Yup. On a worn chainring, teeth would be pointier, or even somewhat hook-shaped. You would also see a tiny bit of aluminum bulging on either side of most teeth on a worn chainring. And a new chain would be noisy and just feel kinda ****ty while pedaling on a worn chainring.

Yea the chainrings I had before on the KHS didnt have the ramps on the teeth, so I didnt know what I was looking at.

Today I discovered the purpose of the little D-ring on the side of my mess bag: stabilizer strap.
Eureka! No more shifty bag action.

Good day for you, good day for me haha
Today I went through classes, did a little running around on the bike, and hung around the apartment. Then I went and signed up my indoor soccer team and played some pickup for two hours with a group of friends and a bunch of saudi kids who showed up. My feet hurt, my legs are sore, and I really don't want to go to class tomorrow. Hooray being done at noon. Its going to be in the 50's all weekend, so getting mileage in is a must. As soon as it stops raining.

We have a bigger population of chinese/korean and Indian students than from any of the arab countries. I will say though, those guys were all really cool, and a blast to play with/against. And they know how to ****ing play.

I've come to hate PedalRoom and don't even look at it anymore. I'm never bored enough to even waste my time on that **** stain of a forum.

Yeah, the guys out here formed a soccer club. They're crazy about soccer, as well as Playstation 3 and hashish.

Fun commute today. Also, good thing I checked the seat post, was starting to seize in the frame. Since there was ten tons of extra post, I simply cut about 5" off of it, which still left plenty to safely have it at the height I need it and enough sticking in the frame.

Today I found out I have a strained tendon in my left shin (from ****ing running, of all things). Going to miss one race and a week/week and a half of riding.

It's a good thing to rest it. A strain can get much worse.
