Well which kmc chain? The $45 SL or the $35 XL?

theres no way I can afford the bling color chain that matches my bike colors ($90)...

I think I might be coming on to zwift. I just did that wringer workout. It was pretty cool on the streets of Richmond. 320w intervals with 80w in between. It nailed my heart rate zones after doing the FTP test last night. The HR trace looks like it came right out of a textbook.

Edit: Activity link: https://www.strava.com/activities/458397201/analysis (click the little clock over the graphs to see what I mean by textbook).

Get the Ultegra chain. I didn't realize it was that inexpensive. Get a missing link, and you're set.

Based on what I've seen, I wouldn't rule it out that you could lose.

As a Vikings fan, I would never rule out that we could lose, and in the most painful fashion, either.

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

I will no longer make suggestions or recommendations.

I ride the X10-SL due to weight weeniness, but that isn't required. They are all good.

So Cincy lost. "Another one down, another one down, another one bites the dust."

Now the Texans have only 9 more independent chances to make the playoffs. The plot sickens.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it - and you'd better! - is to prevent the Patriots from winning the Super Bowl. Achieve it, and fame and glory will be yours. Fail, and you're dead to me.

Still awesome unis, though.

I made my own from bar stock and old chain. Back in the freewheel days, it took two to separate cogs so we could replace individual worn out cogs.

I know, too much serious bike talk for the Addiction. :D

That is an amusing tidbit of information.

What injuries have you inflicted upon yourself with that device?

rjones28 12-29-15 08:10 AM

Taking the Colnago out today [MENTION=2795]Trsnrtr[/MENTION]?

Doug28450 12-29-15 08:15 AM

That's a minor inconvenience.

I ride through there a lot. In fact, I used to live a few blocks from there. :)

Poor people are hoping to have power by tomorrow night.

Numerous minor cog teeth cuts.

Why do the poor people have to suffer?

They can't afford to pay professionals to do it for them.

What was unusual about this is that we often lose power due to buried temporary electric lines put in in 1979. The cable has never been replaced and the insulation is deteriorating.

Anyway, despite super-saturation of the ground, we never lost power but people all around our little town did. Looking at a power outage map, we were a blessed little island of power amidst outages. :)
