My chain is having issues, and near replacement. It's the HG600 shimano (105). What chain should I throw in on the merlin order to replace it with? Does it matter?

It seems I'll only get around 1500 miles out of this chain before I have to replace it (admittedly I've been riding in a lot of mud around here). Will others last longer?

The Vikes can play with a lead, but if they can't get things going early on, it can get ugly. Was a little concerned in the first quarter, too, but then Eli started distributing the ball to us with regularity and then we seemed to remember what the game plan was.

Looking forward to a swift exit in the playoffs?

The 105 should be fine unless you want lighter or more bling, I'd say.

KMC makes a nice chain too.

I'm a big fan of KMC chains.

There is a scenario where we could visit the mighty NFC East Champion Redskins in the first round...

I mean, if things bounced right early, the Vikes could be a very tough out for any of the teams present (we did play AZ down to the wire a few weeks ago, losing by 3), but yeah, I don't expect a deep playoff run.

Ditto.

Based on what I've seen, I wouldn't rule it out that you could lose. Both teams have been very up-and-down, and for all I'm not a believe in Cousins (I hop Snyder breaks the bank for him), he can put up points in a hurry at times. AP will get his, but...

We will see.

I hope the Vikings get out of it soon so I can stop hearing about them on my drive into

The Vikes have a decent chance. Green Bay has been looking ordinary lately, so next week's game should be interesting.

The Jets are hot right now.

BillyD 12-28-15 07:19 PM

So long as New England or Pittsburgh DON'T win it, I don't care who does win it.

I will refrain from making any chain recommendations.

Ordinary is extremely generous of you. They looked like a high school team on Sunday.

And as for the Jets, need I remind you that they're one week removed from barely beating the fightin' Kellen Moores?

At one time, Supposedly KMC made Shimano's chains. Can't find verification of that at the moment but I remember reading that years ago.

How about chain lube? Maybe you should start a thread.

See... the Cowboys do something? That ship is long sailed. Or see the Jets accomplish something in the postseason? That's not exactly punishment. I'd be perfectly happy for little brother to win it all, or at least send the cheaters home.

Of the teams left? I think I'd be good with that. The Steelers are almost certainly gone (they've been overrated since Tomlin took over).

Y'all need to post more. AG has been in HK for most of a week now. Lonely.
