YES!

(I love the sweet elvish.)

Drunken Bocce.

+1 on that! And then when you do get to drink a brew, it's weak like herbal tea... Apparently it's easier to get pot than to get booze here if you're under 18.

I used to make fixed wheels out of old (schwinn or whatever I could find at the dump) road wheels. I would dismantle and pull the whole freewheel assembly off the hub, remove all the cogs except one of the threaded ones that are used to hold the whole thing together, then I would put it back together and weld the internals, then the cog to the freewheel assembly, then rotofix it to the hub. Worked ok up until I started running ~85 gear inches, then I started bending axles on tough climbs. (couldn't re-dish the wheel because the assembly was the same size as a 5 speed). Finally have a proper track hub and can't belive the difference.

Also made a bunch of choppers and tallbikes from scrap.

A fixed gear MTB wheel which I made using a front hub. Put in a rear axle, respaced it, drilled a cog with the exact same pattern as a disc rotor (damn that took ages), bolted it on, gave it a nice lacing pattern and got a very cheap fixie wheel.

I made some really hideous pillows (red synthetic fur stuff and camo) and I make my own beer pretty often.

Lyledriver, I will trade you beer for a top tube cozy.

I've got a frame pad on my bike.

I did the old chain seat lock, but the bike theft rate around here does not warrant a bike lump under my saddle.

This thread is sweet, I'm friends with the girl from girlbikedog (https://www.girlbikedog.blogspot.com/)

Am I cool too???

Action figures make great bike accessories:

Or, even Heroin.

Yesterday I DIY'd a rear-fender-to-chainstay-bridge spacer out of a ziptie and a 1.5cm segment cut from a small plastic flashlight body. It seems to work pretty well so far! No digicam, otherwise I'd post a picture.

Nope. You're still a göt lalesi.

how strong is that?

I used to have a bunch of GI Joes tied to my spokes with wire but eventually the wire rusted and they fell off. I should go get some more.

Definetly.
I could have an oz of headie buds in my hand in ten minutes, but I dont know anyone to get booze from.

Were you asking me?
If so:
It's good so far. The flashlight body piece (from a fake mini-maglite received as a stocking stuffer some years ago) is actually pretty strong over that short distance. It'd take a lot more force than the ziptie could dish out to do anything to it. The ziptie is definitely the weak link---over the 1.5cms it has a fair amount of room to stretch. If I take another half cm off the spacer the ziptie will probably be a little happier and also I'll have more clearance to take off my wheel.

If none of this works over the long haul, I'll consider drilling and tapping the chainstay bridge.

yeah, dude, all i can usually get is cigarettes, alchohol is hard, but weed is easy, depending on who you know.

That's so ****ed up...
Although, alcohol is more addictive and more harmful than weed anyway.

Sikter Git!

Ha ha, I knew i was getting old when i realized the kids at the highschool my gf volunteers at can find drugs about 500 times quicker than me.
