Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Major suppage of sqrls at the neighborhood bar tonight. Did not intend to stay there so long. Now, major sleepage.

Also +1 about the boyfriend spider. Tell her to hit it with a book and go back to sleep. *just remembered why I'm single*

Today I rode 20 miles, passing a couple of bike shops to get various things done. Rode with a wheel on my back; popped my bro's tube yesterday during a test drive; too lazy to patch it up myself, but wasn't at all lazy to ride 8 miles away to get the tube replaced. Passed by a dude on a folding bike. I like seeing folding and track bikes on the street.

Today I loosened my chain slightly before riding to work. I couldn't believe how much quieter my bike is now. The chain never really felt too tight before, but it was definitely noisy back at the cog. I can barely hear it now.

The gun wasn't pointed at me, he just had it in his hand. He wasn't awarded the split second it would have taken to pull the trigger because I reacted before he was even in control of what he was doing.

plain oatmeal sucks and is boring, gotta add some jazz and make it with milk to make it good

after fixing my bars, this appeared on my computer screen:

Today I lost my mind trying to explain to a customer that a freewheel can be used on a fixed hub. I even physically showed him that it can be done. He refused to believe me and got frustrated.

**** you, go bother the idiots at Superb.

For a second I thought he was requesting a freewheel on a free hub. My mind almost melted.

Seriously though how do some people make it through life with no reasoning skills at all, and how hard is life when that is the case?

Dangit! I didn't get no toy! Whatever, I promptly got my order and the wheel works great. Can't complain (even though I just kinda did, sorry). Won't be my last RG order.

Got my rim from scrod today. Decided I didn't want to bother polishing the black rim to silver, so I ordered a 32h hub, and a few more spokes/nipples. Cool thing about radial lacing is that regardless of spoke count, the same hoop/hub combo is always the same spoke length.

Just placed an order for 24 cheapo spokes/nipples from scrod, that use to lace up the original rim, after i rattle can it black again, then I'll throw it on CL and recoup some of my losses.
