So are a lot of things. I'm not here to talk about them all.

I think people who eat pizza with a fork are pretty silly.

Because they're two different frames made of different steel by a different factories in different countries.

Sometimes, out near the point, it is just too soft. Silly, but practical.

I agree with this, especially if said slice is loaded with meat and other deliciousness.

It's all about technique.

Scrodzilla 07-28-15 04:21 PM

Dude, that pizza has nothing on it. I'm not talking about not being able to pick up some bare-ass slice, I'm talking about some fully loaded meat-loving ****.

Signature worthy!

ive itched to ask this question for probably a year now.... why is no one ever talking about the halo rims and hubs... ive had one of their wheelset (aerotrack) for a little more than a year and am nothing but amazed by the performance of it and its sturdiness. I have friends throwing canadian winters at them and they still ride silky smooth.

Ive been following this thread and forum for a while but rarely have seen reference to it.

Maybe im flooding this thread with useless questions, but i feel they deserve recognition.

Scrodzilla 07-28-15 04:50 PM

I know someone riding the Halo AeroWarrior track wheelset and it's pretty awesome (even by my extremely picky wheel standards).

My shop used to offer Halo track hubs and very literally, nobody bought them.

always fold. especially in the beginning, and eat the unstable portion in one bite, regardless of size.

Scrodzilla 07-28-15 05:43 PM

Folding a slice of pizza is a New York move for sure. I'm eating, not making paper airplanes.

Mumonkan 07-28-15 05:46 PM

we dont got time for luxuries n **** like savoring our food in new york, were ****ing busy. inhale food as rapidly as possible so we can make it to the board meeting and fire 12% of the company in 3.4 minutes

I defy you to tell me how to fold this (without making a bigger mess that is).

Don't get me wrong, I've had some foldable slices that were great, but sometimes, you gotta pull out the fork (and, yes, this is still pizza no matter what some people say).

prooftheory 07-28-15 07:48 PM

In Italy, you order a pizza and you get a pizza, the whole thing, no slices and you eat from one side to the other with a fork and knife.

Fold, and let the tip point downwards. Don't hold it horizontally until after those critical first two bites.

Yes.

Calling that a pizza is being overly generous.

In Rome, do as the Romans.

I am sorry. One does not simply pick up a piece of Chicago style pizza and "fold it."

:lol:

Adding to the discussion, I have friends who don't consider Chicago style as "pizza".

Muffin Man 07-29-15 12:51 AM

I just want any pizza now :(

Nagrom_ 07-29-15 01:26 AM

I had pizza tonight. I didn't fold a thing and it didn't come served in a pie tin.

You people are sick.

what type of grease should one use on an aluminum seatpost in a steel frame to prevent corrosion? i tried just regular grease but have had problems with my seatpost slipping. is it ok to use carbon assembly paste?

I've had the same issue using Park Tool Grease. Using the appropriate sized seatpost (unless it got reamed bigger somehow, or the post is abnormally small) and I clamping the post to the point that I'm afraid of permanently bending the ears and I still see a little slippage, so I'd love to know the answer as well.

mike868y 07-29-15 08:41 AM

considering carbon paste is just grease with little balls in it to add friction i don't see why they would be an issue, just want to make sure.

I often use carbon paste on my seatposts regardless of what the post or the frame is made of. It allows for proper clamping without slippage using less torque.

mike868y 07-29-15 09:24 AM

awesome, good to know.
