I'm watching the Hatfields & McCoys show on the History Channel, and it's hard not to think of the 41 & the 33.

...and you deleted my comments on fb. Don't want to hear it next time I have to edit you on here. ;)

How can I delete your comments on FB? I do not have such powers.

They showed back up, not sure what happened. You can delete people's comments on posts that you create on there.

If Pcad gains editorial control over the content on Facebook, I'm shorting as much stock as possible.

You can delete threads, I didn't know you could delete other people's comments.

I was thinking more of something like this Exige. Only with a built Honda K series engine in it.

I think flat black is sexy. I would never own a flat black car again, but I do think it is sexy. Case in point:

You need help :twitchy:

There is cycling on the brain, then there's BF on the brain. The latter could get you locked up in a rubber room.

Facebook is such a mess, shorting 'just because' is a good reason. I am waiting for the lawsuit invitation so I can recoup my paltry investment. I could make more money in JCP right now.

That just looks unfinished. The bare carbon look is sooo 1997.

Sports cars and race bikes should have some colour to them. Rare exception: John Player Special livery.

My gut tells me that within the next X months it will be down near $20.

Disclosure: I have no financial stake in the company.

Good thing my stake in CRUS offsets my losses and then some. Up another 4.x% today - time to take some off the table, but I need my oven mitts as this stock is HOT.

I predicted the fall of Europe.

Hey, I just posted this in the mechanics forum but you guys are pretty smart. Anyone know the answers?

cut/paste:

Running 10 speed Ultegra 6700.

I feel that my rear shifting is just slightly off, sometimes I have to nudge the lever a little extra to upshift, especially when upshifting by 2 gears at once.

I vaguely recall that to dial in the RD just right, you should put it in a certain cog, maybe the 3rd smallest or 2nd smallest, then use the barrel adjuster so that it just makes the jump to the next larger cog.

Which is the correct gear to do this in? I want to say 2nd smallest ---> 3rd, is that right??

Also, when doing this fine tuning, does it really matter if the FD is on the big or small ring??

I would say either front ring would be fine, assuming you have the proper chain length. Did you come out of RD alignment due to a wreck, a wheel change, cassette or chain change, or just lots of miles?
