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.

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...

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...

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!

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?
