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

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?

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.



New setup on the fixed gear as well. Paul levers are sexy.

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 https://www.digitaltorque.com/ddrpad/

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.
