I also tend to jack up the cabling or something. Without fail, I always hit a snag when working on my bike.

Don't get a bike with internal routing. Last time I had to run cables I required to clothes hangers, vacuum cleaner and duct tape. but thats mostly because I'm an idiot.

This multi-party election is fascinating.

I may emigrate to England and start a U.K. ********* party. The platform will be a severe austerity package--e.g., two months of paid vacation for everyone instead of three. That should whip up some good riots.

Hey Pcad,

Nice thread fail.

I have had spokes loosen without breaking. I just tighten them up. Yes it does make a weird sound. The first time it happened I couldn't figure it out and was horrified to learn what it was once I got done my ride. I was sure it would break, but miraculously My fat ass has never broken a spoke even thought I believe all of my wheels are 28 spokes or less.

I've had two seat post failures - should I take it as a sign that I'm too fat for this sport?

I've never seen a seat post fail.

First was the bonding between the carbon post and the alloy clamp - it didn't fall off, but was starting to rotate. Second was a poorly tapped threading on the seat clamp, so only one saddle rail was being held on to. Both were happily replaced, and I did get a new saddle out of it.

Are we terrorized yet?

Correct.

Someone can post their eating status or something. Why should the 33 waste all the BikeForums bandwidth?

Got the ST back from the new Honda dealer after the 16,000 mile service. Oil and filter, valve adj., plugs, fluids, etc. They do appear to have been very thorough and competent. The bike did run a bit better afterwards. Man that motorcycle is buttah.

Another lonely Friday night?

Pizza and wings night. The meals are rarely nutritious if I'm in charge of the menu.

You don't get 300+ posts in a thread like this by being popular.

P.S. It sounds like you all are getting fatter by the post.
