How do you run out of square tapper BBs at a shop like that? It's almost like saying they ran out of inner tubes...

"The jerk store called, they're all out of you!" :lol:

Well, the upside is that after putting everything back together and taking a look at my chainline, I realized that the crap touro chainring I have on there is out of round enough that I don't think 2mm is going to make a difference. Meh.

Dear Faceless Masses,
You know how with Crank Brothers pedals you can clip in by pulling your foot back across the pedal in addition to the typical method of pushing your foot forward into it? Are there any other MTB pedals in production out there that can do the same thing? I'm at a loss to come up with one. Fondest regards, - Mike |
yuh yo!
putting this out on all frequencies... safety meeting riverdale...west siiiiiiiiiiiiiiide...should be there between 5.30-6 myself...look for a bench with bikes and a big bald headed degenerate (me!) -one! |
Hehe ... I just jotted down "SAFETY!" on my wrist in the gap between my watch tanline and my glove tanline. Hopefully I'll spot that as I'm doing errands and remember to pop by.

Me too. :)

Meeting my buddy near Castle Frank, will drop down by the park after, heading out NOW!
|
anyone got a 17t or 16t cog and lockring for sale?
|
Sorry I missed the safety meeting and any riding today, but I had to head up to Peterborough on Friday night to take my G1 exit road test. Wish I had my cross bike up here - the weather is fine :)
|
For anyone who might be out and about this afternoon, I think I'm going to head down Taylor Creek to the Don and out to the spit. I'll be on my Nagasawa.
|
Well, it wasn't a bad ride today, except for the hordes with squeaky drivetrains riding in very slow packs. I rode like I'll be drinking tonight - alone.

Depressing? I'm my own best drinkin' buddy!
Turned an awful lot of heads when I opened my car up trying to make the beer store before 5. Made it with only seconds to spare. I had the windows down and shocked myself at the howl it can make. |
Is it a good howl or a bad howl? When I had a car my muffler fell off once and I got a lot of mean stares ;)
|
I got new cables this year on my bike, and now I think the rear cable has stretched and my rear derailer isn't shifting great. Is there an easy way to adjust for what's really just cable stretch?

So is it mostly just messengers who do alley cats in this city or did I just luck out with my first one? Based on everything I've seen online from other cities, alleycats seem to attract a lot more casual looking cyclists than you'd expect at a bike race. I get to the race on friday, and of a group of about thirty I'm one of maybe two or three who aren't working messengers. Is that typical here?
Not that I mind, couple of the dudes were really nice and I did ride back across the city with another dude who was showing me how to spot gaps and cut through cross traffic. I also got to see him get hit by his third car of the night, which involved getting caught in some streetcar tracks and then rear ended by a cabbie which he somehow rode out and didn't go down at all, which was a bit nuts |

Eh, I've been riding enough that I know my limits and there was once or twice I was on his wheel and he said "we're good let's go!" and I saw no gap whatsoever and stopped for traffic before going through a few seconds later. Like you said, dude got hit three times in a night after all. Some people are more comfortable getting hit by cars I guess

It's actually a particularly good one if you're into that. The AMG engineers did a nice job with the exhaust.

I'm just a bit old to engage in (much) anti-social behaviour any more, so I had forgotten what it sounds like. It's also a little difficult to be a hooligan with Jazz 91.1 playing on your car stereo.
