Little Things You Hate

[pink poodle]

Shiiiiiitt! Not again Poods, was it the newest rig.

EDIT - Just saw your other post. Bastards!

I would be so bummed if it was the nuke proof! I haven't had a chance to ride that off road yet.

I'm in the middle of working 14 days straight, a lot of big evens on, plenty worn out, bare mm away from quitting one of my jobs yesterday (put the keys in my bosses hand and was ready to walk), and really don't need the hassle that goes with a stolen bike.

And my fucking house still hasn't been repaired from the burst water pipe almost 12 months ago! I've been fisted there pretty hard by the insurance company I might add.

I like these nice and easy plus external routing, now to find one that I can clip from brake line to flat wire cable on the dynamo and I’ll be happy.

There's even tidier options, but overpriced for the ones I like, and haven't tried the Ali ones yet.

I wrap a little bit of black electrical tape around cables running parallel. I used to use those above sometimes, but soured on them. Never cable ties though.

These look worth a shot.

I used heat shrink on the gravel bike (Di2 cable and brake hose) and use cable wrap on the MTB due to the need to replace cable outers periodically https://www.jaycar.com.au/12mm-black-spiral-binding-1-5m/p/HP1222

Postage is a bit more on those ones, but getting a few would even that out.

the naughty transformers logo. Decepticons were primarily anything but cars (with a few exceptions).

 

[Squidfayce]

another thing i hate is going to clean the gutters only to find my ladder is lust a little too short and makes the job ultra dangerous. I also hate that none of my tradie neighbours own a ladder.

Ahhhhh! There is more than meets the eye.




LTIH: ringing insurance providers. I was too tired to do it at 4am, so am now in the endless cycle of please hold. Please hold. Thank you for holding. I am important...

So you're totally fine with them on fighter jets and construction equipment then?

One exception: a few years ago there was a full wood & brogues retiree spec Rover 75 getting around Adelaide with Decepticon badges on it, which seemed so incongruous / stupid that I liked it.

But yeah putting them on your R33 is lame.

The Dinobots were allied with the Autobots.
