Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Today I went to work and played bikes. Loving this new job. They're ok with me leaving early in the day to get riding in. Then I log in when I get home to keep working if need be.

Sad but true. 95% of the people there expect every girl who has ever joined to have posts in GW. Its sort of sad and pathetic.

for some reason I always think coaster brake when I see "coasty" or "coastie"...

But I'm assuming a freewheel or freehub was in use in the above scenario.

Considering re-wrapping my drops before the weather gets warm again. Thinking about bright orange tape, just cause.

I would swear that *everyone* in Portland has a bicycle and 1/2 of them ride them daily.

It's cold and rainy as hell today and not a F was given. Ride bikes like it's sunny and 70.

Also...the grungy thing. Not sure how I feel about that.

I know that feel, bro.

Today I ordered wheels for my new build, and they're already out for shipping.

Today I threw a new freewheel on the dmr and toyed around on that. Also found what was causing the rear wheel to squeak on the 930. Non-drive side bearing was shot. So mended that.

Tell her that it makes you happy. She wants you to be happy, right? If that doesn't work, buy some cheaters that make them look a size or two bigger. If she doesn't notice, you're silver. If she likes it, you're golden. Or, lose or break a plug, go to a shop that you know has a limited selection, find one you like that's the size you're shooting for. "Babe, I looked, but the only ones I liked were this size that's bigger."

Yeah, the first option usually works for me, but in the interest of being a good husband, I agreed to stop at 1".
