The standoff was over $10. I gave compelling reasons for the $10 reduction.

Give him a deadline: "My final offer expires and will be rescinded in 24 hours."

Like WhiFi said, if he hasn't had any other compelling offers in 3 weeks, you should take charge.

I have this sneaky suspicion he won't be throwing a vote in your direction either...

That's not true. When Easton swallowed up Velomax and changed the stickers, I bought the Circuits. My neighbor kept busting spokes, so I sold them to him. He was a bit of a fat person and was starting to ride more, so I wanted to help him keep up the momentum. I regretted the decision almost immediately.

So the plan with the trainer is to ride when the boy is napping. I did that today. Newsflash - trainer miles suck. But it sucks a whole lot less than not riding at all.

WhyFi 01-15-13 03:09 PM

Oh, question - do trainer tires last significantly longer than regular tires on the trainer? Lithion 2s, my everyday tire, are $25 a pop, the Vittoria trainer is $35 at my LREI.

I lowballed (shipped) an already low price (unshipped). He came back $10 higher. I asked him to add something else. He gave me a good price on that.

It's significantly cheaper than any connection I have or ebay. I don't want to be a dick about it.

Use old tires.

After the officer checked my papers and all he tells me "well kick it on up to 55, Bill". I says to myself "Bill . . . BILL"?? He's getting mighty familiar, ain't he? :lol:

Of course it's "William" on the license.

Did you stop at the Sac-O-Suds?

I have been using the same trainer tire for several years, still looks like new.

I use old tires too. The other day I rode outside with my old trainer/roller tires. The back one is down to the chords in spots. I was a bit worries on the fast descents. I made it out alive though. WhyFi that KK Road Machine is an excellent choice. I think I may order the heavy flywheel for mine soon.

Are you talking about SA's or yours??

sbxx1985 01-15-13 03:37 PM

How's all that going?

datlas 01-15-13 03:39 PM

Hey, when did they take down that Ford Truck advertisement sticky? I noticed it's gone.

RUOkie 01-15-13 03:39 PM

lets put it this way, I won't post about it in a public forum at this point in time.

Wow, the TDU starts in 5 days. That's soon.

Not from my experience. They just vary their level of craziness.

LAJ 01-15-13 03:48 PM

I expected it to be in the 40's for my ride home today, which is why I rode in this morning. It's not 40, and weather prognosticators lie. I don't care how you slice it, 3F is cold, and it was a cool ride in.
