i can has barspinz?
 
well this is my sketchy video in a desperate effort to do my 700c barspinz. I had to:

flip the right pedal over and use the bottom
file off the tabbie
start with my pedals verticle.

not trying to show off or think i'm cool. I fully understand that i'm in the initial stages of cleanliness in these executions. Although i wanted to give the other short people with 700c fronts hope. Cause there is hope!

Yep. I have overlap as well with my Surly and BMW fork. Pretty much any 700c barspin will have overlap. Get used to it.

cizzlak 06-08-08 04:56 PM

a BMW fork? damn, i should get one to match my E30 325is... :)

Neat little trick, that one would make me feel cool taking off at an intersection. I couldn't help but laugh at this thread title. Is the intentional misspelling really necessary?:p

It's a Surly. Not a track bike. I have a track bike and I have a bike that's just used for everyday use. Also, if you use Firefox, you can catch those pesky misspellings.

Prolly Are You Drubnk>?

johnprolly 06-08-08 07:36 PM

kinda

hxzero 06-08-08 08:24 PM

It's a reference to "i can has cheezburger" with the lolcats. I can't believe nobody got that here.

Cynikal 06-08-08 08:30 PM

I think everyone got it and is just tired of it.

Pennywize 06-08-08 08:33 PM

my brothers 53 iro has 700c bar spins.. he had to get super small 700c tires though..but he gets em! it's janky to get though b/c it hits the pedals if you don't know the proper pedal placing for them..but if you do.. it's easyyy

Yes.

4zn_balla, are you from California, you look familiar.

4zn_balla 06-08-08 10:43 PM

no i live in wisconsin (the new california). In response to the sketch spinergy statement. why don't people say something about the guy in mash who had one? oh wait cause he was in mash.

Hofweber 06-09-08 12:03 AM

Hve you seen the bar/seat setupz kids in MASH have? Those guys are so crazy and probably on edge from the painful riding, nobody talks **** cause they might get attacked.

Pennywize 06-09-08 12:49 AM

that particular spinergy rim can easily break doing tricks constantly, more so than the others (arrospok/hed3).. i seen it happen twice!!!

jussik 06-09-08 03:31 AM

dude, not trying to hate or anything but why are you riding your bike in your garage?

Aeroplane 06-09-08 06:24 AM

So nobody steals the camera on the tripod.

Using your logic then I shouldn't take my negativity elsewhere. I want to be negative and **** on everyone's hopes and dreams... because I "want too".

rduenas 06-09-08 10:14 AM

I wouldn't want to leave my garage if I was running that Spinergy, either.

crushkilldstroy 06-09-08 11:23 AM

I'm glad you looped that like 8 times on the youtube clip. It was really hard to catch all of the idiocy the first time around, and the slow motion really helped me suck it all in.

EDIT - I can't believe the word dou-che is edited out here. How are the ladies in the women's forum supposed to talk about feminine cleanliness?

moz138 06-09-08 11:52 AM

get back to us when you get your rear wheel spins down.

No, because what you are saying effects someone. He is having fun, you're trying to reduce his fun.
