You know that thing people do when they start working out and they go way overboard the first time because they want to get much more fit quickly and then end up just ****ing themselves up and hobbling around for days/weeks after? Ya, don't do that with building up your wrist strength ... it's not exactly the most solid part on your body.

I have half a dozen old messenger bags...you are welcome to borrow one for as long as you need it. Bonus for being in a messenger related t.v. spot and not having a brand new bag like every other one I have ever seen.

I have a brand new IRO crankset...165mm...46t ring...still in the box. yours for $50.

What's your problem with Jessica Simpson, man?

just what i'm trying to avoid!

ha ha thanks keith... i'm still holding out for the holster + push combo, but i'll keep your offer in mind too. very tempting to come up with an unscheduled delay in the production though!

btw it's for a film that will eventually be in one festival or another (enviro/bike/short) so i do mean what i say about you guys being in the audience!

Done. Awesome :D

I'm heading out the door to catch Bad Religion but I'll PM you tommorow at work. That's rad dude, thanks

Nothing...she is so hardcore she has 2...count em...2...brand new messenger bags.

Bad religion in town eh? Haven't seen them in a coons age.

im more worried about knee muscles then wrist ones, just from my past experience with wrists and ankles. When i lived in england i played field hockey at a national level, one of the many ways to rebuild muscle was to use a heavier stick at the beginning of the season then change to the nice one when muscles were there.

mind you i also rock climb so i have some wrist strength, just more support muscles, then quick moving ones.



i was more concerned about wood breaking quicker or something like that. :) always nice to know someone is there trying to stop me from hurting my self.

A hollow tube is stronger than a rod of equivalent diameter, so you might look for old golf clubs. There's usually tons of those at most thrift stores.

I found an old 42t chainring that fits my crank and I kinda like 42X15....I spin a lot going down hills but I think my knees will be a lot happier this way. Thanks for all the input everyone, the bike will be perfect once I figure out this mystery creaking noise.

wow.

Ahhh, the mysterious creak, wont to make a grown man cry. My wifes bike took forever for me to figure out the creak. After checking the stem, bars, seatpost, saddle rails, b/b, pulling and regreasing the threads on the b/b, replacing the b/b and swapping the pedels I finally figured it out. All five chainring bolts were loose. Drove me up the freakin wall trying to figure it out.


Good luck.

I have a whole set of golf clubs here, ripe for the mallet making.

Haha, I didn't think you suddenly turned into a racist ... I was amazed that you threw down a grandpa-ism like that completely out of the blue. :)

it's the mustache - sometimes while brad is sleeping it sneaks online and drops gems like that. he wakes up none the wiser. true story. :)

realllly......




how would one attach the head part to the shaft part?

*waits for the bad jokes*

I think it is the seatpost or the seat. Someone here had a creaking problem that was resolved with some grease on the rails and a lot of it on the post itself, I will try it tomorrow. But yeah, it is maddening, the bike is silent except for that creak....I even hear it now that I am off the bike, it will haunt my dreams tonight, no doubt, hehheh :twitchy:

Here's a thread that may be worth looking at.

I was just thinking about your situation the other day..

I had come to the conclusion, spinning is less hard on the knees but makes your thighs crazy sore.... if your seat is too low.

In case the Brothers Kaisers were wondering who the *F* yelled their names two nights ago while riding at Dundas and Sherbourne, it was me.

:) You two are so easy to pick out in a crowd.

You're very welcome.

My moustache has an onion on it's belt.

Hehe - I considered yelling out a "Hey!" last night, must've been post DSR ride at Bathurst/College as a few peeps including the bros rounded the Sneaky Dee's corner going east as I was heading west. :)
