OCD

Throttle grip pisses me off. My tires have to be at like 80 psi otherwise they feel like shit. Stem has to be straight, chain can't be hitting my frame, etc etc.

What is throttle grips? And my psi needs to be at the suggested. If lower, it won't really do. And I love going up to like 115 or 120 PSI when my FAF is for 110 of course. xD

Funny because I just got done watching a video on Andrew Reynold's OCD. (skater)

Bars need to be almost vertical, tires have to be around 65 psi, chain has to be tight, and the color scheme can't be majorly fucked. 3 colors at most.

Dude this has nothing to do with OCD. This is just normal shit. People that don't worry about these things are neglecting. lol

My faceplate also has to be like even top and bottom. I've always ran a frontload stem, and I wanna try a topload.

... the only thing that really bugs me is if my stem isnt perfectly lined up with my tire... but only after i loosen it forsome reason if it moves just from riding it doesnt bug me... idk its hard to explain

That's ridiculous. How can you have OCD about identical tubes when your wheels don't even match.

haha i was gonna ask the same thing

and throttle grip is when the grips become loose and slip around.

I try not to give a fuck because thats dumb, I just like to ride my bike
When it becomes almost unridable(stem moved too much, chain got way too loose, wheel got way untrued that you feel it) thats when I take the time to fix it, I can't do the two new tubes thing or damn tires thing because I got to save money and when I have patches I just use them instead, I like my PSI low but when it gets too low I have to put more in so I don't go as slow

None of this is real OCD.

OCD would be like riding down the street and having to pedal an odd amount of times before you coast, or an even amount of times before you coast...it's like having to clean every speck of dust off your bike when you ride.

If checking if your tires are still hard, and seeing if everything is tight before and after almost every single drop or trick, and thats not OCD, I don't know what is..

It's NOT OCD
Everyone always just misuses that word it's annoying

I can spend hours trying to line up my cranks so there perfectly even on the splines, it has to look almost perfect and if it dosen't it bothers me to the point where it is all i can think of.

Exactly.

If that doesn't apply to my riding, then I actually do have it in my ordinary life.

I used to clean my bike almost everytime i ride now i do it every so often O_O...... if i see a scratch on my frame i get all hysterical thinking its going to crack on me O____O. Also i have to wear my same shoes every time i go ride if i don't i feel like i don't have the same grip.... even if i do. I also check to see if i need to take a dump before i go riding.

Lets see.. I'm germaphobic, clean the toilet seat every time. I also wash my hands almost every time I do something I think is dirty, like scratching my ass or touching my toes, etc. Can't have a prime volume number on anything. I also make sure my handwriting has no gaps and whatnot in the letters.. Probably more but I really can't think of any.

You were diagnosed with OCD then? Or is this self diagnosis?

I don't know. People here claim that its someone normal people have as well. I honestly don't know. From legit online diagnosis and stuff, I have at least minor.

sounds like OCD
Dude I don't know why you guys are arguing, I feel bad for both of you
Changing both tubes instead of one??? Poor kid

I like a well maintained bike, I used to live with a housemate that had OCD and it rubbed off on me but now I think I'm back to normal.

There are many forms of OCD, my best friend has it and is also bi~polar as a kid he would collect random shit throughout the day.....broken glass,paper clips,dead bugs,etc. And he has to touch doorknob 5 times before he opens it and a lot of other random shit. So honestly the shit the OP was talkin about sounds about right. It's a mild case, but it sounds like it to me.
