i'm about to go SS .. 
I've got a busted rear der cable and am effectively SS as the front shifter is screwed in the cold..it;s old and tired. I'm 42x16-ish. I've got my single cogs to have put on the cassette and keith has a new shimano front ring/spider for me. Looking forward to ditching the gear off the bike. After that will be stiffening the front end.

I may have to break down and put MTB cranks on it
What size fork you need? I have 3 1" threaded I don't need. I could be persuaded to part with one of them.

Call me The Breeze
Nice ride yesterday, nice to meet you all!
I actually ended up on the spit again around midnight last night. Figured I had to get just a few more kms on the road bike before the snow came and I put it away for a while. Glad I did! Looks like the winter storm watch has been upgraded to winter storm/snowfall warning.

yeah, unless it starts dumping early in the evening I don't think doing a snow ride tonight makes much sense.

Tomorrow night sounds hilarious. We will just have to pick a time and place to meet. As long as it's after 8pm, I'm cool. And how about the old CV meet spot? I'm so stoked, you have no idea.
As for my SS MTB, I'm running 32/14 (2.285714285714:1) for dry roads. I may switch to my 32/16 (2:1) if it gets a bit sloppy. It's not terribly fast, but it's gets you places a lot faster than walking...which I have forgotten how to do. I'll bring it on the ride. Hope my wheel doesn't slip. My Tuggnut hasn't arrived yet.
Danhalen: Nice stop in today. I see you were still at the pump when I went home. Drunky!
P.S. Shimbot is new here, but has yet to post. Shout out! What what?

Speaking of which who wants to make a trip to London? I want to go and do the Track 1 session on a saturday. Duppy I'm pretty sure you wanted to go right? Anyone else? I don't know if we can get a booking as soon as next saturday but I'd be up for that. I might be able to get a car.

This has been quite the boozy bike riding weekend.

Holy slip and slide!
I just went out for test roll on the ATB.
I hit black ice @ 1kph.
Wiped out completely.
Bailed like a clown.
Be on the look out for dark asphalt.
It's slippery then a wet noodle in a soapy hand.
Ride safe.
Don't be a fun boy.
