How do the KMC base 10 speed chains compare to Ultegra chains? Running on SRAM driveline.
No idea about the chains, I always go DA since the price difference is more than worth it - I think like $5 for the DA chain.

Don't expect anything from PBK soon. I ordered stuff way before christmas and still haven't gotten in.

Gah! I can't keep up with this one thread alone. Don't need to keep up with another whole board.

Post up the recipe. I love bread, but I lack the skill, time, and patience to make it. Something about screaming kids running around...

If the other board lets you call a perv a perv without receiving PM's from mods justifying the perversion, I'm all for it.

that movie scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. I think it's the really jerky stop motion, plus the yeti and the guy with a gun.

I tried the KMC XL chain with a Sram drivetrain and it was pretty awful. Chain suck, and when I cross chained the side of the chain would catch on the inside of the big chain ring, making it "pop." Put an ultegra chain on yesterday and it was back to awesome.

That's how I should have started my last post in the TrainingPlan thread.

I feel that I might come off as an ass - actually I'll definitely come off as an ass - and I kinda believe you should be really good or at least super experienced if you're going to front being an ass. I'm neither of those things, but he pissed me off, so I typed it out.

oh wells. Another day, another thread.
