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...

That turned out quite nicely. I love polishing stuff.

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)

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

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.

That In Colours album is pretty damn good. Haven't heard the new on in its entirety but I really liked a couple of cuts they played on the one-hour Colbert Report extravaganza. Might have to pick it up next week. Wish they'd do the In Colours online pricing scheme again ;)

Today I am up studying for Espaņol... really want to do well tomorrow.

I rode it around for a few minutes and it's kinda scary. LOL

I tried to skid for ****s and giggles and definitely almost ate it. I also can't trackstand for the life of me. Man this sucks. I'm at negative street cred.

redpear 09-28-11 08:52 PM

It takes time. No one does that **** first day. Practice and you'll get it.
