I had didn't want to cut my steerer tube on my own, so I went over there to get it done. I don't think I'll be going back there much for that kind of stuff anymore, though. Solidifies the saying "if you want it done right, do it yourself."

I love my ribmos! it makes me ride my bicycle more! :)

I see what you did there

Today I did this. A ton of it was slow as hell because my friend had never tightened anything on his bike and dropped a crankarm. There were four super slow miles afterward. Oh, and I took it easy after sliding about ten feet on my right hip and knee. Awesome.

Pffft, didn't even cross the state line this time ;)

finished my de-anodize and polish job on my previously black dimension risers.

Nice polishing on the risers I've been wanting to do it for a bit but I think that it would look goofy with glow in the dark ourys.

Btw glow in the dark ourys barely glow in the dark and I regret buying them even though they were on sale

Thanks. Sounds like you should just pick up a new pair of oury's.

today im starting to realize that im starting to become a workaholic, not good.

im also getting extremely annoyed about the way my bike gets ****ing molested while its locked up at work.
go back to school you little ****s and keep your hands in your pockets!

Today I started saving for a new frame set. Mmmmmm

fremont>edmonds>kingston>Squamish>Poulsbo>Bremerton>seattle with gomeansgo and sirbryanclark

To the guy having issue with the Rimo Tire, watch this.


I've had Ribmo, Gatorhardshells and Marathons. Schwalbe Marathons are by far the hardest tire I have ever mounted, RIBMO's were pretty easy but I had the folding version.

toe strap idea seems brilliant, will try tonight.

the tightness hasn't been a huge concern for me on tires ever since I bought that tool from scroddy. even find myself packing it in my bag for city rides for the 'just incase' factor

hmmm.....

may have to try some Ribmo's my next tire purchase (Spring, saving for winter studs right now).

have used Randos, Marathon Plus, and hardshell Gators. no problem mounting by hand. did not go blind, and have mad hand strength. wife was wrong about the interwebz. :)

almost got left hooked today. guy in the oncoming lane turned left in front of me (and the car next to me) with less than 10' to spare. really glad i saw him early and really really glad the car next to me didn't swerve onto me. the moron was texting while making a left turn. weird part is i have a guy on my caseload doing 7 1/2 to 12 years (vehicular manslaughter) for almost exactly the same thing. so dumb.

placed an order w/ Scrod, item was out of stock, and there was instant communication/resolution. best customer service.

fencing practice tonight, worked on Capo Ferro and, in a strange development, it didn't start raining until i got home. set up the Ridley w/ clip-on fenders for tomorrow's rainy commute.

zzzzz......

the two best polo players in town also ride ribmos and they say they lasts way longer than anything else they've bought and are always awesome, however they're on the 26" version

Today I installed a new bottom bracket and crankset on the 930.

Today I lusted after randonneur luggage. Cuz what I really need to do is add to the list of **** I can't really afford.

I put clipless pedals on my bike for the first time in a while and holy crap it was amazing.

Today I got in about 20 miles more than my usual commute for the first time in a while, also made it to work 3 minutes before I was supposed to be there :p

Today I:
 

Today my thumb got sucked into the cog while I was wiping my chain. No blood though, thankfully.

I did that last week with my ring finger, and it was gross, but not that painful.

Today I cut the steerer on the Kilo.

pics before and after? Not of the steerer - the whole bike.

I'm about to post a pic in the designated thread, I'll include a before pic(not mine, never took any).
