Today I saw a 'Ted Shred' singlespeed climbing a hill. Didn't get a chance to see him stop though.
A bee booped my nose on my way back from class.
Aaaaannnnd 2 night tests in a row tonight - Flight Structures and Astrodynamics. Not excited.

Today I got these in the mail.

Looking forward to seeing how (if at all) they help my braking on my CX bike.

today I went to pick up the fresh pasela tg I ordered last week for my rear wheel.

kudos to the person that knows what's wrong with this picture.

The way you wrapped your bars?

ouch Leuky.

It's clearly not a TG.

Sowwie, I thought it was a sort of spot what's wrong game... cloth tape is easy to rewrap through ;)

could that be a plain pasela, not tg?

edit...damn that scrod is fast

as long as i am editing...if you did not pay the higher price for tgs, keep it - paselas are nice tires. it is what i am using & i ride on some terrible roads covered in debris with no flatting so far. my only gripe is that they are huge, my 25s are as big as some 28s i've had.

and the vanilla paselas have all-black casing now, evidently, instead of the tan that's on their website (and even the catalog that the LBS was looking at when they ordered). I can do without the extra material in the TG, but damn if having mismatched tires isn't going to be annoying for the month it's going to last me.

haha.

today i lined some lugs. not sure how i feel about it. the lugs are so thin that the paint marker kept jumping off the edge.

those look exactly like the t-serv's tread. can someone hit me with the info regarding the difference? i think it's just a little more protection with the t-serv's... correct?

Correct. Same tread, a little more protection with the T-Serv.

today I stripped my hub because of a crappy formula lockring. super bummer

Today I traded my Cinelli 1a stem for Nitto B-123 track bars. Decided instead of buying a new stem, i would hand polish my old nasty nitto young stem previously on the bike to match.

results :)

That turned out quite nicely. I love polishing stuff.

My wife just came back from work. Time to take delivery of her new coffin! :D

Oof, I hope you learn from your mistakes; formula rings are so bad they literally get chunks taken out of them by spanners during the tightening process...

But isn't your wife a model?

i agree. cost 13 bucks in sandpaper and took about 2 hours. i have been polishing car exhausts and wheels for some time. great tool of the trade to have at your disposal!

That's on the side; she does corporate accounting.

She's also a vampire; have you ever seen twilight? The wicked wretch made me cold blooded.

Cool. Does she look like this? (from the Twilight series)

:p

You didn't get it. =/ Oh well.

As for how my wife looks like; I'll let your guys imagination go wild.

yeah I noticed that when I was taking it off. I'd say I've taken this one off and on only like 2 times and the notches in it had already started to get messed up. should have taken that as a hint as to how the threading was. Today I feel like a dingus

Here we go...

Nah no need to be, it happens to all of us. A formula rear is bombproof once you get it properly set up with a DA lockring.

I am going with fat and ugly, probably a dwarf, too.

:lol:

How did you know? :eek:

You guys are just the worst and also the reason why I keep coming back. :love:

Had a craving for an Orange Julius

put a clamp-on front brake on the '09 Fuji League. just in case.......
