Little Things You Hate

[moorey]

Driving to Mt Beauty hoping I’d find a lonely soul to share some shuttle driving with and get a couple of runs in.
Nope.
Oh well, Quinn got to see the tracks before racing, and Felix got to familiarise himself with the ENR, so not a total loss.

 

[Ultra Lord]

Hmmm....can anyone else see the problem here?

How good is it knocking off at 3:30?

And if you do work longer, penalty rates! No trouble on double, I’ll stay as long as you want.

Urgent midnight breakdown at an apartment complex? Time to bust out the grinder, because “reasons”. Ahahaha sometimes I love my job.

Yeah, I go to bed at 2am but either way there is no need to start at 7am especially with all the juvenile carry on that seems to be common place on most sites.

It isn’t their fault you go to bed at 2.

 

[Haakon]

It isn’t their fault you go to bed at 2.

But it is their fault they’re inconsiderate pricks making anyone not keeping their hours lose sleep…

203mm rotors but 200mm fork mount
Honestly people

You know they only do it because they know you are next door right.

Well…you can’t make 203 mounts when some fools run 200. Do you even standard?

Lady over the road is renovating an old cottage ( think late 1800’s ) , I don’t mind the banging and what not .
It’s her teenage kids calling

“ mum , muuummm , muuuummmmm , where is my whatever “

Ah you just reminded me of one of my all-time favourite pieces of standup comedy:

What even goes through someone’s mind to make a 203mm rotor as standard? It’s not even an imperial conversion. And then you need to get 1.5mm spacers. So dumb.

My fork mount is 203 and I wanted to run 220 rotors so I had to find a +17 adaptor FFS

I reckon 203 was around before 200. At least as I recall.

Pfft. Just use 17 0.5mm washers on each mount. That’ll learn ya.

It is actually. 8" is 203.2mm. 180 & 160mm are both further from their suggested imperial conversions.

 

[moorey]

Correct. Though 180 is close enough to 7” to barely matter. 160 is a nothing burger though. Only of use on kids bikes.

Hence why avid brought out the 185...

Really? 7,25”?
Why the 165? Or the 170?

Modern cars that are hooked up to the Internet for all their navigation systems et cetera, but don’t automatically update their clocks for daylight savings.

Shimano: 160mm is a good rotor size
Magura: Agree
TRP: Agree
SRAM: Agree
Hope: Agree


Shimano: How about 180mm now, guys?
Magura: Agree
TRP: Agree
SRAM: Agree
Hope: Agree


Shimano: 203mm seems reasonable
Magura: Agree
TRP: Agree
SRAM: Fuck off, we were doing 20mm incriments. 200mm, idiots
Hope: Well said, SRAM
TRP: Fuck it, we’ll do 203mm and 200mm


TRP: 223mm. Hahahahahahaha, suckers! We make the biggest rotor.

My car has a super old navigation system that doesn't have certain things in it like roads built since 2010. So when those get used it totally wigs out and suddenly on the screen you're in a flying space car and every time you go near an overpass it starts shrieking nonsensical babble about needing to do a u turn in the next 10kms or something.

It was fun for the first hour but now it gets switched off.
