^^ interesting convo, sounds like you could prolly pull it off with the UVIP angle. for me, I have an uncle whos a private detective, he gets me what I need :D

anyone need a wrench? my company liquidated yesterday.

anyone out and about for coffee/ride/etc?

also: is anyone going to Tofu's race tonight?

Yes.

where's Tofu's race at?
wes.. that 29'r was sick!!!

He looked at me with judgy eyes. JUDGY!

On second look I realize my original post could have been interpreted as me yelling at him because he did something bad. I was just yelling "Hey Jeremy" or something to that effect.

JUDGY!

Also: Veloflex tires back in stock at PBK and now on their way to me. whee.

^^^ I'm off to Barrie(rock) tonight. I would def be riding!

Yeah I'm going tonight, it's on rain or shine so bag-up ;)

Going to Hamilton, I've never gone straight in Burlington, but I've been out that way a few times - Lakeshore is just fine - lovely ride and not TOO busy if you leave early - just make sure you miss the mega-store mayhem times in Mississauga and you're set. Hwy5 (Bloor/Dundas) is also OK, but is a bit busier and could be a bit too far north/out of the way to be getting into Hamilton. (I think the closest I got was Peter's Corners or like around Waterford or whatever that town is at the top of the escarpment hill when I went to Cambridge).

Time to go hunt out some new rain pants, methinks. Stretching of the legs is needed.

i've got a veloflex pave yellow folder i've never used, and wont
(i've already got enough yellow tires with the michelins that are on my gt.)
i have never mounted it.

$20 if anyones interested?

hmmm I kinda need new tires come to think of it.

Your avatar and this image go perfect together....but I cannot decide if he is giving or getting The Shocker.

Given the absence of one finger, I'd say giving.

That's my typical route from St. Catharines to Oakville. Never ridden all the way to Toronto, and I have only ever done it on my road bike.

**** i almost died

I WANT A PAIR!!!!!



IRO hubs.... any update? (i gots the money, i think, for black open pros, spokes, and then for it to be built, so im kinda excited... all i need is seatpost, bars, brake and headset and tubes for my tires)

[Edit] Damn i remembered more parts i need for my bike... gggrrrrrr

and how do you uninvite someone who invited them selves?blahblahblah... now i feel bad because i told them i didnt think it would be a great idea if they came

i know it's not you're style to yell at people in anger, friend.

shocking, wes, just shocking...

lol

Springtastic was fun, much better after party than Gutz had, props to Tofu and the checkpoint folk - not sure if anyone else from here did it, but cheers Keith! Sweet prizes too, Cycle Solutions and Under the Weather yeah!

Had a lot of fun, was overdressed as the rain stopped just in time - awesome race though, out of 15 starters came in 9th (out of 10 finishers though :p)

$10 pitchers =

"Danger Will Robinson, Danger, Danger!"

:D

wooohooo! Sounds like fun.. I was snuggled on the couch watching movies with the kids and lovely wife.
I did just about get caught in the downpour yesterday... anyone get hit with that?

think i just missed it. what time did it happen?

Yeah I caught it heading west on College at around 5:30/6pm last night - pretty brutal, the wind was blowing stuff sideways across College and it's cross streets - was glad I was coverd up, though my shoes got soaked (I bagged up for the race, but that was in vain).

i literally locked up and walked into sneaky dees about 2 minutes before the skies opened up.

boo missed it! I was around and about with some friends in town. Yay beer!

I have seen with my own eyes the most absolutely shredded BB ever. Ive never seen so many bearings cracked in half and pitted by chunks of twisted metal. The lesson this season: If you are going to hammer drops and trails, rivers and giant mudholes rain or shine, use a sealed casette, and clean that **** out once in a while.

Left on the list: new BB, truing and repacking rear wheel, front wheel, new groupset, and a headset overhaul. Whoooo!

Once again I ask.. anyone out and about today?

I have a seat post currently in bike that measures 25.5 mm diameter( with my plastic caliper - so it is probably a 26.8 or 26.6) The new post measures 26.0 mm (it is actually a 27.2 stamped). I shouldn't even try fitting it in... right?

Yes, I'm out trying to kill myself on my recumbent. I've discovered that the brakes need serious work.

LOL, now that must be a trip, recumbent + shoddy brakes, uphill, in rain =P.

It was in the local playground, headed at a chainlink fence at 40 kmh :D

at least those things have some give...

however, isnt the crank directly in the path of your testicles if you slip off the pedals in a head-on?
