Yeah, lots of redneck pickup trucks around here with balls hanging from trailer hitches. Peoples with small brains and weenies.

lol, forgot those were back there when i took the pictures. silly x-mas gift from the gf that i figured would get stolen pretty quick. almost two months in and honestly they are a solid rear light and for some odd reason roadies really ****ing love them. once a week somebody in full kit chases me down just to yell "nice balls!" the lady in her ~40"s who threw in a sexy wink has been my favorite so far.

Check your wheels. If that rear isn't in the dropout straight, it possibly could. Check the front as well and ensure that it is all the way in.

Specialized cobgobbler or something like that. Made for their Roubaix, and super compliant.

Oh lordy lordy lordy. The only thing that I am grateful for when I had my Dublin is that it got me riding fixed. Everything else including every cent I spent on it, I regret it.

Nothing broke. I just realized that it was a heavy bike with a garbage crank that flexed. The headset was garbage. The pedals that came with it were garbage. The tires were garbage. Even the tubes were garbage. I replaced the tires, tubes, both wheels eventually, fork, cranks, bottom bracket, pedals, saddle, stem, and the brake. Had I known what I was in for, I would have saved up and bought something with higher quality parts.
