Yeah that was my first thought too, but the spoke goes all the way into the nipple. Bad batch of nipples? Crappy build? I have no idea, I bought the wheel used.

Either way it's getting rebuilt soon.

Brass nipples. That's the risk you run.

Even better I get a "you can't double post or post twice within 30 seconds" error every time I post o matter what. Noice. I think it's because I have been using Chrome lately. doesn't happen in IE.

Is the guy in front of you wearing an elbow pad? He must do some crazy cornering..

I don't have any pictures, but one of the race promoters made a short video of the crit last week. At 1:25, I'm in the blue/black kit with the yellow shoulders and black helmet. I had no idea how much that kit sticks out in a pack. The video is a collection of 3 different races and I did the 4/5 and 3/4 so I'm all over in it. It's pretty interesting to see what I look like while I'm riding. I think I need to work on dropping the handlebars as I didn't realize how un-aero I am. Anyway, at 4:25 you will recognize a beloved member of BF, oh and he won....

I tried it once in IE and got the double post. I haven't tried it in a long time though, since every time I use IE, I feel kinda like I need to shower it off of me.

It's "only" like 40% double-posing for me in Chrome though...

LOL - hadn't noticed the elbow pad before!

No idea what that's about - perhaps I should put in a stewards inquiry (if you can't beat them, get them disqualified?)

SPRING FLING #6 - Lawrence, KS.
OFF THE FRONT...I had about a 300-400meter gap on the field coming into the sprint lap. Was about to blow up...sat up, got caught, attacked on last lap with 2 turns to go, caught on the line for 3rd place.

Wow. I'd never seen a pic of mollusk before. I'm a little dumbfounded.

Oz, nice pic but next time, hands on the hoods or in the drops when you stand up. You look like you want to be on a mountain bike

First crit, Yale, much suffering was had, leading to a very un-spectacular finish with the pack. Oh well.

Cell phone shot, I'm in the white jersey and black shorts.
