IN the fine print I could not find where they talk about chains, but the do specifically include cassettes (which could make it worth it if you get one a year), but not brake pads.

as soon as you change one part, this part ain't covered anymore.

+ look, your ex bike is full 105 now. and by full, I mean... FULL.


no tektro! no r600 more fun

and don't mind the computer. It was a test.

I simply have deep hatred for Shimano. Too many times has a skipped chain bucked me off of a bicycle in the middle of a steep hillclimb on a Shimano equipped bike. Since I've switched to Sram this problem has gone away. This has been on both MTB's and road bikes. I can also no longer operate a bike with anything other than Sram at this point or I want to chuck it in front of traffic after 5 min of riding. Not to mention Sram looks better, unless your old and your eyes don't function properly like PCAD.

I'm also obviously not displaying elitism in anyway, your confused. There is no Campagnolo on any of my bicycles. As much as I would like it, it's just too stupid for even me. I do covet Campy, I just won't let myself ever try it.

Bike looks good, snail.

That crank looks allot better than all the other Shimano junk. I like it. Well done.

You just need some camo bartape to finish it off.

Pink snow camo to be exact.

That's cool dude. It sounds like you are more of a fanboy than elitist. Makes no difference to me; both are silly. Your personal experience does not represent a majority. If you prefer SRAM over Shimano because problems you've had in the past that's cool. But when you exude preference as superiority, it becomes fanboyish.

Did anyone watch Watson on Jeopardy? I caught a few minutes of him yesterday but missed today (volleyball). It appears he's kicking butt.

I think there's something to this artificial intelligence thing. I say we set up a few computers as posters on this site.

was really surprised too by how awesome the crank is, but I failed at camo bartaping it. I got some fizik tape... Sorry all.

How do you know we're not already here?

If we set up Watson on here it'd find a way to hack some missiles right onto various poster's abodes.

I think it'd be a bad idea to unleash that kind of AI onto the internets.

Something might go wrong.Something might go wrong.Something might go wrong.Something might go wrong.Something might go wrong.Something might go wrong.

Maybe Watson can ride Di2.

We'll get over it. When does riding season start in Quebec? May?

So in addition to socks we may have non-human members here? That's an added degree of difficulty in sorting out, though it would explain some of the characters in P&R.

with a lot of luck, March. Maybe april... but most likely may. I'll get it out asap though. My gf bought me some awesome armwarmers for my birthday I'm dying to try them

( birthday was in december... LOL)

Me too.

You haven't ridden in at least a month and a half? Good grief.

Nice build. Enjoy! You should probably powdercoat or rattle can it, though. You know...

I've had several bikes with Shimano, none of them ever shifted as good as Sram. Period. When Shimano caused harm to me on several occasions, it has made me form a vendetta against them. Sorry if you don't approve. I can remember one time I was simply pedaling my DH bike down the street, and the RD exploded took out the rear wheel, and caused me to crash, and I was forced to walk, while bleeding profusely, a 45lb bike with a rear wheel that wouldn't turn 4 miles back to my house. So don't tell me about this fan boy crap. I've never had a good experience with a Shimano equipped bike.

Oh my. Time to find a parking garage or something. I couldn't live like that.

My strategy is to render any shifting issues moot by never shifting. I still have a ways to go to achieve that.

I can't either, As soon as snow arrives I feel depressed. I managed to survive this winter through this build...
When I'll be over with school I'll work my butt off to move to another country where it's hot more than 3-4 months per year...

Have you noticed coasting is not posting when Watson is playing?
