I was kinda liking the black Paké cranks that would go with my Paké. I'm looking to replace/repair the BB but I also want new cranks for it. IF I go for anything other than square taper, I MUST replace the cranks. If I replace with another square taper BB I can fiddle around. Campy wouldn't be frowned upon, in the 170mm area. Used is fine, as new rings can be gotten. The gold Sugino looks pretty funky and blingy. The mismatched Sugino (old) drive side and Peugeot non-drive crank will then get slapped on the MTB I believe, to replace the failing/failed XT stuff if it can't be fixed...

ive been reading your blog for a while + i wanted to tell you that i really enjoy it. i post here so rarely that i am aware this makes me merely a stalker who is into bikes.

Just a quick reminder about the first DSR Don ride tomorrow night. Meetup between 6.30 and 6.45 tomorrow at Pottery Road....

Beautiful ride in the Don tonight. Can't make the DSR ride tomorrow, have to work. If the Thursday ride happens I'm good for that.

Poor Cam, blows 2 tubes before we even get to Pottery Rd.

We'll miss you tomorrow but I'll be up for Thursday nights through the spring/summer. This week looks like rain and it's the Collective's Seasons premier at 8 on Thursday (No Regrets in Liberty Village).

b/c he has a bent now, he's cursed. I'm on a work til 9-ish week so no DSR for me this week.
PM for Mr Glick.. Paging Mr. Glick.

Not the recumbent's fault. The rims I'm using have rim inserts that allow you to use Presta valved tubes. Apparently at the lower pressure for mtb, it allows the valve to flex and sheared a hole in two tubes. Thanks to Doug, though, who stopped then rode home and back for a tube to try to get me back on the road. Such actions restore my faith in human nature.

And anyway, it's not a "bent".

I think your beard is showing ;)

Craigslist Ad of the Week.

I wonder if the kid knows Daddy's trading his bike for a case of beer.

Foo: no, the guys in Recumbent call them 'bents.

a drunk dad and his bike is gone

that kid is having a bad day

So with the sprints that are starting this week, is there like a ride before/after? or do we just kinda meet up at the place, ride there, then head home?

DSR... damn... im gonna be too tired to ride tomorrow...
messenger bag for long hauls? or backpack... damn stupid decisions... i think the messenger bag it will be... backpack is digging in [/Thinking In Text]



http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/bik/669037525.html jesus thats a big bike... thats like a 150cm frame

some of us meet up at grange park then ride to the sprints

otherwise, you just ride there, get your ass kicked, then ride home in disgrace

Fixed


:D

what time you guys meet up?

Usually someone sees the cross and asks if they're a Christian band at this point but I'm guessing that won't happen after this particular video.

PS. Moving and then immediately getting a cold is a double-dose of pwnage. I feel like beyond ass.

i believe we meet up at 8:30 and then head out at 8:45 to get to sprints at 9 ... if there is sprints on wednesday (maybe not, it might rain) i'm sure there will be a post on DSR about meet up times

the grange meetup is usually small and on the southside of the park, like just north of urbane

I know this is a bit of a schedule conflict with D.S.R. Dirt...but....I will be heading up to Albion Hills every Tuesday for the weekly Mountain Bike Race Series. If anyone feels like a little something different on a Tuesday let me know. Part of my work duties don't cha know. Taking up 2 sweet demo bikes for folks to try (X-Prezzo Sub-5 and Specialized FSR Expert) riding the trails and B.B.Q. afterwards. The bus leaves at 4:15.
"Summer of Keith"

Ouch, Jet's colagno popped up in the jackass thread.

bah screw the jackass thread, its all washed up anyway.

until the new BB and derailleur are purchased there will be no dirt for me =(.

however im hitting the trail to north york vewwy soon to go see my doc. theres nothing like a long pretty bike ride with a purpose.

I'll come (edit: pun not intended) if Nelson sends that nice turquoise Yeti 575 with you. ;)

hommina hommina hommina

Jet! you're a trend setter!

you some how made a 2008 tarck bike in 2005!

I wish I could take the "long way to work" and have scenery like this.

Reminds me of riding through the countryside back home, too. Very nice. When I go back this year I think I'll take my bike and buy a new camera, it's been a long time since I've ridden over there.

:lol:

I still dont understand why its even in that thread.

One word. Hate. Some guys like skinny legs, other guys like em chunky. We all know the only thing on bike forms that matters is toronto fixed.... and that is pushing it ;) I <3 jet.

i'm surprised that thread wasn't shut down when the new moderator came in

word is bond!

Can I just say how awesome it is to have so many people trying to squeeze as much riding as possible into every minute of the spring/summer so far. I LOVE that we have scheduling conflicts and way too many options.

Heh, I noticed that too, I wasn't sure if I should go in and flame away or just let it go. I don't really care too much but I have posted my own GT about 5 times in the Jackass thread, just for fun :)

edit: Fack it, I am going in with a flaming sword, that thread jumped the shark about 8 months ago anyways. Wish me luck!
