Bike Forums - Today I:

I just finally filled up my first TB drive. Dug up my blank DVD stash and have started burning. Seems like it would be easier to just go get a 2.5 TB, though.

I have a 50 gig Linux Partition, a partition that houses an image of my work computer and then my WinXP partition. I've come up with a different backup method for work comp so I guess I can drop that chunk now.

Lotta graphics files, but mostly small CorelDraw vector files. Maybe 100 movies, about 4.5 GB apiece max, and a buncha race D/Ls from cyclingtorrents.nl.

Funny that I was just talking to my youngest about clearing up her laptop's memory a little as she has nearly filled 100 GB drive and I am sitting here with 1TB in the desktop and another external 1 TB drive (which she can back up her laptop to).

I have barely put a dent in the storage capacity I have here but don't do a lot of media / music... just have thousands upon thousands upon thousands of image files.

Ha! The first time that happens is the worst.

A bamboo skewer works as a pretty good non driving nipple driver. IE, it just holds the damn thing in place.

Both wheels are laced, I just need to tension and true the wheels.
And the bamboo skewers thing is a good idea. Didnt think of that.

You always buy at least one extra spoke.

In your case, I know you bought six extras.

Today was a mixed day. Won't be getting that merykx, went to get it and upon close inspection, frame wasn't in as good of shape as I hoped. Think I'm going to put that money towards a new crankset for the 930... Had a good road ride today then went and put my tree up and found a dead mouse and a bunch of rat poison in my tree box.

This^

FWIW, even the threaded end of a broken spoke would work if you happen to have one laying around that's long enough to accommodate the depth of the rim.

I know it doesn't, but it's something that a lot of people (including myself) haven't had. We can't all go to Belgium and have it there.

Edit: Now that I've tried it, I agree. Very sweet, very malty. Sort of reminds me of Samiclaus. Not really my style. Good, but not great.

Today I found this on craigslist. Thought I would post it here in case anyone needs one to check if their frame is aluminum or steel.
