damn, i wish i could come out and watch the mahem, but like pyse i live a cook's life and must work. someone please take a camera to record the carnage. and watch your shins around all those screws!

maybe it's the crank is on too loose? those AX cranks didn't use a proprietary BB? i have a set of AX calipers and they have all sorts of non-standard stuff in them.

If the break wasn't straight across the axle then you'd have a point where the two parts push themselves against the cups and "catch" otherwise the slop would allow some movement between the two halves.

I know nothing specific about AX stuff, just going with my impression. My first thought was loose cotter but that's obviously not the problem.

pulling the bolt out, you can see the spindle moving with the crank arm.
the crank arm doesnt look rounded out.

who's open today in the core?
i'm at college/ossington, and have to go to queen/bay to work for a bit.

Derek will be in at the bike joint for a while... not sure what time he's closing up to go set up the race though.

So... looks like my studded tires on cheapy SS wheels add 7lbs to my normal 8sp wheels :eek:

Have any of you ever been to the International Bicycle Show? The Spring show is happening in a few weeks and I was thinking it would be a good place to shop for a new frame and other components for my winter fg project. But if there's usually not much doing I'd just as soon skip it, since it's pretty much just a shopping trip for me.

I was waiting for Bikes on Wheels to get their shipment of IROs but bah gawd I'm getting antsy!

If it wasn't for TJ, I would say it wasn't worth going.

Everyone told me it wasn't worth going last year but I went anyway and found my favourite bike (my Guerciotti road bike) for $100. They had super cheap Mavic rims and tires and stuff too. Just sayin'.

I got in on some of those mavic rims last year. They were selling them at cost as long as you bought 2 :)

I'll be at the ice races with my camera, taking pictures of the carnage. Will be sure to post in here after.

What's the plan for grubs before ice race?

Rob! you're coming? Um, what's close to dufferin grove?

FYI, I'm heading out really soon, so my cell is 416-565-5329.

Wait thats today? NVM :X AHhhhhhhhhhhh man

P.S I'm an idiot

Some photos of the ice races, before I left at around 8:30 or so... http://flickr.com/photos/9877823@N03...7603921937662/

The cam was in burst mode for a good chunk of these shots, which makes for some interesting sequences from the start line.

good times.

i put some up aswell, unfortunately most of them were blurry and had to be left out

Woooohoooo!

Looks like fun anyone we know do any winning (not that its important)?

I was only there for half of it, but I think I saw Wes win a race, and saw Keith in a photo finish for second. It was a pretty fun event, and the weather wasn't as bad as I thought.

How was the crowd turnout?

It was a pretty good turnout. Benchers were full as was the end of the ice adjacent to the club house. Hard to tell what the exact numbers were.

I’m not saying - but if you search the pirate bay now for m@$hsf you might find something - just saying.
