You should be able to buy one without splicing it yourself, Active surplus probably has them. How many drives do you have in there? I've got 2 drives, a DVD, CD and floppy drive powered in my box...

Socks don't count. Seriously, I have gads of stems sitting around from past fitting sessions. Let me know what you need and I'll probably have something sitting around.

9 Speed?....pffft. Sorry the ghost of Jit got me for a sec there. NICE! Whatever you do don't use anything but Campy compatible cables in those.

I went out shopping yesterday up in Woodbridge with some friends and we were in Canadian Tire. So I decided to test ride a few bikes, and while doing that I noticed something weird. Canadian Tire has extra-long (71-91mm) non-recessed sidepull brakes for like $11. I've been looking for them on my single speed I'm building. I bought some on ebay, but I picked these up too.

They also have shorter ones.

I'm sure they aren't amazing brakes, but they'll do the job.

cavit8 06-15-07 09:03 AM

Yes, I put the extra hand in the freezer, never know when I might need it. The levers are relatively jit proof as they're 2004 and so can be retrofitted to 10 speed. Not as bling as buying 10 speed new from the store, but I've never been one to feel the need for bling. I prefer to use my cash for other things...

The pinarello build is almost complete... rear derailleur is in the mail, front is closing on ebay, and if I can get the Chris King headset without someone sniping me, I'll be pretty much set.

My roommate is getting new wheels for his mountain bike to make them more road worthy. If I put a road cassette on (12-24 or something) is that going to cause huge problems with either his derailer or chain since he currently has an 11-32?

He wants to be able to switch the wheels depending upon whether he is going off road or on.

I have an 11-23 on my "city" bike which is an old mountain bike without any problems. He might have to tweak the rear derailleur a bit when swapping wheels but no big deal.

Problem solved. The guy I got it from has a cable for me... he just forgot to give it to me. For now I just stole the power from my floppy drive, I don't think I'll be needing that anytime soon. :)

Check at Cycle Therapy and/or Velotique. They both have rental libraries.

sweep242 06-15-07 09:28 AM

Or if you’re familiar with bit torrent's you could D/L it & don’t feel guilty about it.

I'm pretty sure there are some web designer types on here - since you just said so. Not sure if any of you are looking for such work, but we're currently hiring:

http://www.muchmusic.com/aboutus/cooljobs/

I'd prefer to stay away from using any sort of head hunter types so I'm digging through resumes. If you have one, fit the bill and are interested, I'd love to get you in for an interview.

Being a bike fan is a definite plus as you'll be interviewed by myself and Fuzzz :D

shapelike 06-15-07 10:23 AM

Well, if anyone sees a mid-30s white dude in black jeans/t-shirt/ball cap on a bright red Lemond Tourmalet road bike, looking generically sketchy and not exactly in roadie scum attire please call the cops and us here at the shop (416) 778-6473. The bike is stolen and was seen heading west on Queen St. this morning (all the usual suspects and everyone I know at other shops has been contacted).

PS. He/they had the proper tools to cleanly remove multiple locks from multiple doors. Yay.
