Probably related to his dropouts not being spaced properly. It makes cranking down the nuts way harder and you can sometimes overdo it.

I just got back from a great long weekend at algonquin park and I still smell of wood smoke. Great weather except for one day but we had 'alternative' entertainment organized just in case. Yesterday was gorgeous. Totally worth it just for that.

I'm set for an alleycat this weekend, and then track racing the next weekend. Maybe donut ride the week after. Good to see stuff is still going down without me! My defrauding situation is also looking better but I still have no girl I'm planning on making this an autumn and winter of serious bike riding/ rock climbing. My friend and I are actually throwing around the idea of biking cross canada this summer so I need to do some serious training and figure out a gearie to build/buy. I'm going to check out the fall bike show and see if they have any nice cross bikes. We are thinking cross bikes with cantis and a bob trailer would be the best for such a long haul. Any suggestions?

Also,is anyone up for some evening/weekend rock climbing at any of the gyms downown this winter? I've been getting too weak, need to build up that core strength! Also no girlfriend to take up my time!
