I've put over 100 miles on my rb002's and they are great. Good hand positions and the reach isn't all that long.

On another note: today I painted the rear machined sidewall on a wheelset I got on the cheap. It came out great but only time will tell how well it will hold up...

congrats bro!

Today I just came back from the gym and feel ****ing great. I'm also going to be putting in a pretty nice order in at retrogression.

Very cool! Congrats! Is it in MA?

today some guys waited at my bike outside of a five guys to tell me it was cool

got my chainring tight then halfway into my ride the clicking returns! come home and its the same one, loose again. it's gotta be stripped or something. time to swallow my pride and head to my lbs

Yea man. My clearcoat doesn't even chip off like it does on production bikes. It's kinda like a layer of super glue and scratches off. Touched up with clear nail polish, hope I don't get too much H2O seepage... but the FTP is going to be the rainy day bike anyways luls.

I just posted a picture in the picture sticky... check it out!

Did you grease them?

Indoor velodrome. :D

probably not and the flimsy feeling alloy sure didn't take too kindly to my frustration. now the trick will be removing it is my guess

This is smart.

new business idea - rooftop velodrome/bikeshop/local fair trade coffee house/designer clothing store. Located in downtown Portland.

We're sitting on a goldmine people.

I've found that a light coat of grease on the threads helps me get them tight so they'll stay put.

I'll try that. I'm thinking after messing with these a few times that I should just grab some steel chainring bolts for it anyway, these things feel like total pieces of ****.

plus it'll give me a good excuse to get an all black, odd count, chainring. I heard someone recently got rid of their 47t...

Yea steel is real dude.

Got hit by a car :/
But only a few cuts and scrapes, but the car got dented, so hopefully all turns out well. gonna stick to the bike paths for a few weeks.

did they rear end you or what?

if you stick to the paths the motorist have won!

sucks :(

i dont work at one, i am one :P

which one you at? i know most everyone who does this scam of a job :)

Last night I had a dream that I snapped my NDS Egg Beater in half. They've been making a weird creaking noise lately.

I woke up from a dream where I couldn't sleep. Needless to say, I do not feel rested. FML

Today, while on the toilet reading an old issue of reader's digest, I had an epiphany about the individual rationale of organized religion.

Today I rode my bike around all morning and went home when the the heat was unbearable.

try houston you sob

If you don't like it you can move bro.

come at me bro

Why you have to be so angry? Get over yourself.

Why are we arguing over this? STL is hot and so is Houston. Capiche?

Errr AC and indoor trainer?

Before the backlash to this post; the same principles are used at gyms and I'm pretty sure you guys are not eco crazed hipsters right?

Meh. I'd rather ride my bike outside but I'm buying rollers anyway.

No, I certainly am not. It's 95 degrees and 50% humidity in STL right now. Is that not hot enough for everyone else?

did people really take "come at me bro" as a serious response?

it's hard to express sarcasm over the internet without a smilie or "lol" following it.

Only if you're dealing with complete idiots. :) lol
