^^ Costco sells industrial barrel-size bottles of it reasonably. Higher mg count that many other brands too.

I kind of thought the price was to good to be true (at the time I ordered, the cheapest I could find was 205$ but I think it can now be found for 175ish), but being the cheapo I am, I went ahead and got it after calling and asking a few in depth questions about the crankset, and something else. Took 2 weeks to ship, but it did get here, and I installed it, and its good. The whole thing (including BB and packaging) is lighter than just the drive side half of my last crankset (which was a square taper).

My LBS had to shut down recently so from what i have heard they are having huge sales which makes sense. However, I have tried to go by and the doors are locked and lights are not on and no one answers the phone so i got the guy who owns it cell phone number and want to call and ask about helmets and a couple other things but not sure if that is an acceptable thing since he was not the one to give me his number. My friends dad bought a bike from there and gave it to me. what do you think? Call and ask away just tell him how i got his personal number? Keep trying the shop since someone has to be there at some point?

So uh both my DH bike + my hardtail have been stolen.

I give up, im at my fricken wits end. Somebody, somewhere, does not want me to ride bikes.

I do, but they were in peices, stripped to components for rebuilding. Id just stripped the frame, was waiting on new fork seals etc.

=[

BFG 10-26-09 07:08 AM

Meaning theres absolutely 0 chance of getting it back in the same way i did the hardtail last time.

craigcraigcraig 10-26-09 08:55 AM

but they have your intials on the right like the hardtail did? i think it would be hard to build up a frame like that and sell it. That stinks though, hope something good comes of it.

Absolute suckatration, BFG!

Getting your HT stolen the first time was bad enough. Now this.

I hope the perps get strung up and eviscerated.

Hrmmm decisions decisions. I can stay here in Dallas TX, move to Austin TX, and now I have an offer to move to around Seattle. I have always lived in Texas and love the chilly rainy weather and am an extremely outdoors type person this is a hard choice!

If you have homeowners or renters insurance, turn in a claim. Even if it was a pile of bike at the time, it is personal property. It will be subject to your deductible, but you can get restart funds coming your way. I hope your have some insurance. If they say, It aint covered, ask the magic phrase, Show me in the policy where it isn't covered. You wouldn't believe how that phrase opens the checkbook.

HOPEFULLY, you got some insurance. If not, sorry, sound like something you might consider.

Daspydyr 10-27-09 04:01 PM

I'm gonna start a thread tonight about Bike Insurance. I tend to ramble. I'll try to get organized.

ed 10-27-09 06:10 PM

Haven't been on the bike in about a month. (knees) Saturday was gonna be my first day back post-hiatus. Trails were shot. Today was gonna be my next first day back. Wife and one kid have the flu...had to leave work early to take care of the whole flammy.


Does the good Lord want me to quit riding or maybe just wait until the Flow is done?:lol:

ca7erham 10-27-09 06:18 PM

Ran a 5k earlier. Wow, I really suck at pacing myself. Did it in a pathetic 24ish mins (according to my start and finish time; we'll see what the chip thingy says), started off way too slow seeing as I literally sprinted the last half mile.

Patience boy, patience! You are storing up good points, taking the higher path! The wife will see, she will appreciate, the rewards will arrive.
