trying to get away with not using a tensioner...so far it feels good..about an 1" of slack or so, but the chain still isn't long enough to jump off the cog unless i take the wheel out of the dropouts.

Stock 2005 Enduro 130, still waiting on [real] pedals. Yes yes, the reflectors are coming down... waiting for good weather to break it in the dirt.

Dirt, dirt, and more dirt! Smooth ride!

Oh, and I'd take the reflectors off too...

Dirt is a great idea for the first upgrade...will post some "upgraded" pics as soon as I can

And I already took the reflectors off

Thanks for helping with the pic posting info

Here's my new baby! It's freakin' sweet! Stock except for the pedals.


Replaced the Shimano PD-M505's with these nice Time ATAC XS's. Figured I'd try 'em out.

Of course, I had to get new shoes since I got a new bike, right? Check out my hot Italian kicks! Sidi Dominator 5's. They are stupid awesome!


Damn, I wish my camera didn't suck so much! Can't afford a new one if I keep spending so much on bike stuff, tho....

If it does, I suck at using it. The more I zoom in, the blurrier(?) it gets. I really shoulda read the manual(not that I know where it is).

I didn't get to ride it much today, but my major fears seem to have been unfounded. The stem seemed awfully short to me, but it feels fine(the bike's a large, btw) so far. Still not sold on the seat, yet. I'm used to those thinly-padded Selle Italia's, tho. I love the rims and rotors and frame and bars and grips and....whew, you get the picture.

why zoom when you can move your body forward? or hasnt that caught on with digital cameras?

That's what I do, but it still yields blurry pics. The camera seems to focus on the background instead. Oh, and don't even get me started on the low light sensor/flash.

Yeah, that's exactly what it's doing.

If it's a point-and-shoot digital camera with no macro mode (a little flower symbol normally denotes the macro mode), hold the camera to your face (yeah, the 'normal' viewfinder always sucks on point and shoots, but the contact with your head provides some stabilization, especially with really light weight mini-cameras), don't use the zoom (especially if it's not optical zoom), make up for the poor auto-focus distance by standing back a bit (crop out the your foot or other object from the surrounds once you get the image on your computer, most newer point-and-shoot cameras have high pixel counts but relatively poor clarity so you end up shrinking the image later afterward), and make up for the tiny lens and ineffective flash by having as much ambient light as you can get (but no abnormally reflective objects behind your target). Oh, and take tons of shots and pick the best out at the end .

Thus ending my "easy tips to work around over-simplified tiny camera issues" for today .

Oh, and while I'm at it, even though it's hardly a masterpiece of composition, here's an updated shot of my Komodo (slightly longer seat post, platforms pedals and offroad tires at the moment, new crank, and the same stem I need to change out for a different size).

Thanks for the tips. I'll probably just save my pennies and get a better camera, tho.

Digital Camera is dead so I had to use my Camera Phone, thus not as good quality.
