I've never actually gone to SF with a road bike before. |
Today I was riding and it looks like my hub bent and my tire started rubbing against the frame. Is it because my chain was too tight. I don't have a chain tensioner but my dropouts face open toward the front. Is it bad that I just run my chain without a derailleur?
|
Today my buddy had a stroke, at 24.
|
Wow, sorry to hear that. Severe?
|
He had surgery this morning, and there appears to be major brain damage.
|
Damn, dude. That's unfortunate as ****. How you holding up?
|
I'm alright.

What? Your hub didn't "bend", your axle nuts were loose and your wheel slipped.

The screw in the cassete bent because the chain pulled it forward. The screw coming out of the cassette rotates sideways instead of straight now

I think he means his axle is bent.
Sorry about your friend, Morgan. That's terrible. |

Makes you really stop and think what's really important at the end of the day. |
Today I scuffed my bike for the first time. Well, it is actually the 2nd mark on it and it's on the side of my brooks so really I'm calling it as a 'character mark'. The first one is a small paint chip that was on the frame when I bought it.
|
Today I: eff you headwind, eff you!
|
Today I continue to pour sweat equity into a house I don't own. FFUUUUUU.
|
i did a bit of that today too. sucks.
time to join a credit union, start putting away in savings, and perhaps sell everything to invest and eventually get a more gauge. then again maybe it's not time for anything other than the first one. maybe it's time for the first one and this:http://thepathbikeshop.com/images/ne...na-Process.jpg |
After Legs day in the gym yesterday I decided to put the new chainring on my bike for 90 gear inch and go ride around Austin.
It sucked. |
Today I: planned to meet a friend for coffee before work, but we got rained out. The bike gods parted the skies shortly before noon so I came home for the bike. Pretended to be a courier by stopping by FedEx for a waybill, then back to the office. So happy to see the sun.

Today I'm lovin' dat china carbon.
http://i.imgur.com/9WgibC6.jpg The ones with birth defects on the left are Chinese, the proper looking ones on the right are NOS reynolds from the LBS which I bought because of the prior. If they're having problems fabricating such trivial carbon parts it makes me wonder what goes on with their framesets.... :rolleyes: |
i had that problem with some aluminum ones i got, youd think theyre all cut from a standard size tube
|
Probably just different batches. Who was the supplier?
|
Today brought a fun 40 miles.
