Today I got my spokes tensioned and lockring tightened now that my wheel is broken in. I also got the risers on my Deadeye ready to chop. They're uncomfortably wide so I'm taking 4 cm off each side - about as narrow as I can get with brake levers.

Someone got the new school wide mtb bars....

homebrewk 10-03-11 07:36 PM

You should just take the bars off all together. Gram the stem to steer. Super aero FTW.

Not quite suicides but definitely better than the super wide mtb bars now. Still hueg by hipster standards.

During the ride to a friend's house I broke 2 spokes on my rear wheel while emergency skidding to avoid a car that ran a red light. How safe is the bike to ride right now? I'm ten miles from home and I have no cash for the bus/train. I don't wanna walk home.

krapes 10-03-11 10:14 PM

I think you're fine. My buddy and I are poor students and we've both ridden without a few spokes before. Until it gets wobbly I think you can ride safely if you are careful.

Walked 2 miles wearing flip-flops. I've got a huge blister on the bottom of my foot. So THAT sucks.

I finally received my edge 800 unit replacement in a nifty little box in a box! :D
Best part was I did not expect to receive another accessories bundle with the replacement.

Today I told myself I'd quit smoking. We'll see how far that actually goes.

redpear 10-04-11 01:16 PM

Just remind yourself how awful it is for cycling. Willpower!

That's actually what got me wanting to quit in the first place. I feel a pretty big difference on days I smoke, compared to days I don't when I ride.

I smoked daily for 5 years, and quit overnight. It really just takes willpower. The first day is the hardest. My cravings were completely gone after just a couple weeks. You can do it if you discipline yourself. The key to not smoking is to not smoke.

Good luck! I quit by switching to e-cigs five months ago.
