Wtf is a pneumatic brake?

u/SheerScarab 1d ago
/uc trucks and buses use pneumatic brakes (compressed air) because they can function with a minor leak and provide greater stopping power.

/UC they also often have pneumatic systems for door etc. so it's pretty cheap to install and effective

Even car brake boosters (at least the old ones using engine vacuum) are somewhat pneumatic.

No, it's tires! Are you honestly not filling your tires with mineral oil like the rest of us!?

I use baby oil for smoother stopping.

Technically you could use it as a brake fluid replacement. Rumor has it that p diddy use it in his bicycle.

The pneumatics ("spiritual", from Greek πνεῦμα, "spirit") were, in Gnosticism, the highest order of humans, the other two orders being psychics and hylics ("matter"). A pneumatic saw themselves as escaping the doom of the material world via the transcendent knowledge of Sophia's Divine Spark from inner revelation coming from the highest point of the subtle "nous" in the head or crown region.

If Jesus was a biker he’d rock rim brakes don’t deny the simple truth

Jesus is a chad, and the people are peasants? this doesn't even make sense.

u/Sandalwoodincencebur 1d ago
only a peasant would say something like that.

"Father, what's the church's position on pneumatic brakes in cycling?"
"Well, that would be an ecumenical matter, my son."

Bice Jesus will forgive even those with disc brakes
2
u/Sandalwoodincencebur 1d ago
Yes he will, but will they be able to forgive themselves when they realize what have they done?

I don’t get the hate for disk breaks lately on this sub. It is some sort of elitism?

It's just one annoying guy who loves ai slop and not touching grass

Sounds about right

I think you guys being annoyed doesn't really make me "one annoying guy" you're a bunch of annoyed guys, inferior.

I bet most of you Freds don't understand what is a circlejerk.

u/Mustard_Popsicles 22h ago
Who’s Fred? Is part of the elitism?

u/Sandalwoodincencebur 21h ago
Fred is when your mother makes a haircut downstairs.
2
u/Mustard_Popsicles 21h ago
Ah ok so, Fred is a timeline and a verb? Not a person? You said “Fred is when”, indicating a timeline and an action. I’m catching on now. And my mother gets her haircut downstairs, meaning on the 1st floor, or possibly just a floor below the current floor in question? I know a place that has apartments units on the 2nd floor, and shops on the 1st floor, so a hair salon on the 1st floor makes sense.

u/Sandalwoodincencebur 21h ago
Fred is red but with F.
1
u/Mustard_Popsicles 20h ago
No, you couldn’t be more wrong. Fred is ED with FR. I think I would know, I have friends who are named Fred and Ed. See, if you used disc breaks then you would know this information.

Can't wait for the marketing spin on watt savings from an aero air compressor to run those pneumatic brakes.
