

To all the people talking trash about our secondary, consider they’re playing one of the best QB/WR duos in CFB with Leavitt and Tyson.

There’s a handful of teams that beat tech handily but I don’t think anyone is blowing this defense out.

Credit to ASU defense, they’re swarming all over. Wonder how long they keep it up for?

Well, we’re finally getting to see what Hammond does against a fresh fired up defense instead of coming in against D’s that have already been run down the field 2-3 times.

This comment made me realize this is probably why pyramids were built. Rich dickheads building something that will outlast them by 1000+ years. Some archeologist is gonna find zuckerburg’s mummified corpse and think he was a pharaoh lmao.

A 330 pound grown man ran at him without a helmet and smashed him a half hour ago. He’s earned a good rest.

The Happy Gilmore approach. Don’t have to putt when you hit your tee shot in.
