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.

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.

Ugh. Major hassle/fiasco. My wife booked flights online for us to Seville (Spain) on a site I don't know well, called justfly.com. The prices looked great. We put in our credit card info. Apparently the company tried to charge our credit card TWICE (9 seconds apart). The bank called us and we said to let the first one go through but not the second. 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....

...hey Robert ( [MENTION=183557]rpenmanparker[/MENTION] ), where in hell did you dig up that BrianRatliff guy ? He's a trip.
I bet you could take him in a fair fight, though. #rational_discourse

Brown Jersey Winner
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.

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.

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.

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.
