Yeah...that's what I thought. Nevertheless, I'll know tomorrow morning.

I will say that sometimes the valve stem gets bent and prevents the tip from sealing even when screwed tight. I use a needle nose pliers to straighten it out. Works most of the time.

Zone 2. Endurance training. It sometimes sucks, and is literally a pita (to quote Herbie), but in the long run, it will pay dividends.

Damn, I knew that should have Strava'd it.

I'm beat. After about 4.5 hours of sawing and planing today, both slabs are close to the final spec. Need to work on the leg/post/things tomorrow and maybe do a test fitting to see how it's coming together.

So we now are told by justfly that the bank declined our charge and they won't give us our tickets. I wasted lots of time on the phone with their call center explaining that the card was declined because they tried to charge us TWICE, and that ONE of the charges was approved. They said that they did not get any payment (apparently it has been approved but not "posted" which takes 2-3 days) and asked us to give our credit card again so they can charge it again. I am NOT comfortable with that, so it sounds like I will have to dispute the charge once it's posted unless the stupid ticket agent figures out the screwup.

Anyone have an experience like this? Certainly not the customer service I am used to from Performance Bike....

....I've done two credit card disputes. do everything from now on via e-mail, keep them . make a special folder in your e-mail account. When the time comes, forward them all as a record of the proceedings to your credit card dispute handler personage. The phone stuff is so much he said/she said that it just confuses things. You should have little trouble, other than the hassle of opening the dispute and documenting the events in sequence. there will be records on the dupicate charge and cancellation, and no tickets is not tickets, because notickets.

Say wut? How is he being attributed to me? You are right about one thing though. He likes his positions just about as much as I like mine. Makes for good reading.

now you got me all paranoid, im gonna have to re weigh once a week to make sure they dont break the 1400g mark

Mumonkan 11-13-15 07:18 PM

in related wheel news: i added the lightbicycle rims to my wheel weight spreadsheet and i would lose over a pound rotational weight per wheel, and adding a dyno in front and notoriously heavy rohloff would only gain me overall 1.7lbs

goddamnit. i need to start selling stuff.

...I still think you could take him, but you'd have to have refs to call all the logical fallacy stuff. :D

Sounds really sketchy. I'd begin the dispute process pronto and repurchase the tickets either through a travel agent or on the airlines website. I don't like messing around, especially with international travel where your name should be identical to the passport, etc. I recently did a dispute and the CC company was very helpful. The dispute process does take a while.

Can we wear satin shorts, high top shoes and those fancy robes. I am totally up for that. This wearing a suit and standing in front of a podium is for the birds.

Yes it can be slow, but once you register your dispute properly, the disputed amount is segregated and doesn't show up in your credit balance or required payment. So it is fairly painless to wait for resolution.

I think you could take him wearing the outfit you were born in.

Yup, I talked to the CC company but they said I can't start the dispute process until the charge is "posted."

I had thought that these financial deals go through instantly, but apparently the "approve/deny" is instant but the actual posting/funds transfer takes 3 days.
