Ahh, what a lovely day for a game of golf.

Nuit Blanche was fun, and we only managed to hit up the A zone to some degree, the kids and I. Out til almost three am. Is it me or was the quality of the art uuuum somewhat lacking .. maybe to accommodate the bigger masses? Some of the stuff was so inconveniently installed you had to line up around the block and wait almost an hour to pass through/by in a crush of people... hardly the way I like to absorb my art. With dragging kids around as well, if you can't engage them you lose them , and you just might lose them forever in terms of wanting to go out to these kinds of things. Zombies were a total let down, we saw a couple but no indication as to where they were to be or what time they were happening, no organization as to where to queue up of zombification. We left that area disappointed.
Stares at MTB fork..damn you why can't you be a lighter stiffy fork? CX boys, how many more local-ish citizen accepting races, as well, store wise, who's got the skinniest knobblies I might mount on an MTB for such funnery? Moved my seat forward substantially this morning, my back says YAY! What fork did you get? |

I won't tell you what my handicap is for ball golf. But no, disc golf. A beautiful day on the island with tomorrow looking good too.
And what's with squareheads in their lowrider cars with Canadian Tire tribal tattoo stickers on it that they think it's funny to head fake their cars at you? Seriously. |
Toronto island disc golf course is so much fun. Last time i played i hit 2 baskets from the shorts.

Nice work on the top 10s K, way to kickass :D My cog is fairly well stuck on my hub, took it to West Side Cycle yesterday and it wasn't budging. Stupid coldy/flu junk is always a pain in the ass, too. Darn season changes! :p |

Ok I haven't tried them and they are probably crap, but I'm proud to say the DIY headset press, cup remover and crown race pusher did work... Hooray! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3119/...e280c1de08.jpg Thanks to Dave Moulton for the idea. |
Let me know how the slip-joint plier lockring wrench works. I was thinking of making one similar but was thinking the ground tip may shear off.
|
I'll try on my urbane built wheel, but I doubt it'll work... that bugger is tight...

Hmmm, I may try the reverse rotafix - I suspect this sucker might need the aid of a blowtorch as it's been winter ridden and had no grease on it when I put it on the hub (hindsight is 20/20, eagerness FTL). Thanks for all the tips, I tried the wall-leverage method at home, and William at WSC cranked on it a bit and he seems to think bathing it in WD40 and trying again after a few days may help. I've got to get another wheel built up so I don't have to keep using this one (I just can't bear to ride my road bike right now).
Reverse rotafix and/or taking it to another shop is about my only option other than the blowtorch - which I frankly don't want to do unless it's a last resort. The hub is fixed/free too, and I really don't want to ruin it or the fixed side if it can be helped. |

william seems to know what he's doing fixed gear wise - i think the female mechanic there rides track too. i would try the reverse rotafix thing - it really is way more leverage than a chain whip. just be careful to grip the rim and not the tire else you can rip that sucker off!

Good call, anti-scratch measures are always worth repeating :)
nerdsgirth (or if anyone can holler at him) - long shot, but could this be your saddle on this bike? http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/bik/871354732.html I don't know how many people run a chopped Brooks. |
I think Nerd's saddle was black, but good lookin' out.
I like how there is a back brake just sitting on the frame without any cable and without any brake lever ;) In all seriousness, I think I sold that guy this bike over the summer....do you think this guy will sell the bike for that price? I should really consider finding cheap track wheels, popping them onto a frame and selling them for this kind of money....wow. |
