Dear Scrod,

Who is your favorite Mash SF rider? Rob? Andy? Maybe Emi?

Scrod,

Today when switching my cog when I was putting my lockring back on my hub stripped out where the lockring threads. I have done this countless times and I know the proper way of doing it so as far as I know it wasn't error on my behalf. I'm wondering why this happened? Could it just be because it is just an average non-fancy formula hub that isn't that nice anyways or could it be the lockring, which is also formula, that caused it?

Formula lockrings are known to have very badly-machined edges that can do a lot of damage to hub threads - especially after a few installs/uninstalls. I've seen some that have literally felt serrated, which isn't good. That's most likely the culprit.

Alright, thanks for the info. I think I'm gonna try a miche hub!

As we established on the first page, there is a retrogression thread in the SSFG Marketplace sub-forum. Questions of this nature should be asked there.

There's about a 6mm gap between my nds crank arm and the BB cup. No explosions.

scrod, or anyone

any reason I shouldn't get a miche rear hub to replace my formula?

Your LBS should have a torque wrench.

So who is it? Do you not like Andy, Rob, or Emi? Maybe Dirt or Jonathan?

Most important question you will ever answer: Jacob or Edward?

I have no idea what that means.

^And that's a good thing. Sadly, I somehow know what he's asking. And many preteen girls across the U.S. would know as well, and would scold you sarcastically for not knowing.

Scrod,

Would you combine tuesday and wednesday into one day where you had to work epically hard.
in exchange for another day on the weekend?

Let's call it Scroday.

Saturday, Sunday,Scroday.

I know I would.

Awesome.

My LBS mentioned that as I break in my new rear wheel the spoke tension will fluctuate and I should bring it in again for a quick check up. What does this involve (should I take off the tire first to save labor $?) and how long is the break in period?

I usually suggest 30 days or 30 miles, whichever happens first. As spokes settle and stretch a bit as you ride, your wheel will go slightly out of true and will need to be corrected to prevent damage. You don't necessarily need to remove the tire to true a wheel unless you've got a bad radial hop.

If your lbs built the wheel for you, they should offer the first tension/true check for free.

So Scroday would be spent hung over instead of Sunday?

I see that and raise you this:

Yeah, it's hard to stay mad and angsty for 30 years.

Keith Morris does a great job. The new Off! records are way more angry than anything the Circle Jerks ever did and he sounds better than ever. Rollins and MacKaye however...
