lol, practice 'n on the wife bike first I see.

Actually Her's was leaking like a sieve, mine is just an irritation so it can wait a week or two

Did ya find the socket or go with the crescent?

Something kinda bottlerocket with some preston.

A lot like that....

For some reason...I'm proud of you.

I'm pretty much aggravated with horses and the idiot owners of them here where I live at the moment.

Are they the only group that thinks it's fine to take their walking crap factory out onto the trails when the dirt is a consistency of something between soupy oatmeal and thick oatmeal? Things are finally dry enough to get some trail riding in at my favorite place and wound up spending most of my Thursday morning fixing parts that were mauled up by them. Only to go back today to see more hoof prints on that very same section of trail, a section of trail that isn't legal to equestrian traffic. Fortunately this repair was an easy repair and didn't take very long.

It will never stop amazing me how easily horse owners can get the go ahead from parks to build trail, but how hard it is for us to get the go ahead. I dont really see how person who is in control of his or her 20-30 pound bike does more damage to trails than a 2 thousand pound animal with a mind of its own and 4 small points of contact. Not to mention the poo factor.

Tad off topic,

But I Made it to Germany ok, and in one piece, for those who care, lol.

Just waiting for a house, our stuff, vehicles, and other things.
had to go get a wireless card thingy so I could get internet...

It's gonna come in handy I see it doesn't quite translate back as well, though.

Why stay at school lol, I aint even got a house yet.

Mein deutsch ist nicht so gut weil mein deutsch lehrer ist nicht so gut.

All of those online translators are fine as long as you are only typing in one word. Anything more gets screwed up.

your german teacher aint good... lol

ok quit torturin me with the German.

I've been here like 4 days, and its all but killed me lol.

Mein leherer ist ein unterhaltend mann aber er nicht ein gut Lehrer ist.

Edit: I'll quit now, good luck. I know I learned more Chinese in the first 2 days I was there than in the previous 6 months that I'd been using one of those audio learning systems, so I hope you get similar results with german.

I know Ausfarht means exit... if I even spelled that right lol

I didn't want to start a whole thread for this question.
Is there a easy way to take off the dork disc? After a year, i think im ready to not be dork. Ive been trying to cut it off, but its right behind the cassette and i dont want to damage it.

Just break it off, they are cheap enough to replace if you change your mind.

If it's not briitle enough to break off yet, use diagonals (small bites - -slow but sure) or aviation snips.

My LBS in Georgia took mine off when I brought my bike in for a fine tuning before my first big race.
He was like well since your racing take this off. lol.

Alright. I just need thinner scissors or pliers. Im just worried the cassette might bend.

Well, pretty much for the rest of the riding season I'll be walking with a limp. Have a slight cartilage tear in my right ankle.

Jeez dude, the season just started. You want it all and you want now, don't chu? You gotta learn to relax, start slow, take a hit off that doobie and mellow. He He

I didn't hurt it riding either, it's been bugging me for a few weeks.
