well no death bike on friday then.... SS on track drops? I guess not...heehee
*edit* Ok Urbane says... Shimmy SS cogs to 18....an 18 I gots already. Surly cogs will fit Shimmy cassette spines and go up to 22 teeth but alas on order...and 40 buckos a piece. Another suggestions as to rear cog retailers?

[QUOTE=somnambulant; ps: who here is racing on Friday @ Toby's race?[/QUOTE]
Nah... I am going to save my legs for Nadir's $2g 3hr race. JK.
I plan to! I am seriously fearing costume interaction with the crank... and no I am not wearing a Cinderella (tm) ball gown.

Saw the awesome-est sight on my ride into work this morning. Just as I was passing City Hall I caught a glimpse of the guy who rides the surf board bike. Not only was he on the surf board bike, but he was riding it in full on business suit. Good sight to start the week

Cross tires for 26". Where to get in T.O. I'm not sure, I think Curbside might have/order them, but don't quote me.
I should have a spare cassette you can break apart to get a 22t cog if you need one. Let me know.

Holy, I got a close call on a right hook on College near the fire station. I passed a few moving cars in the bike lane and my next thought was, "oh a cop car, nope a parking ticket cop, oh it is turning into me right now!... the guy was talking on a cell phone of course. Is that complaint worthy? I should have got the details...

Good call, Cam. I should bring the cowbell to the checkpoint on Friday.
Sometimes I think that's a photo of you and it terrifies me.
