Just attempted to fix my bike and didn't do so. I spent over an hour with my dad trying to set up the straight cable and can't get it right. The cable hanger is a pain in the ass. I hate brakes.

[mude]

your mom doesnt want you riding but your dad is helping you build your bike....

[FitRider 921]

Correctamundo.

[premiumbmx2005]

wow. you and your dad must be retarded if you cant figure out a straight cable.

[cwt341]

why are you putting brakes on

[FuzzyRyder]

No kidding. its not rocket science to put a straight cable on. Did you cut the cable to the right lenght and everything? How hard is it to slide the cable into the hanger bolt and tighten it down?

[FitRider 921]

Yeah, the cable has been cut to the right length, but I don't think my dad really knows what he is doing, and I certainly don't. I think he is overcomplicating things. When it's warmer, I'll take it outside to look at it myself.

[FuzzyRyder]

How can you not know what you are doing... I dont think it gets anymore straight forward...

[FitRider 921]

I know, but for some reason, he's had problems with the cable hanger and it's causing the brakes to just not have the power they should. It should be a pretty easy fix. It's hard to work on things when it's still 30-40 degrees outside.

...I don't think my dad really knows what he is doing, and I certainly don't. I think he is overcomplicating things...
My dad tends to do that too sometimes lol.

[new_dharma]

can you post a pic of the what seems to be the problem area?
maybe they just need adjustment?
(sorry...not much help w/o seeing it)

[FitRider 921]

I'll try to get some pictures when my parents leave.

[new_dharma]

pictures of the brakes, not you doin' tricks off the dryer ;)

[FitRider 921]

Now my bike has been moved to the garage with two corvettes... not a good idea to do much in there.

[gnr rocker]

sell one of the vettes and buy a tuner?

[FitRider 921]

Not mine to sell. The vettes in the garage are my dad's pride and joy. He restored them himself.

[gnr rocker]

carve your name in them, then post pictars

[FitRider 921]

If I did that, and hoped to live, I would be the stupidest fellow to ever walk the Earth.

[gnr rocker]

seriously, pics of the vettes

[FitRider 921]

Possibly.
EDIT: They are in a dimly lit garage, so I don't think the pictures will turn out so well.

[FuzzyRyder]

flash...

[premiumbmx2005]

damn, your chock full of excuses

[wethepeople]

More excuses then the bible had lies.

[callumrides]

we want the vettes

[hockeyteeth]

Not mine to sell. The vettes in the garage are my dad's pride and joy. He restored them himself.

Your father can restore a classic car, but can't figure out how to mount brake cable on a bike frame? I wouldn't want to ride in his car if that's the case.

[FitRider 921]

I'll get pictures.

[gnr rocker]

that's what i thought

EDIT: The first picture is supposed to be smaller, but is not showing up at the size it should be.

[gnr rocker]

I wouldn't have used that color, hot vettes though

[FitRider 921]

No, the color actually looks really nice. The pictures didn't come out so well because of the lighting.

[wethepeople]

Those 1970's Vettes were dogs, the second one a '72?

[gnr rocker]

pull them outside?

[wethepeople]

Either way, I'm going to go outside and ride me some ramps.

[gnr rocker]

do it, you won't

[tmowery18]

The first one looks like a 69 maybe 70 stingray, fricken sweet. You get one of those when you get your license?

[FitRider 921]

pull them outside?
Too many cars in the driveway? Don't know where all the keys are? It's dark outside? My ghetto neighbors are having a party and doing lots of drugs and drinking alcohol excessively?
You get one of those when you get your license?
Not quite first car material...

[tmowery18]

Not quite first car material...

Your right, more like second car. Just crash your first within a week and you will be golden :)

[FitRider 921]

Almost... besides insurance going even farther up through the roof and getting all keys taken away from me and being strapped down inside my house.

[tmowery18]

Oh yeah? Well I get my bike on Wednesday. And my dads friend came over today, he is a woodworker he has built some of our tables and stuff. All of the sudden this crazy idea popped into my head. So I just said it "hey Phil (thats his name) will you help me build a half pipe or quarter pipe or something like that this summer or late spring?" He said he would, he also said that he would pay for it if I finished school before july 15th. I can pick out whatever wood I want and have him build whatever I want. What should I get?

[gnr rocker]

get a civic

[tmowery18]

get a civic

Do you know anything about any kind of cars? Don't get a civic unless you want some good gas mileage.

[gnr rocker]

do i know any thing about cars? hmmmm lets see

http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u69/chris2huff/Durango.jpg the bagged one

[tmowery18]

Just because you have some doesn't mean you know anything. You didn't answer my question. Why would you recommend a civic if you knew what you were talking about? Unless your some guy that saw fast and the furios and saw a civic in it so you think they are the best cars ever and you think they can drift.

[FitRider 921]

gnr, the diesel does not look like the diesel I know.
