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)

Just got home from work to see Green Bay get absolutely ROBBED.

Replacement refs have to go ASAP.

Well, apparently reality doesn't matter when it comes to the NFL these days.

I'm no Seattle hater, but it was funny watching them celebrate like that last play was legit, like they really earned it. The "W" got dropped into their laps by incompetent refs.

today I was moving my tires from my all city wheelset (stock on big block) to my old deep vs. forgot how mfing hard the rimbos are to mount. seriously gave up after 30 minutes of just trying the REAR. haven't quit in frustration on a tire since the first time I bought gatorskins I think. it's not from being too tight, I can't get the mfer started, keeps sliding off after I started it. looking forward to tomorrows blister

Took my track bike to the shop by car today to get some issues resolved. Was so excited to get my baby fixed that I biked 10 miles back home instead. Realized when I got home that the dude at the shop not only re-installed my fork all loose and rattly, he also replaced one of the headset bearings upside down. Fixed the problems when I got home; I'm so glad I'm not just a helpless consumer. I rode my folding bike back to retrieve my car. Folded up the bike, threw it in the trunk, and I was happily on my way.

Kinda makes you wonder why you go to the shop at all. Maybe they're good conversationalists?

Last night I made the drive to Lansing with a few friends to see Foxy Shazam. So amazing. One of our friends bands was an opener too, so we got to see them, which was also pretty rad. But Foxy, so much energy. Their keyboard player actually threw his keyboard into the crowd, and then played it while crowd surfing.

I literally cannot find any similarities between those two watches other than the day/date things being the same font.

You can see clearly on the back that Seiko makes it though.

Why you no?
I have one, the tire has too much play if anything when starting out, getting it inside the rim isn't the problem, it just won't sit there. Can this be used for that as well? may need a tutorial if so!

Use old toe straps to help keep the bead set before finishing the job off with the jack.

Wrap them progressively between the tire and rim toward the remainder that's net set.
