Night!

Get better yo.

"A Cervelo S2, a Park Tool floor pump, some sorta fancy pants sport bike... you're clearly a woman of means and taste. "


I'm a man of wealth and taste.

Reality check.. getting shelled on "the wall" coming home last Saturday... note the large guy I'm OTB with.... but just wait, one day I tell you, one day.

Hey nice effort man! I felt bad at :45.... When you hear that you know the ole lungs are BURNIN!

Love the Alphonse quote btw. He inspires me.

Hey guys. TopGear here. I made this account just to say...
I use this electric pump I bought from Costco. Works like a charm, although it is quite loud.
I can pump my tires in seconds using it, and best of all, it's effortless.

Back to lurking now.

Should have drafted off him then attacked, while simultaneously giving him the look.

Okay off to bed for real now.

Where's "the wall" at?

Are you the guy with a "6" on the back?

Me. I'm lacking one helmet mounted camera.

Duplicate user names is usually a bad idea.

Your presence here argues otherwise.

That's okay. I only made this account for that one post.
And I'm banned on my other account...or something. Lol.
Costco is good. And I should have named this account two posts.
If this account gets banned too, than I don't care.

You got banned?

One hand: handlebar.

Other hand: camera.

Ouch I didn't know I did something wrong.
I even like the vols. Hardesty was the man.

No helmet cam necessary

Uhh...I think I did.
I can still make posts, and my post count goes up, lol.
But nobody can see them (I suppose that's a good thing).

[Psst. It's a joke. If you had real taste you wouldn't be hanging out here.]

Nevermind. Guess he is banned.

[Ohhhhhhh] *cough* yeah obviously....

Cough reminded me of this:

Wow, that was quick! We are most certainly being watched and cared for.

Anyway, I just signed on to post this one bit of advice. And that is to remind everyone to not take any wooden nickles. Later.

Sleep. Oíche mhaith

I second that. I haven't had one for over six years now. As a double bassist I kinda miss it sometimes but I work it out. I used to live in 11206 and yeah, the rates I was quoted alone was enough to keep me far, far away.

It's this ride with ABRT. The guy with the 6 is my limey friend Dave. My camera is on the my bike recording only my gasping. The wall is a short (~0.3mile) 15ish% climb (drops off to a false flat) that comes at around mile 40 (doesn't look very dramatic it the video, but you can hear me gasping and Dave's bike starts creaking). It's after having done two longer fast climbs up to Fairhaven and then up Lietch Road... I was pre-baked.

Saturday Ride
Time: 9am (summer), 10 am (winter)

The Saturday ride is just shy of 60 miles and travels to south county, mostly on back roads, through North Beach and back with a stop at the Dash-In at the corner of Old Solomon's Island Rd and MD 260. The pace is anywhere from 18-21 mph (2:45 to 3:15 pedalling time). The first half of the ride usually stays together for the most part or regroups at the Dash-In and very often on the second half the ride will split into various groups.

jen the pump looks fine and probably works fine you may just not be strong enough to pump it. My wife can't get here tires past 70 or so. Take it with you tomorrow for your practice and have someone help you to confirm it works, but you might just need to bulk up .

(you could try to find a better pump for your needs. the tube diameter (and height) is larger and smaller between different pumps. The more volume per pump the more force is required. So while I may like a short fat pump because I can fill up a tube in 8 pumps if the force required for the last 2 pumps are more force than you can exert (your entire weight) it won't help you. Since most pumps are the same(ish) height the ones with the smaller inner chambers are easier to pump, you just need to pump them more times.) This is also why pocket pumps take forever, because to make them require a reasonable force to get to high pressure the chamber diameter is tiny.

What pump did you use before and why not just use that? If your previous one didn't have a gauge you may actually be ok down at 60 psi for your weight. Try it on your elle and see what the new pump says
