I noticed that about ACS yesterday. Other shop dude was putting one on a kid's bmx. I marveled at th spline depth and number

Today i wait in line for approximately 2 hours for a haunted house.
prepaid for tickets, friggin.

Today was a long day. And I'm making it longer because I'll be out until about 3 am. Whoops. I'm also going through the process of deciding what tattoo I want to get to cover up a small one I have on my chest. Trying to think of things that are cycling related. Or something to do with the Emerald Ire. Decisions, decisions.

Stopped by the lbs on the way from work yesterday and picked up a ultimate/feedback truing stand, park tool spoke wrench and a cheapo 18t freewheel to try out some different gearing. Trued my wheelset today, put on the new freewheel and went for a 11mi ride. Unfortunately, the new gearing(48/18) isn't for me. My old setup was a vuelta pista crankset with a 46t chainring and a 16t freewheel. I ran that for two months and averaged 17-18mph on my 8mi commute then recently my supervisor upgraded his Sugino rd2 crankset to something better so I got that off of him for $40. Ran that setup(48/16) for about a month and decided its not for me. So after playing with the 48/18 today I decided to go to another lbs and picked up a oring8 beck 42t chainring and installed it along with a 17t freewheel. Now I can say I'm satisfy and just need to learn how to spin at a higher cadence to maintain a good average speed plus the origin8 chainring runs more round than the Sugino chainring.

you are a mean mean man...... :P

The difference between 48/18 and 42/17 is huge. At 42/17 you should be able to spin all day. But how do you know the origin8 chainring is rounder than the Sugino? Could just be the difference in gearing that you're feeling.


I'm currently in the middle of an at-home workout. All I did was deposit a check, do some grocery shopping and watch a movie. Gotta burn some cals. Just finished Ab Ripper X and now I'm doing some free weights.

Rode the bike to Yoyogi Park to go to Vegefest, then got a call from the girlfriend saying she had finished her work and wanted to go too. I'm not allowed to go in though because apparently we have to see it together(???). Now I chill in the park (75 degrees in Tokyo today!) and test the iPhone 5 battery, soon I eat all the falafel.

got in a discussion with some dude on ****** that thinks my Fuji doesn't fit. I dont think I will post on ****** again, that place sucks

^^^ Yeah, ****** is the worst.

I've been catching up on biology studying. Reading about fungi. FML.

Spun the crank with the new origin8 chainring and use the chainstay as a reference point to see how true the chainring runs. There is less wobble with the origin8 than the Sugino, I guess I should've said the origin8 runs more true than the Sugino.

As a mod do you have the capability to change your handle? because this would be rad... for a while.

Found a wig for my corpse paint black metal Halloween costume. Gonna be an evil holiday.

I'm gonna be Waldo.

I was just eating a lovely chunk of cheesecake when a large bit of mustache entered my mouth upon taking a bite. This led me to ponder whether anyone had ever choked to death on their own facial hair. I haven't been able to find any conclusive evidence either way, but the night is young.

In other news, I am as of yet undecided on my Halloween costume, but since I own a fair number of bowties, I lay be Doctor Who.

i'm thinkin money every moment thinkin money. i bus a nut and then i'm back to thinkin money.

Nice! What kind of time and elevation did you get on it?

not a lot of elevation in SE Texas. The causeway was the only actual climb

For halloween, I decided to walk around kitted for a night. Beer pockets! Another night I'm just throwing on some of the soccer stuff I own. Not spending a dime on costumes this year.

cuts and blood on the legs, light "zombie" eye makeup by lady friends, busted up helmet with more blood and guts coming out

****** status

im about to head out for a 4hrs fixed ride. will be the longest ive spent continuously on a fixed ride in a long time.

Today I: Am going for a ride :)

Just put on a big ole' pot o' chili. I'd be on my bike right now if I wasn't balls deep in some chemistry homework.

haha thats awesome. If more of my friends were into bikes/bike culture, and understood something like that, I would have to steal the idea from you.

mmmm.....

Today I got some longer allen wrenches with some kinda extra leverage handle deal.

Was that carbon handlebar expensive? My bad.

I was debating over that set @ home depot last month; too bad I don't trust husky tools and went for a set by eklind instead.
