We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

You're both right of course, but I just think of Shandy anytime someone puts citrus in beer, even a slice of orange in a Hefeweizen.

Doesn't mean I won't enjoy it.

Well this is like the story of the skunk, scr*wing the porcupine, I haven't had enough, but I've had all I can stand.

The rain has gone down to a light drizzle, and I am going for a short ride.

Cheers.

Today I replaced my Leader's stock Tekktro bake pads with Koolstop dual compound pads, made the initial cut on its streerer tube, fitted a compression plug, installed a GXP BB and SRAM S300 crankset, installed its cog and lockring, test fit and broke its chain, and learned the hard way that chainrings are sharp.

TLDR; built a bike, hurt myself in the process.
