Grease your rails?

hairnet 03-27-13 03:57 PM

It's the saddle. I could physically rock the saddle and see the rails move around where they're supposed to be attached. The first one was also cracking where the rails inserted.

whoa.

Today I rode just over 60 miles with my previous colleague/manager. Went over the george washington bridge and rode up along the hudson. We did an average speed of 16mph. I feel awesome since I have my kilo and he has a full carbon specialized :D

Just means you're winning, or something like that.

thats the saddle i was looking into for my bolt to....

anybody else have bas experiences with it?

Pretty sure he's just been getting flukes. Specialized makes one hell of a saddle.

Today was all about spinning. Did a nice 25ish miles in low gear. Mashing is over.

hairnet 03-27-13 06:23 PM

I'm putting up with it because I find it comfortable. To the shop's credit, they did the exchanges for me hassle free, and I assume other Specialized dealers would do the same.

Dannihilator 03-27-13 06:33 PM

Today I made the decision, that I am going for fun on the dmr from here on out. No expectations made my session completely worth it.

Thats how I've ridden the BMX bike for years. Never really learned a lot of tricks, basically just go out and cruise, and throw it around on/off whatever looks fun. Its just as freeing as hitting the road and putting in long miles on the fixed gear, but in a different way.

The painter. Some of my artsier Facebook friends were putting up Rothko images as their avatars yesterday.

Today I: finally got to try out my new bike. Not FG/SS, but I put a lot of thought into the parts, and am really happy with how they work together. :)

seau grateau 03-27-13 08:04 PM

Nice!

That sounds awesome.

Today I went to the SJ Sharks game.

Awesome game, sat in the 7th row and we won 4-0. Today was a good day.

You used to do it for something other than fun?

Must be the younger and more edgy Fred thing to do. Get out while there's still time!

Oh yeah, today I'm finally going to get around to some bike maintenance.

misskaz 03-28-13 07:56 AM

Today I hope my boyfriend isn't still super angry about the freewheel the LBS put on his new bike breaking on this commute home. (They did it for free, but still it was his second day commuting to work on the new bike.)

I told him to just flip the wheel to the fixed cog, heh. one of us! one of us!

Today I walked out to my garage to find the lock busted off. My buddy's Trek 1400 was stolen, along with all my air tools, a couple sets of wrenches and my BRAND NEW DREMEL.

Police report's filed, and I've got a claim in on my renter's insurance. I had to call in sick to wait for the landladies to come and replace the garage door. If the insurance adjuster lowballs me on the ****ing bike I'm going to lose my mind.

jdgesus 03-28-13 09:26 AM

FUUUUUUUU

hate theefs

Jaytron 03-28-13 10:04 AM

My neighbors got robbed a few days ago. :C

All my bikes are locked together in my room in hopes they just steal my TV instead.

Bring back the "cut your hand off if you're a thief" policy imo. Capital punishment would probably be a decent deterrent.
