If it makes a difference, it got moved when I was fitted and started doing that. Also, I will try that (not the new cleat part, the others)

this stuff is cheap and works for about 2 rides per spraying.

How do you define "squawk" in this context?

Gratuitous posting, very low signal-to-noise.

If your S2 has a stack of spacers and a stem like that, you should give up now.

And make sure you keep the reflectors on.

Looks like my wife's bike. I think the relatively long legs / short trunk thing applies to a lot of women.

Man, I gotta admit, I agree with Slothy. This SRAM stuff is awesome.

I spent about an hour on a S3 with Red last Friday and didn't like it. The shifting was unnatural for me, but I suppose that would change with mileage.

But your bike, that's straight sexy.

A race bike deserves better.

the original image said LOL WUT, just an internet meme/joke and someone modified it into the mexican version (I'm hispanic but not mexican). I just put it there as an easy way to spot my posts.

Thanks. I still haven't gotten completely used to the shifting, but the ergonomics, sprint shifting, and weight have won me over. It was also a lot easier to tune than Shimano. Not that Shimano was hard, this was just easier. The shifting will become natural soon, probably by the end of the week.

Correct. Had one for a long, long time. A few weeks ago, we rode with the old timers who rode up to Piermont back in the early 80's way before 9W became the new Fred Superhighway (© Sir P-Clown). Btw pcad, did you know that NYU now has a team, too? A fellow alumna of mine from undergrad was their coach last year.

Unfortunately, I gave the NYU kids a good whooping the last time i raced with them. In the circuit race, I broke clear with 4 miles left and soloed away to get first. In the crit, i got beat at the line by a wheel after leading out everyone. In both races, i had no team support while NYU had four kids in the race. You should give them a good whopping and tell them to HTFU. Actually, don't do that as i'm looking forward to give them a whooping again next season.



There are also free nyc-themed condoms, but that's only for students. You can always get free paper from the pinko commie organizations on campus. Other than that, everything costs $$$, which is ironic for a place as pinko commie as this (being highly sarcastic here)

Is NYU's mascot a Violet or a Bobcat? I still can't figure it out and I went there.

Kids? Well, I guess some of us....

Crash, is your position part of original enlistment, or is this a carry over?

Also, I know you probably wouldn't say so, but I think it takes big ones to do what you do. It's appreciated.

At first, I didn't see that as a reply. I thought maybe you did it again. Then I thought, what does she have against lizards....

Tulex 08-03-10 09:17 AM

Do you guys remember the running mate that Ross Perot had? That guy in Tenn. reminds me a little of him, but instead of old, he seems very wasted.

I can't speak for Jen, but those damn things keep trying to sell me car insurance.

It's funny... I actually have a little lizard tattoo on my back. Now it's a memorial.

Speaking of big ones, a family member of mine experienced "testicular explosion" this weekend. He races motorcycles, crashed and went airborne, and came down on the gas tank.

Riding motorcycles is dangerous enough, but racing them is just psychotic. He's decided he should wear a cup from now on.

God, I actually cringed when I read that. Ouch.

Dang! They closed "base layer" before I could get in a response...
