Thanks Mike. I was thinking about reinforcing the spoke nipple holes with epoxy and then painting the wheel and using it on my conversion. Do you think that would be workable or do you think I shouldn't take the risk? I used my head to stop my forward momentum once on a skateboard and I really don't want to do it again!


That wheel is a " DEATH TRAP "
The guy that sold it to you should be

SHOT
HUNG
and
BURIED ALIVE

Take it back!!!!!!!!!!

Uh oh... Unless Tallahassee magically shows, looks like the competitions may be scratched.

Carol just dropped off a ton of food at the shop. I don't have a car.
Anyone arriving on time with a car want to help me haul it over?
or... with a bike want to help me make a couple trips?
Thanks,
Michael



FREE FOOD!!!

FREE FOOD!!!

whoa! Matt, word of advice. if you take that wheel back to the guy that sold it to you and proceed to SHOOT him, and then HANG him and he's still alive for you to try and BURY, then he's probably the toughest guy alive and you might just want to forget about the money you lost on it.

all joking aside... mondomike is right, don't risk it. chalk it up as a loss.

Oh well... Thanks for the advice. You probably saved my face from getting another scar, if not a more serious head injury.

Nah...the toughest guy alive would dig himself up.

I may have a car to help with.

isn't CETMA a sponsor? :D

Are we giving up on the competitions if Tally doesn't show?

I'll be there, let me know.

Whats this talk of not having the comps because people from tally aer not hear. Did all of our cycling skills move to tally with Luke?They didn't invent the track stand ,skip stop or foot down . If any of you can muster up some skills i have prizes :p

I innovated the horizontal trackstand.

I innovated the horizontal track stand.Well i must admit those backward circles you where busting out were pretty sick and if more people in st pete worked at it the way you do may be we could have a backwards circle comp as well . Maybe in a couple of years when theirs no more forum's and you fools are forced to ride your bikes and interact with other humans:D

Yes, I must get in touch with CETMA.
One man shops unite.

That food is really snacks.
And the snacks are really candy.
And will probably be consumed in a matter of minutes.

Cotton Candy, Fire Balls, and Cups of Cereal, oh my!!
Goldfish, Chips, and Double Dipping Salsa!!

So Joe, I can use your trunk?

Sure thing. I will just have to stick my bike in the back, too.

and you fools are forced to ride your bikes and interact with other humans:D

Humans are overrated.

Thanks Joe. Around 7:26pm. Approximately.

i figured as much. just do me a favor and use barbecue sauce.

So...

Last night was fun, I wish I would have brought my bike. Pouring down rain in Largo when I left though (excuses, excuses).

Nice to see a lot of new faces.

I'm obviously not going to be able to make the ride today...stuck at work until at least 4pm. I'll see everyone on Sunday...I'm going for slow and steady.

when and where can i go tomorrow to check out the alley cat?

who won? i had to go early. what the ****, i know.

Lil Joe fastest guy Carol Davis fastest girl and overall points winner .Brandon from st Augustine got first out of town.:D

Nice job Corey!

Damn, who was the fool in the Batman shirt? Too bad the shirt didn't make him faster ...

Fun race Corey, thanks!

did Luke ever show?
did anyone ever get a Tap?

Killar race, Corey. Srsly. Couldn't have gone better. I had a blast and so did Peggy for the short time she was there.

Scotty, give me back my spokecard.

Yep, Luke showed up at some absurdly late time, like midnight-thirty or something.

Corey traded in the keg for cases of beer so the Beer Gods were satisfied and all was made good.

Danny, you need to remind me what gear ratio you're running again, I want to try it.

Michael from 66Fixed, good to finally talk to you, even as brief (and convoluted on my part) as it was.

Believe it or not, Robbo, I don't have your spoke card. Seriously. Maybe if you were nicer to people and you talked about ponies and rainbows and such these types of things wouldn't happen. Luke can school you in this path.
My, my -- such an angry young man ...

Todd: Is that THE hat in the pictar? I want one now.

thanks for waiting for jovan and myself, we had lots of fun.Thanks for being a trooper and doing the race there were a lot of guys from tampa yesterday some one needs to do the ybor to down town tampa for the next race:p

Man, I could put together the sweetest route for a Tampa race..

aside from the creeping migraine headache i had and the mysteriously low tire pressure in my rear tire, it was a good time. still maganged to pull off 8th or 9th place.

sorry i turned ghost after the race... my head was hurting so badly i could hardly keep my eyes open. i went home and was in bed before 6pm. i was really looking forward to the after party, by the looks of the pictures, i missed out.

who's in for the Tuesday night tough guy ride? i have a nice loop in mind, probably about 15 miles, followed by a few beers at the emerald. meet at the shop (66) around 6:30pm

oh hey, if no one is doing anything tonight (monday) jovan and myself are toying around with the idea of making it two days in a row down in da burg...anyone up for anything around 10:00?

How many people were in the race?

Todd: Is that THE hat in the pictar? I want one now.


Luke, that was just a blank cap. The caps I was working on didn't come out very well. I'll be getting more focused on HorroH when I get back from CA next month.

Glad you're back little buddy. We'll ride soon (sounds like a Wednesday Tampa ride coming up).

How many people were in the race?
42

I ended up not making it up to the alleycat, I think I am to damn old for the scene......

The pics remind me of my punk rock / skateboard ramp days.....

nice to see a girlie from Sarasota got 3rd.

I think i need to change my name from ononecog to OLDGEEZER.
