Yeah, I've thought of that, and my plan is to write "THE" really small on the corner of the patch.

So, I'll say it a patch for "The Police."

For the Nishiki....Check.

i like the "po-po". but that's hardly going to intimidate anyone... except duppy.

v brake shoe pins are SUCH a pain in the ass. I hate them. That is all.

:eek: watch out for the one-time!!!

As long as you install the pins perpendicular to the pad they shouldn't go too far in. Easy to get out with awl or needlenose. But yes...they suck a$$. Why don't they use the tiny allen bolt like road pads?

Getting the old ones out is OK... but getting the new ones in I never have any luck. Especially with the rock-hard ceramic pads that have no give at all :(

I can never get the pin to come out the other side... I'm almost ready to switch to discs just to avoid changing brake pads! I'd have to buy a new frame though.

+1 for mothers dumplings the kids and i ate until we were stuffed like dumplings...thanx for the recommendation!....dalu noodles, fried rice and dumplins...yummmmmmmmm

Duppy I can't ride tomorrow morning, gotta rest my knee plus I have to get some writing done. Sorry man

no worries bredz...im gonna try and go for a morning ride...nuttin hectic...maybe round 9:30 or so...

enjoy your rides people who are riding. i'm working on homework in the morning then eating ham with the family in celebration of jesus or rabbits or whatever the hell this holiday is about.

I am with ya bro....casual cruise?
I love I-Tunes/Sharepod! That is all.

What ever happened to Darkmother**********???? and it's freezing out there

casual cruise is the order of the day...with a little bit of hammering for good measure!

this kid in my wife's class (she teaches grade 7) comes up to her the other day and gives her a present; it's an 8gb mp3 player, an LG JM53 (his dad works for LG, a freebie i'd imagine). so naturally i've been hogging it since she brought it home. what is it with men and electronics?

hahahahahahaha go get your own!!

i don't plan on giving it back...

jeebus.. what ever happened to giving your teacher an apple? (and I don't mean Apple Computers :P)

Go back to bed you luddite :P

yeah, those days are over. it's amazing some of the stuff she tells about these kids, maturity-wise. i don't mean the good kind, either; i'm talking violence, sex etc.
anyway, if the kids want to give her electronics, i'm happy.

anyone get out for a ride this morning? the snow put me off, personally. i'm here drinking coffee and making banana bread.

brad and I are about to go for a ride in the Don.. just waiting for him to get here and constantly re-thinking my choice of clothing (too much? or not enough?).

well, i've got two sweaters and a touque on... and i'm inside!! stupid badly insulated addition. (he just went out the door, btw.) have fun.

tell me about it. my apartment is essentially a covered patio built onto the back of the house. insulation, not so much.

wes, i think on a day like today, erring on the "too much" clothing theory is a good choice.

survivor man says: in cold temperatures, getting sweaty can mean death!!!!

mmm drafty...nothing like having your fingers slowly turn to icicles as you geek out on the interweb...

I LOVE survivor man's you sweat you die line. I live in my basement so I don't have insulation problems, but I spent a winter in an attic that never got above 10 degrees. It was not much fun.

PS: Lunch anyone?

I work deep under ground below yonge and dundas not much heat there and the summer humidity kicks butt

well i'm not sweating sitting here in my apartment.

actually that's the only episode i've ever seen, but it stayed with me and since i'm bored and lonely i thought i'd share.

you could try dancing in that Kilt ! that would build up a sweat:)
