so it was fine for 6 mos? then fail fail fail? hmmm does sound like the chain, does it have more slack than it used to? Did you take the wheel off a couple weeks ago perchance?

You could get a new chain for under 10 bucks and see if that solves the problem.

I tightened the chain and tensioner and no problems on the way home. I'm going to get a new chain and see how that works out.

It sounds like it's the chain based on this and your other thread. If your chainring isn't too chewed up it should be an easy fix

Chainring is 6 months old in still in pristine shape. I'm 99% sure it is the chain.

Sounds like you might have had too much slack in it before when it was jumpin'.

Holy hell it is COLD

Why cant i find a IS integrated headset anywhere. I tried 4 different shops and they gave me zero stack.:roflmao2: Im starting to hate headsets lol.

You mean when I wipe my nose with my glove, and it freezes while still on my glove, it's not normal? :lol: (Yes, this happened tonight...)

Wasn't so bad when I was coming back down tonight but I was home early at around 5:30, so was still 'warm'. I know it's gone an extra level of cold when my drinks start to freeze. Last Friday my bottle had frozen and it took 30 minutes of being directly on a radiator to thaw. Yeah, that windchill kicked the proverbial bottom.

Another tell tale sign is when I 'grow' a frost beard on my balaclava from all of the breath/moisture from my mouth/nose :)

atleast it's on the balaclava... the moustache part of me beard froze today from breath moisture hahaha

Another wheel question... i know your not supposed to reuse rims.... but can i lace a new rim onto a hub that i've been running for a while??

Ouch! I get cracked skin when the moisture freezes on my nostrils and goes to town :S

Yeah - cavernmech rebuilt an old hub off my roadbike onto a new rim. Assuming no damage, you should be fine.

i've bought a pair at curbside and urbane has them from time to time...

yup...that was a slightly drunken duppy after his work christmas party...whaddya know...
beer and wine dont mix after all ;)

He lives!!!

Was anyone else at Rolly's Garage last night? Kenny Hotz showed up!!!

Hey degrassi- next weekend they're doing the dj sk8 at harbourfront with celebrity djs. 20de is degrassi night (I assume it'll be spike and the brunette.)

While we're name dropping, i fixed david byrne's bike a while back.

David Byrne = totally ****ing awesome.

That's flippin' cool!

I made breakfast for Alan Cox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Cox) when I worked as a short order cook (he had a full nerd entourage, btw). I didn't actually tell him I recognized him though because that would have been far too difficult for anyone to explain or comprehend at that hour of the morning.

Brunette = Caitlin. Yeesh!

it was on the tip of my tongue!

ha ha nice man... i figured sort of... that was one creative swerve across the street behind my jeep :thumb:
Did you notice the huge black jeep that almost rear ended the car at the light?guess that's what i get for concentrating more on lookin at bikes than driving

I worked in a nice club back in the day and served Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman when they were living in Toronto. They just walked in on their own, no entourage or handlers or anything, it was weird. They were really nice and she is drop dead gorgeous in person.

my glove froze to my lip the other night... i was texting while riding and had my glove in my mouth and it got stuck...




i hate cold
