Today I spent two ****ing hours adjusting a set of old-ass canti's, and they still aren't right. The rear refuses to lock up. Very frustrating.
Helped me immensely when learning to set up cantilever brakes. |

well I am going to be re-locating back to the mountains within 40minutes of summit county (which is home to most of the major ski resorts in CO) and want to start learning how to ride some of the bike parks out there. It was something a group of friends got into in HS, and I never really got the chance to try it out due to funds, athletic invovlement, etc.
ha maybe I'm just spending too much watching their GoPros on facebook and im missing jumping bikes. Its probably not going to happen, but I'm going to start researching and scanning CL. I dont even know i they make those in a frame size I could fit on... |
Today I received my bulk lot of quill stems and found a surprisingly visually pleasing and fitting stem to go on my cdale track.
Note to self: do not overlook less known brands.

What you can do is go the rental route in order to find out if it's worth it for you.

I know how to set up cantis. These are just worn out and I suspect they didn't work all that well when they were new (Deerhead).

but i might put gators on. these open course evo cx (while ****ing lightning sex at any angle or velocity) will puncture if you mention glass in conversation withing three blocks of their earshot. which is hard to do when i have a whole other wheelset with 28c randonneurs on that is super easy to throw on instead of doing two tire/tube changes because i got two flats in 20 miles today... |

I have the joys of that too in a part of my house, only problem is we're on the same line and he has a slower package. |

Today i was unable to sleep in on my only day off due to the fact that theyre repaving my street since 6 am.
My street didnt even need paving. Most of the roads i ride on for my commute are basically mtb obstacle courses, fix those!

lol
dat hatch doe |
i do want to drive the frs again tho, now that i don't suck at manual
|
Isn't the mazdaspeed 3 turbocharged lol
|
yea it's fast
|
Sw8t
I think I'm going to buy an impreza hatch in a few months. |
imo the regular mazda 3 is more fun to drive than the regular impreza. AWD is cool but seems kind of useless for CA.
but i also like the MS3 more than the WRX so maybe i'm biased. why $30k and only 5 speed manual? WRX is also hecka 'spensive for insuranzzzz... almost twice as much as the MS3 for me. i'd drive an STI tho, dat 6 speed |

Yeah seems like Mazda 3 and Impreza are the top choices for the sub 20k group. I've heard people from both sides saying each is funner to drive. Some say the Impreza feels sluggish compared to the Mazda 3. Although I guess AWD could come in handy every half a year or something..
If money wasn't an issue or I didn't have a need for a hatch, I'd pick the RX-8 or Miata any day. IMO, AWD isn't that useful for normal driving. Even in Seattle (where it rains 99% of the year) FWD is fine. If it snows in CA, you should just go hide in a hole. |
