It's the staff and attitude at Duke's that irks me, not it's location.

Hey guys,
Just arrived back in town after working the Tour of California. Had an awesome time!
If anyone wants to hang out / meet at the Bikeshow, I'll be helping at the Midweek Cycling Club table on Friday and Sunday. We'll have a Computrainer setup so you can do 30second sprints, or flying laps, or hill climbs, etc. Should be fun like.

This will be the first time i have missed the bike show in many years but maybe i'll slum around the LBS here one of those days.
Time ATAC ALUM rule. IMO.
That is all.

Dumb question time. True or False:
If I wanted to use a hub/sprocket with a 42mm chainline and it's a flip-flop, and my chainring is too far out, my only options are chainring spacers or a shorter BB.
bonus- if the answer is "false" what are my other options?
Thanks! (I'm hoping to get this figured out before the bike show so I can finish my shopping list!)

I can't remember which side my ring is on now... I'll have to check to see if I can tweak it or new BB here I come!

I would go with the BB. That's how you initially set up for a good chainline when building a bike. Seems like the more expensive but more permanent and proper solution.

Another quick bike maintenance question: I now have all the parts for my Ciocc road bike and when I am running the cables, is it necessary to have one of the cable-pull tools? I don't have that tool, I was just going to rely on brute strength (ha!) to get the cables tight, is this a bad idea? Thanks for any help.
