Also - re DS browsing and M3 -- I think it's possible if you're some kind of freak with both slot1 and slot2 "solutions" (i.e. M3 simply + M3 lite), but probably cheaper just to buy the official browser. I haven't had the urge to do so due to related comments on screen size, etc.
M3+SNES emulator + Super Keirin FTW?
I tried loading up the rom but can't read japanese.. need a translation :>
When looking at buying new disc routers for disc brakes, what's the difference between say 200mm ones versus 160mm (other than 40mm)? My buddy is buying a new set of wheels to put 'road' type tires on his mountain bike, with a more appropriate cassette for road riding.
I found some good wheels but they don't come with the routers. So I'm looking at different ones, and MEC has 203mm for $35 each, but 160mm are only $15.
Any insight?

Tubulars
Hey folks - I was working on a few parts bin conversions over the weekend and came across some parts I'm not going to use and will likely sell but have no idea what make they are (the cranks) or what they're worth (the wheel) so...
Does anyone know what brand these cranks are?

Does anyone know what a tubular wheel like this would be worth, realistically? The thing is light beyond belief... I know the Araya's a fairly well sought after and it's got bladed spokes laced to a Mavic 571 hub... Any ideas? Any takers?

I rode the Zipp's this weekend (though, they are actually Hed's.). They are a damn fast wheels, but boy do you feel the bumps. Going over subway tracks was pretty jarring.
I've switched back to my normal wheels. The Hed's are fun, but they aren't every day wheels. They did look cool though, which is the most important thing.

i'd be interested in those cranks if you're selling...

I don't think he sells much of the higher end stuff like he used to. That may be because they were less popular or because maybe they were more stand-outish, so the real owners might recover them. I mean, if you own a Pinarello, you will likely have the serial number written down somewhere and a description of it but how many Supercycle owners go to the trouble?

That sucks. Did you guys figure it out when someone visited the other city? That must have been quite the surprise.

No... it happened twice a year, for at least three of the six years I was messin'. Sneaky and organized.
Messers talk and a white van would do rides from here as well, to be sold in MTL apparently.

That's some sneaky ****. Bash their heads in with a pedal wrench if you find them. Then bash their car in, bash it good.
