They are veary beafy and should hold up well on any suface.

why don't you have these tools. go get them, dude! it's not like you won't use them, right? does anyone else not have these?
also, beautiful wheels. and i'm def. not trying to talk ****! you always have cool gear. but c'mon homey, the bike shop is for headset cups, not cogs!
maybe not even the cups, but that's why i go.

onetwentyeight 08-19-06 12:50 AM

freewheel is less than a mile from me. i give them a 35 bucks every six months and I have access to all the tools I ever need, plus a bunch of awesome mechanics to answer all my dumb questions. Works well enough for me. plus refried bikes (another GREAT shop here in SF) is only 3 blocks from my house. I dont need the tools that bad. Between friends, freewheel, and refried I am covered.

I want to have a full tool and bike work set up eventually, but i have moved 3 times int he last 6 months due to messed up roomate situations, injury, and poverty. im in no rush. at the moment all i own is a wrench set and an allen set. *shrug*

it'll happen. just not there yet. im just another kid with a bike addiction.

msneeri2@hotmai 08-19-06 12:53 AM

well that sounds like a pretty decent situation...congrats on rare, cool ****in wheels! peace.

Retem 08-19-06 01:03 AM

hey what about the bike kitchen sf

me and some friends started one here in sac and it is pretty cool the coop thing is good

gotta stop by and see freewheel and sf kitchen just do the coop chit chat thing

dude if you have 1/8" chain and a screwdriver you can use that like a chain whip works good for me or just mount the cog and wheel to your bike and burn out on the wall for a while till its supper tight then get a lockring tool

and wrench

onetwentyeight 08-19-06 01:08 AM

bike kitchen is cool, its not in my neighborhood tho. I have random bits of chain and I know I could throw that cog on there if i wanted to, but I'm not in a rush and I can wait till i throw the wheelset on my back and ride over to freewheel. id rather take my time and do it properly than try to ghetto rig a wheelset like this...

DoshKel 08-19-06 01:09 AM

Sound great onetwentyeight. Can't wait to see them on the bike with everything completed.

Retem 08-19-06 01:49 AM

heard that thats why I keep my tools at home
