Pics or the cogsage didn't happen. :p
http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=201816 It just happened to you. The Design uses tubes that were not repairable in to hold two pieces of chain across the cog, and then wrap behind the bands holding the chain on the cog as a way to prevent direct metal or thin pieces of taut tubing from putting pressure on the skin. Then a piece of tubing is split and tied to either side of the cog to create the band that holds it onto ones wrist. In this particular picture it was on my wrist. I was originally going to use a hot glue gun to achieve many of these things but I was unable to use one due to time/movement constraints. I was also originally going to tie a fresh flower between the two chain pieces but as I was getting ready to leave the Oven I had an idea for using a tube to create the flower. In a flash of inspiration which I gave myself a little pat on the back for I took a thin 700c tube and cut a flower and put it under the chains. I was really excited about how well it came out, despite how badly the ride went. Looks a good deal better in person, especially from a direct view. |

She'll ride a track bike and make me work to keep pace. She'll ride suntour superbe's because they are sexy and a lugged steel frame with hearts in the lugs. She'll skid because its fun and tease me for riding aluminum because only steel is real. Heels will be considered "riding shoes" when we go out and she'll wear spandex under her skirts. Oh one day i'll find my love. |

I've read on the forum and heard among cyclists that a used Brooks saddle would be molded to someone else's anatomy, and wouldn't be a good investment. Seems like a good idea to me, if the saddle's got just a few miles on it.

This is why I take afternoon naps.

I just lurk the heck out of FGSS and don't contribute.

Scrod, have I ever told you that you look quite a bit like a LBS Dave here in Eureka?! Well, if not, you do, cept he just has long hair, not dreads.

I got missed kazzed tonight and biked home on hollywood blvd. Got a high five from some cute chick and yelled at some drunk guys pissing in the home depot parking lot. All in all It feels like a successful night.

I don't think bike shoes look goofy.

Had a couple tallboys with the fixie crew. Someone bought a bottle of E&J to celebrate my friend and I rejoining the ranks of alcoholics of the world to which my friend and I stared with concern. avoided the E&J for the most part. |

Confession: I'm too lazy to go out to my friend's "crust punks" party (must bring crust-based food and/or punk records and/or booze) thanks to a wicked headwind on the ride home today. So I'm staying in and catching up on Doctor Who. |
I regularly trackstand on my roadie if I can; saves me from clipping out.
