Perfect day for riding or walking, worst day to be in a car. Traffic was at a standstill along Bloor west because St.Clair was closed for most of the morning due to a bank robbery PLUS there was the war protest around Queen's Park. I almost felt bad for drivers today :)

Danhalen and I nearly got taken out by a lady backing her car out of a parking lot + talking on her cellphone + not looking behind her. Allstar!

Pretty weather! Whee!

Shamil, that's pretty much the cutest child in the whole world.

Also, I didn't break my hand this time but I knocked out another car on the way home.

What's up with the "my vehicle represents my penis and my inner child - by even touching it you have ***** my soul" routine? And how is that complete ****ing rage black-out always followed by the person turning around and using their car as a battering ram?

I haven't lol'd at DDR since watching a 350lb 5'11" ginger kid go at it in an arcade. Drivers today were extra special in the core - Bloor was a joke of construction and awful, awful traffic. Scarborough was nicer riding territory!

o0o

when im better i might have to take you up on this. I've got two sea kayaks, a Capella 167 (or 163) and a quest (i think), available to me through work.

What brakes are those? They look great

operator 03-15-08 06:47 PM

They sort of look like the tetkros

From your store too.

I_bRAD 03-15-08 07:02 PM

Have you tried them yet?

pyze-guy 03-15-08 07:03 PM

And some more. Cannondale badboy. Origin8 dirtdrops, canti's, barcons. New drivetrain as well, from 9 to 8 speed cassette,works better with the friction shifters. Will finish the taping after I finalize the bar/brake position.

Yes, they seem to work pretty well so far.

cavit8 03-15-08 08:23 PM

Those are the wide profile canti's, yes? Very nice. Maybe I'll retire my old ShimaNo ones.

Duppy, I am so jealous of Gabster's hair... I wish I had cool hair like that. And you need to blow the dust of your toolset http://www.digitaltorque.com/ddrpad/

shapelike 03-15-08 09:00 PM

See also the Tektro mini v-brakes. I'm going to try out both those and the new wiiide Tektro cantis this year on the Rob Roy and see which works better for what I do.
