Rotor introduced it recently, half the pros have it now, weighs 10 grams, stops your chain from dumping off the little ring (happens to the best of us, really sucks in a race or fast ride).

I don't have much of a problem with it, perhaps because I seldom use the Fred ring.

thank you! i keep getting aholes telling me my dreailleur must be badly set up. yeah right. i am obsessive about fiddling until it is just allowing the minimum of function without extra space. my chain suck happened chainging down whilst under heavy load because i came to a stop on an uphill leaving chain on the big ring and needed to get started again and couldn't turn the crank. stupid i know.

Any gear you are turning is by definition a Fredly Gear.

I'm thinking of doing some bicycle touring in North Korea this summer.

Any recommendations?

If I rent a bike from a local shop, it may look like this:

"Soldiers inspecting a battered German bicycle with tyres made of springs due to the rubber shortage in World War I. Location probably France."


At least I won't have to worry about carrying a spare tube.

Or maybe I'll go with a folding bike for travel.

Time for the 24 finale. I'm only watching in the hopes they finally kill off Jack Bauer's annoying daughter.

I ran over and got peppered with dog crap while mtbing home today through some grassy areas. God damn people, clean up your effing poop.

#Mets fans check out the Empire State Building tonight. It will be lit in orange & blue for the Mets winning this weekend's Subway Series.
Why does the NY Mets Twitter page say "We believe in comebacks?" When was the last time they came back from anything?

Kick butt! The TennisVols are playing for the national championship tomorrow!

My neighbors are dead (cemetary), so no worries about their dogs abusing my yard. But the deer sometimes steel my apples.

I'd ship you a square foot of it but USPS would probably confiscate it as "suspicious". :lol:

A character who hasn't been seen since episode 1 of this season. Interesting.

She left an impression. God help me what a dumb show. Idiotic till the end. They get points for consistency. But it's never over. They're already talking about a friggin movie.
