1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

lately it has been bike tutorials more than anything. I didn't know bikes needed tuneups til a year ago, I grew up thinking they were supposed to be shitty.

The last bike my dad gave me was pulled out of the neighbors trash after he ran it over. I didn't know that you could adjust deraiellers and the chain to make it ride and shift nice. Crunching gears, staying in certain gears, and always having to work hard to pedal was always a given to me.


Turns out that riding a bike can be way more enjoyable if you have a decently tuned bike!

 

Ah yeah makes sense.

I didn't know they needed tune-ups until I bought my first 'real' bike some years ago from 'Epicenter Cycling', a bike shop in Santa Cruz.

When you buy a bike from them, you get free tune-ups for life.

Just take it in, and they'll clean her up, lube, and whatever little odds and ends needed.

Love their customer service.

Forgot they fitted me for free too, changing out my stem and stuff as needed.

 

I always feel sorry for the poor saps with squeaky chains I hear on the trails. I don’t miss that misery

 

Hey man my squeaky crank set is a motivational tool for helping pace myself

Last night I was drinking my Sierra Nevada Hazy's; saving the V2K for game night as no one was on yesterday.

 

It does help drown out the cussing

 

It does make thing easier then having to run inside all the time. I use an old dell monitor with a chrome cast. Timmy's on demand.

 

My buddy was telling me about this show today, I'll have to bum somebodies Apple +

You ever thought about rebuilding it? Cheaper but takes a little bit of knowledge so may not be worth it to some

 

I appreciate that he does help a lot of people and I still recommend some of his videos to beginners if there isn't an alternative. That said... lol, i blocked him. if you challenge him at all or post something contrary to his opinion he gets very hostile.


He laid into me several times for "enabling bad behavior" when I responded to a thread about helping a kid delete his muffler and that was that.



How many of us got a first car at 16, 18, 20, and changed the exhaust? They're gonna do it. And we hope they grow past it. But we gotta let them do it, especially when not breaking the law... So why not give honest answer about the what and how? Is going on a grandstand about "disrespect" and "kids these days" gonna change anything? No.

 

Oh hell yeah, found another lightbar. This time at a Habitat for Humanity sorta store.

It’s a Federal Signal Vista Strobe, looks like it came from a fire truck.

 

Wait another one? What are you using them for?
