That usually does the trick. ;)

I rode with Charlie one night on the spit and his light was too bright, kept blinding me. On the rode in the rain it was extremely bright as well.

Coming out on friday night? I'll bring the 13t cog for you.

Thanks man! I wish I was but I'm leaving for Ottawa late in the afternoon on Friday so unfortunately I won't be able to partake.

Latest addition to the tool collection: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/s...ock/index.html

Hopefully, it'll come in handy during future ss cx/xc adventures.

sweet. Where did you get it? Shimano only I assume?

this is making me hungry ;)

I'm heading downtown later today, anywhere I can drop it for you? Most likely hitting Manic Coffee, someone there you know?

Dude that is so gross! I feel ill. :p

I know eh? Nasty...its a whole new realm of disgusting nastiness...thats a heartattack in one bite!

I'd try the bacon burger

+1 Mmmhmm, yep.

Is Dangerous Dans Diner worth a visit? I've still never made it over there.

We had one collecting dust on a shelf. I think QBP distributes them (don't quote me on that, though). Most places market them toward touring cyclists but if the tool works well it should come in handy for at-the-trailhead ss gearing changes too. We shall see ...

Oh, and apparently there's a Campagnolo one, too.

Cool- touring is what I had in mine. Cassette removal tools are cheap and simple... but big and heavy!

Brad, I can't remember ... but is your *cough* beater a singlespeed or geared?

You mean L'il Hauler? It was SS once upon a time but now it's got a 48-38 on the front and 11-21 7sp on the back. Why do you ask?

I meant the actual mountain bike. Just curious.

Okay, time to go to the bank and try to get a $15k line of credit. WEE!

Nah, the mountain bike is your typical (for the time I guess) 3X8

A SS mtb is on my wish list though (along with many, many other bikes)

That's wicked, thank you so much! If you put it in an envelope with my name on it and ask to leave it behind the counter for me that would be perfect. I know all but one person there so chances are someone I'll know will be working. ;) You can tell them the coffee is on me, too!

Good luck! Getting the loan is the easy part. Not blowing it on bike stuff is the hard part.

PS:

*hauls ass to Manic with empty envelope > coffees for the shop on Rennick...Thanks dude! haha jk

Cool book idea, thanks for the link Brad.

Sprints tonight? I've got that ride up to 400/7 tomorrow, but I'll still drop by on the way west tonight if it's on like donkey kong.

Hey, steeker's in it! Nice.

Hahaha, amazing. Grab a couple of cookies for the boys while you're there.

Cog was left with Toby, actually forgot to put the coffee on your bill. Enjoy.

Thanks Chris!

For anyone who is interested at all fixed trick riding - check this and let me know if you're interested!

Hey look at that, I found this place again. Man I miss it here. Stupid non-bike life.

Anywho...

As it stands, sprints are on - despite my saying to Will earlier they were not happening due to the awful weather we were supposed to be in the middle of. However, that being said I will try and post an update on here - and msg the Facebook group - before 8pm with my final answer.

And on that note, we're also working on a ****e weather contingency that could possibly take the shape of a bimonthly indoor event. This is of course pending some logistical issues that some of you may receive somewhat cryptic pm/email/phone call/etc's regarding. I assure you, this is not on purpose so much as my style of running with a project that is a somewhat of an incomplete thought, but so far so good :D

bimonthly? that means every 2 months..? :)

Yeah, it's awesome. My front 5-LED planet-bike light seems plenty bright (for being seen) as well, but it's kind of giant and hideous. :P

Maybe I'll see you on the highway. I'm heading to Ottawa on Friday as well... Gonna do the cx race (@ Terry Fox Athletic Centre) on Sunday morning if you're bored. :) I assume you have a ride already, otherwise you're welcome to come along in my veehickle.

I used to put two MEC frogs on pointing out to the side off the headtube. Seemed to work pretty well from a visibility standpoint and quick like a bunny to take off.

So no Betty's for you lads on Friday then ?
We need a viable way of mounting SunGunTM aircraft landing lights.....
will be so hot as to strip paint when they drive by...one of my Dad's 4x4 nutcase buddy's put em on his rollbar.
