OCD is a terrible thing......

[roadrash]

Do dyslexics suffer from COD?

i am a dyslexic atheist insomniac .............i lie awake at night wondering if there is a dog

I found an online test to see if I had OCD. I took it and it turned out I didn't. I got the same result the other 276 times I took the test too.

Snagging buildings for faults that the builder has to correct before handing over to the client can raise issues....

I would say most faults come about especially on one off builds is because the plans are not right

It's called balance!

Obsessive perfection with passive scruffiness. You could say I am a well rounded individual?

 

[fossyant]

Our sub cons hate it when I go snagging . the consulktants (sic) and clients love it . especially the paperwork side.

this is the key box for a small HV panel in work. all fobs same way - if i was OCD then thge keys would be too

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.

OMG!!! @ianrauk tell him to stop!!!

I'll tell you a secret (The bike works just as well when it's dirty!)

I have created a monster!

Last night my oldest (10yr old) son and I were swapping the tyres on his 'new' (just finishing building from used bits) bike when he asked me to make sure the tyre logos were lined up with the rim stickers

I didn't think I had ever mentioned it to him but I obviously have at some point. I then proceeded to tell him how the rim sticker is usually directly opposite the valve and the midpoint of the sticker should be at the rim joint (either a weld mark or pressed joint). We discussed this and together decided that the 'S' of Panaracer Smoke should be lined up with the joint on both wheels for the best results.

It was one of those special father-son moments that I will look back on fondly in years to come.......

I do hope that on mounting your bike the logos on each wheel are at the same point of revolution?

And whilst riding you stop at frequent regular frequent intervals to ensure that the wheels are still aligned and if they are not then line them up again? Due to uneven tyre wear this is a likely problem and to minimise it the tyres should be swapped between wheels before each ride.

During audaxes and sportives I do check other riders bikes to ensure conformity and frequently have to point out that their wheels are out of sync. They usually laugh nervously and comply with my request although oddly I rarely see them again after that.

Just for you Marshmellow.....

There's S/S spokes and shiny chrome nipples in there somewhere! I had to go and wash my hands after taking these pictures.

I can do 'clean' when I want to, this is my 19yr old MTB....
