I've been riding race bikes daily for 20 years and I've never even heard of what happened to my rear wheel this morning ever happening. The freewheel mechanism on my rear Williams 38 went into vapor lock descending a hill and sucked the chain into the rear wheel. Turns out the bike was rideable, but it was difficult. Like a fixed gear except you can forget to pedal, particularly on downgrades, and then you get near-instant terminal chain suck. I rode back west about 5miles (concentrating hard to keep the crank spinning on the long downhills, partially riding the brakes) and Mrs. Pcad came and drove me home. Then I swapped wheels and rode another 45 miles.
Probably a vapor locked free hub pawl. I have a spare free hub.

I dont think you'd have those kinda problems if you road with Campagnolo and Cinelli .

this thread is as mind numbingly stupid and awful as the eurovision song contest going on right now.

I rode by this thing today:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_W...rations_Center
Though I didn't see squat besides the sign at the entrance and a bunch of barbed wire fence. It's about a 1400 foot climb to the top of the hill, so I wonder how deep that bunker goes.

It's worth noting that a Quarq is more expensive than what I paid for the entire rest of my bike...minus the wheel upgrade. This sport is stupid sometimes.

Oh wow do those look good.
On that note, for those who have lost weight: I feel like when I stop attempt to losing weight (I've lost just about my goal of 25 pounds, and am slim now, so I'm good) I will gain weight. I want to stay the same. How is that possible? I feel like there are two options: Lose or gain.

I encountered the worst bike salesman of all time today btw. I was at Performance helping my sister buy an entry level hybrid/cruiser bike. Within 5-10 minutes he told us about how he was fired from another local bike shop, how he wears a full blue kit and everyone calls him the smurf because he is short (he was quite portly, so I doubt he actually rides), and the kicker: he told my sister that women's bike seats are wider because "they have larger pelvises, and they have larger pelvises to support child birth..you know, the uterus, a baby has to come out of there." I have no idea what kind of idiot thinks of bringing up a woman's uterus when he is trying to sell a woman a bike.

my right ass cheek is slightly scraped and turning black and blue. God I love my mountian bike only 8 miles but 1000 feet ascent, felt good. It was a bit wet. Ate it twice, once on mud, once on a bridge. (the wood was a lot worse than I thought)
