While TO fixed sleeps, ideas stem in my head.

Did you weld that yourself? Pretty impressive.

tuz 11-18-09 02:46 PM

Yup, brazed on my deck. I probably won't do it again, my mapp torch was working near the limit! Joints are sound, but the bar clamp is not perpendicular to the extension (d'oh).

I can see how delivery trucks find it more efficient to park as close to the curb as possible but eventually a person is going to get hurt very badly and there will be a huge lawsuit against UPS or whoever and I hope that lawyer-guy kept that letter, it could be worth millions.

hello! control panel?

what am I missing?

jet sanchEz 11-19-09 05:18 PM

I just saw the new story on the subway shutdown yesterday, I didn't even know about it. Cycling to work everyday effing rules.

TRaffic Jammer 11-19-09 05:33 PM

Control Panel is now Settings, and that little knob beside the bolded thread title will take to the most recent posting.

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I've never seen the wedge oriented that way before...

I_bRAD 11-19-09 05:35 PM

thanks tj! I think that's the only button I didn't try

TRaffic Jammer 11-19-09 05:37 PM

Think'll push out the side of the headtube? Jeez Brad way to make him paranoid now.... :lol:


I'LL TEST IT

hahaha you may need more than that!

I remember seeing some older syncros that had the wedge somewhat like I did. But also I can't think how it could make a difference!

that looks like my dad (without the moustache).

PS - i can't see the stem expander on the side being a problem....i mean it does expand on the inside to cover as much area as possible...

Quite a bit different from the cold and snow last year!

Racing starts at 9:30...elites go at 1.

I picked up my fenders today, and I have some spare SKS fender quick releases (the little plastic ones that pop the fender off if something gets wedged in it), if anyone needs a pair. I thought I might need them after hearing horror stories of changing flats on fork ends with fenders, but I can get my back wheel out without removing the fender if I deflate the tire, so I'm good without!

kergin 11-23-09 09:43 AM

To the gentle[wo]man that stole my front wheel, seatpost, saddle, and collar: next time, just try to take the whole bike. Really, it'd be easier for me to walk home without the un-rideable bike. Also - you stole the collar? Really? No courtesy.

I guess my overall feeling is not violation, because in the back of my mind I always knew this would happen. Now that it actually has happened, I feel that whoever did this is pathetic... Really now, how much of a ****-stain of a life must you have to resort to sealing bikes/bike-parts?

iherald 11-23-09 10:14 AM

That sucks. QL parts or bolt on?
