It's fast. Oh yes.

Pcad is slow. Oh no.

Oh well. I'm faster than some of you mopes. That's all I need. DFL + n.
I'm liking the seatpost. Think I saw the thread about how your last one sucks, but didn't fully appreciate the looks of the new one until now. the cut out looks good.

I've heard that before. Show up. We'll grind you up and spit you out. Or we'll all blow every gasket chasing you for two hours. Either way works for me.

The best part about the Nyack Ride is that once the hammer drops the bull**** ceases, you can crank your iPod and just friggin HAMMER HAMMER HAMMER HAMMER until there's nothing left. I hate socializing with friggin bike weenies. I'm in this sport for the catharsis, not the chit chat.

I come to BF for the chit chat.

It's a bag containing a spare Tufo tubular clincher, CO2 cartridges, and a small tool kit for the Tufo.

Ya like my fenders?

Judging by the stories I've heard, I'm gonna need to bring a GPS with me so I can find my way back.

And as all of the bike forum weenies looked on in awe, visions of bright pink kit exuberantly bouncing at high cadence dancing in their heads.

Don't underestimate the Power of Pcad Wheel Sucking. If you join me on the Nyack Ride I will share the Wheelsuck Wisdom. My bungie cord stretches, but it does not break. Not lately anyway.

It does seem like you could go one size larger, and zero spacers.

More importantly, this seat post is easy to adjust and when you tighten it, nothing moves around. I think my issue with the USE Alien was a worn bolt, but those bolts were periodically wearing out and stripping. Never had a seat post that had that issue. I replaced that bolt and I'm selling the old Alien. It will probably work now for somebody else with that new bolt.

There is no accountability on BF. Just like corporate America. Except here when you get banned they don't give you a $50 million Golden Parachute.
Oh please...stop the madness. This thread is killing me!!!
