Tonight I'm going to service the bottom bracket on my bike. The thing hasn't been opened up since my dad bought the bike new 24 years ago

Today I went out for a night ride with my gf. It was so ****ing windy and cold even with a jacket. God damnit.

assembled this minus derailleur cables/housings/adjustment.

i guess i just got lazy... can't wait to take it on some trails.

Are you going to keep riding with the 3 piece bb or buy a cartridge bb?

Today I recovered from last night. Another excellent bike ride.

I just lost the bet of my life to my wife. I'll have to dress up as a girl for 3 days. Please kill me now.
Thought we weren't being serious, but **** happens in life.

$400+ Sugino 75 set ups use 3 piece loose ball BB's... must be good.

I'm keeping the 3 piece meal. It was actually remarkably clean since it has a plastic piece that seals out any crud from getting in there. I just re greased the bearings and tightened it a little bit.

The bearings were in a retainer which, according to what I've read can be discarded and is only for quicker assembly. Maybe next time it's apart I'll take the retainer out.

I wasn't saying anything about 3 piece BBs, but I guess you're trying to be ironic.

COOL

qft?

Than wtf is this? o.O

I asked if he was going to keep using the original BB or choose to go with a new cartridge one.


ok, this was dumb.
[ /discussion ]

I wish I could use this in real life with people....



Anyways, today, I just missed the Bike swap meet in Arcata, hung out with my significant other for a couple hours before she went to work, took a shower, and have pretty much just sat around healing all day. Bought a new White rando because my other BRAND NEW one has the wire sticking out and keeps popping my tube...lame. This will probably be Rando I buy if my new Wire bead jack isn't as awesome as expected
Oh, and emailed someone about a sweet Trek Alpha 1000 roadie, and seeing how low he'd go (which is 350) I wish I wasn't such a tight ass about buying things, because I really like it, and a few others that have been up lately on CL, but refuse to buy them cause they're never under 100, haha!
Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to ride a bit without regretting it later, I have some things I wanna do(one of which is literally just to ride)

looking good. Spec's?

Today I woke up too damn early... mind you... I fell asleep at 8:30 last night.

This morning I woke up too early, kissed my one week old daughter good bye and rode my bike to work.

Just wait until you come home and that little girl comes running into your arms with screams of Daaaaaaaad !!!!

Mine are 11 and 13 and they still do this.

The one week old is my second. I have a four year old that will almost knock me down when I get home. It is my favorite part of the day.

My mom told me that when i was younger, i went through a phase when i did this but then proceeded to punch my dad in the nuts. i was an awful child...

My youngest nephew had a phase like this until he punched his favourite uncle and his uncle "punched" him back.

Not hard, and more of a touch and a push but it shocked his 4 year old self enough that he stopped punching people as he understood that if you dish it out, you better be able to take it.

Did not stop him from breaking my foot one day when we were wresting around and he did a flying heel drop to the top of my foot while I was dealing with his tag team partners (brother and cousin) who had not tagged in and were double teaming me.

It was a seriously impressive move... he had a good teacher.

So far I woke up way to early for work, watched an episode of 3rd Rock from the sun, ate some oatmeal, drove to work, created 6 userIDs on multiple servers, and now I'm lurking on this site..pretty good Monday! Oh and also anxiously awaiting for Thursday(Fiance has a Dr. appointment to she if she is pregnant! =) crossing my fingers!)

Congratulations... even though your better half deserves most of the credit.

There has only been one day when I did not appreciate having a 4 year old launch herself into my lap when I got home... had just returned from getting the big V and the freezing was just starting to wear off.

My tip... should you decide to join the club... wear a cup for a few days as if small girls who call you dad are running around they can launch themselves at you without warning and they have pointy little knees.

If you think getting hit in the nads hurts now, you have no idea.

Thanks Sixty Fiver, I'll file that one away if I ever do it.

hot damned

It may be official. Office claims to not have my package, in which means I'm short brand new Nitto Noodles and a Calv jacket.

i r sad.

Tracking says it was delivered on the 21st. Did someone steal it?

We'll get you taken care of Calv!
