Why not just link to the original berm peak video?

[–] over_clox 1 points 3 days ago

Because I didn't see that video first, I saw this one first. Whatever, makes no difference to me.

Lol, why not just post Berm Peak than a content vulture

Okey dokey. Bitch bitch why don't ya, I posted the link a friend on Discord shared with me, as if I somehow knew of the link you posted beforehand.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well sorry you took offended to that, the video is literally about the berm peak video so i thought i'll share the original vid.

[–] over_clox -5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Okay, no worries. If I had seen that video first, I would have probably posted that link instead. But I didn't, so I'm leaving the original link I posted.

No biggie 🤷‍♂️

I would just edit it in it's one of the cool things that makes lemmy function better than reddit

[–] over_clox 1 points 2 days ago

I don't take orders from others. I saw this video clip before the other one, as sent to me by a friend. So that's what I posted. I'm not in the habit of changing the original link I posted, especially after others have seen it already.

That's like bait and switch bullshit to change a link after posting. If you'd like to post your suggested link, by all means go ahead.

Unless lighter and stronger materials can be mass produced (I heard a few days ago chinese scientists managed to find a way to produce steel cutting 90% of carbon, and like 2-3 years ago about lighter steel from Taiwan and/or MIT) I just can't imagine any serious breaking innovation in bicycle manufacturing. All this "revolutionary" bicycles seem to always go to shit because, well, they all are shit.

They had bicycles made from 4130 chromoly aircraft steel back in 1974. Half the weight of plain steel and twice as strong. I actually own one made in 1981.

Just like carbon fiber is supposed to be the way of the future, we all saw what happened with that submarine ☹️💀

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You don't ride carbon fiber bikes because some idiot ignored the rules for building submarines?

[–] over_clox 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No, I don't ride carbon fiber bikes because I ride BMX flatland and don't want to die while performing tricks. Why would I knowingly ride on a brittle frame, knowing the stresses my style of riding put on a bike?

[–] m4m4m4m4 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's precisely why I wrote "lighter and stronger".

[–] over_clox 1 points 6 days ago

Carbon fiber clearly is not stronger. 1974 metals are stronger, why deviate from proven materials?
