Today my TT was delivered. Put it together. Looks sharp. Swapped the back cog for a 14t, rear lockring was seized. I guess from sitting in a factory and not being greased in the first place. Heat gun + penetrating oil + pipe wrench + breaker bar = unseized. Greased everything up, and put on a new lockring, the stock was ****.
Fit everything according to my fit calc. Rode it around the block for about 10 mins. Rides like a dream. Bars are meh though. officially looking for some track drops. *cough*cough* The saddle was surprisingly comfortable. Still need to cut the steerer, we'll see after a few weeks on the track. All the talk about how sh*tty the stock pedals are? I dont get it. Those pedals are fine, I mean, they would be a little better if they had barrings. feels like they're packed with gravel and peanut butter. Overall, I'm happy. |

Installed my first Travel Agent ever. I was tempted to buy this Trek as we were working on it but I've got too many 90s MTBs already. Will not get another unless a Ritchey P-23, 22, 21, whatever.

I grew tired of people trying to sell me $50 cogs for my Free Spirit. |

Date night with the wife. First one in too long, and one of the first steps in rebuilding our relationship. Early dinner at the restaurant I'm working at now, shopping, bowling, and now karaoke. When I got to the karaoke bar they had dome Mexican velodrome racing on TV and I was stoked. Then they put soccer on. Lame.

Hellyer tomorrow?
Also, damn @ 48/14 wtf. Also, is there a pump at the track? Edit: also, planned a much better route, so I will have no problem getting there on time. The bus gets downtown at 7:45, Then its a 7 mile ride to Hellyer, so I should be there well before 8:30. |

Bring tools to take your brake off too. |

There isn't. But likely that somebody will just bring one.

Jesus, 90gi and brakeless. Don't blow your knees before you even get to the track. HAhaha
I think I'm just overly excited. I finally get to use 90gi the way it was meant to be. |
I forgot to post FB feed pic of the day. Drinkin' on the corner:

|
Battlefield 1942 maybe?

World of Tanks

Never played Vietnam. +1 on the BF 1942, tho. Killer game!!!
|
It's all about 1943 :P Of course I only say that because it got me into shooters. To bad it never say a PC release.
Right now I'm bring to find a game that is a top-down aviation game set with the red baron, but it's kinda steampunk like. Very hard to describe, but I want to play it again SO BADLY. |
Today i was very stressed and really wished i could do a few dozen miles at night just me myself and the road, but my baby mama has an infection and im in the hospital
|
most people hate that orbea. id love one if i could try it on and it fit.
at 90 inches, youll either not be able to attack or respond or youll just destroy the field. |
Yesterday I went on a road ride, chilled at the LBS (remodeling, please excuse the mess), cruised around with gaozilla and another buddy (that's my old FTP!):

Today (since I am home) I went to my local bike store (the only store i've been to worth supporting) and spent like 50 bucks, on my girlfriends bike :( i want new bike stuff
|
Today I hit the track with Nagrom_ and TheRealFaux.
There were some practice Keirin races at the end, and I was 1st place 2/2. Destroyed some guy that was running a carbon Planet-X with a disk/IO by like 30m. O_O |
