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)

Repacked a set of MKS pedals and HOLY **** THE DUST CAPS. That's officially my least favorite bike job.

The puddle underneath my car appears to be a fluke. I tossed a piece of cardboard under there last night and it was bone-dry this morning. Needed coolant topped off though, so I'm glad I checked.

Got my homework done too. NOTBAD.jpg

Yup, the 35mm track rake has reversed dropouts

Today I woke up to $400 of charges on my credit/debit card account that I didn't make. Then I called my bank and the company the charges were made with, staying on the phone for an hour trying to sort everything out. The worst part is that I can't pay off the rest of what I owe on my bike that's just sitting at the bike store, finished and ready to be ridden. Talk about **** timing

Haha, that wouldn't even cut anything for me.

I usually do a 2-3 all the way around. Forget going to a shop and paying $20 a pop when a set of good clippers costs like $40.

I also hardly ever get sick, and have this cold weather commuting down to a fine science. Doesn't hurt that I went to college in NH.
