The stupid questions thread.

[Minlak]

So Pro Wrestling! any on else sometimes watch it? Got addicted as a child but don’t normally see it anymore - just happen to be away and the place actually has Foxtel (that in itself is a miracle these days) - but anyway the point of the question.

Wrestlers have a finishing move and as the name suggests it’s used to finish the opponent and the match. However on big match days like wrestlemania etc their big name opponents seem to be able to kick out from the finisher and continue to fight ( well fake fight) - so wouldn’t that make either the finisher actually ineffective or the people it eotks in complete wusses??

I guess it's just whatever the script calls for to keep it entertaining @Minlak

Clearly at those bigger events the athletes just dig deeper for the victory and are able to perform these astounding and super human moves/saves!




Yes @Minlak as a primary school boy I too enjoyed the world of professional wrestling.
My neighbour and I were the first (and possibly only) people to hire the emotional roller coaster that was No Holds Barred when it came out on VHS.

I do enjoy a snippet here and there of the classic fluro neon golden era for irony and nostalgia every now and then. And my whole life philosophy is based on the wisdom lessons of the macho man and ultimate warrior.

I used to love watching the WWF (When it was Vince McMahon and his family vs TripleH and the Undertaker was relatively new) and then the WCW,
WCW was a bit more intense, blokes like Sting and more cage and 'blood' from what I remember.

Stupid question because stupid here is failing to put in the right search term to find the right answers.

My lightly wounded Charger 2.1 damper is desperately overdue for an oil change, what is a cost effective substitute for the RockShox fluid?

 

[fjohn860]

Motorex 2.5w?

If it's maxima 3wt that RS spec I think

Why are bottom brackets and cranks so complicated? Oh...that's right, the ever changing standards wars. So please help me!

Frame is 142x12mm
Drive is 10 speed Shimano
BB shell is 73 BSA threaded.

Can I run this crank in non-boost without fucking myself in the face? And...are they going to hold up to being thrashed around by a muddled aged hack?

SRAM NX Eagle DUB Crankset

SRAM chart says it's okay, just want to change the chainring to 6mm offset.

Cheers. The non boost comes in 6mm offset, but they identify it as a 11/12 speed.

 

[sedifus]

Sorry I see that further down the product listing.
The chainrings are cross compatible, no issues with 10 speed chains.

I can't recall if the inner width of the chains changed but if anything 11/12 would be narrower so 10sp chain will fit an 11/12 ring, and the height of the teeth should be sufficient for chain retention.

Very good news this far. Does anyone else have anything for me to consider? These cranks aren't going to bend easy are they? I intend to air time them with moderate frequency.

From 10-sp. onward chains are progressively narrower internally. The wider 10-sp. chain will still run on the 11/12-sp. ring, but will be a slightly looser fit on the teeth, so may be a bit more prone to dropping in really lumpy stuff.

Is everyone else on here "Trail fresh"

Airport toilet sensor taps.

When are they going to offer cold/hot options as well?

Maybe I don't want lukewarm water running over my hands.

The lukewarm water is to persuade you to buy bottled water. You can thank the strategic consultants for that one.

It could be worse...you could have Johnwarm liquid on your hands.

Thoughts on what a series 1 Bronson cc would be worth? XT/XTR, Pike and DVO rebuilt etc. Overall great condition ridden only by incompetent rider.
