Certainly contemplating a road (air) trip to Tokyo, would love to go over there at some point. Depends on timing/the successful return of my citizenship application in enough time 
Would also love to check out Chicago using the NACCC as an excuse. And I'm planning to do the TdC by 2010 too... Damnit.

Does anyone have a longer Nitto quill stem (pearl or dynamic) 100-110 for sale or trade? I have a new Nitto dynamic 9 90mm, 26.0.

I think I'm going to make some MTB wheel covers for polo. Anyone have mallet instructions?

Was weird when you came up on my side this morning Wes, rare that anyone catches/stays with me when I'm on my jaunt across College so I was quite surprised to see someone in my shoulder-check before I recognised you
PS, stupid cold weather forcing pants on the situation

Forgive my ignorance ... I always assumed front discs went on polo bikes for *ahem* "ball thwacking moves" but is it actually to prevent Rennick-like bails?

So in the past three years of riding bikes around town the one problem that seems to plague me is the truing of my rear wheel. Damn thing won't stay straight. I don't know if it's 'cause I'm a little big (6'2", 200lbs.), because I ride it hard, or maybe I don't know how to take the bumps of the road.
Anyways, I was thinking of getting my rear wheel trued up soon.
On my fixed right now I'm riding a Joytech (sealed) hub, with 36 spokes threaded into ERTRO/ALESA rim (MAKE IN BELGIUM, it says). It all came on my bike when I bought it last month on CL.
What I'm wondering is...is this a quality set-up? (I've certainly never heard of these brands before). I was thinking of maybe just buying a new wheelset but how much does a good one cost?
And today on CL there was this: https://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/bik/725346223.html
I'm thinking $89 bucks ain't bad. But is it a good deal?
Sorry if this screams noob. Feel free to just flame helpful links.

Joytech = bottom of the line
Rim = generic no name bottom of the line
Get a good handbuilt wheelset on something strong like the deep v or aerhoeads laced to a good hub by a competent wheelbuilder.
