OCD is a terrible thing......

[asterix]

Some don't use valve caps at all, I think that's a 'I'm hard me' type of thing, you know like not wearing a coat when it's cold.

It's like hire cars. I realised why they don't have valve caps when it occurred to me that it saves a lot of time when checking all the tyre pressures. These guys are also in a hurry.

It's a Velominati 'rule'.

Rule #60
// Ditch the washer-nut and valve-stem cap.
You are not, under any circumstances, to employ the use of the washer-nut and valve-stem cap that come with your inner-tubes or tubulars. They are only supplied to meet shipping regulations. They are useless when it comes to tubes and tires.

matching valve caps. An absolute must.

Blue or Yellow only...

Excuse me! It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, It's OCD, to be correct.

That's just how it is.

Goes off to wash hand's for the 10th time this morning after polishing the bike for the 5th time in 2 days.

Whoah. Hadn't thought about hub logo alignment.

Amateur!

The big test is will you have to go back and rebuild your wheels now you know?

 

[fossyant]

Nope. Maybe on the next build.

 

[dellzeqq]

This is boll*x....does the wheel go round? Yes, then that's all you need.

don't you come in here all well-adjusted and content with life!!!!!!!!!1

The odd thing is that despite my condition I still have no qualms about not keeping the bikes clean. The hybrid hasn't been cleaned in around 18 months apart from a quick blast from the garden hose after a gritty, wet trip on the TPT.

 

[smokeysmoo]

I still only thought about it for a few minutes.

A few minutes, A FEW MINUTES, in that case you Sir are an OCD amateur

Doesn't matter - he won't be by the time he leaves!

hands, not hand's


Apostrophe OCD...

 

[Arch]

OCD or pedantry, Arch?

(or just good grammar?)

Ah, there's the thing. OCD if you sympathise, pedantry if you don't care and don't like being caught out!
