Wow. Exactly 1 week after me.

Since I'm not really convinced my headset bearing is sitting properly on the race, I'm thinking about looking into a new fork. Any recommendations on lightweight forks? The Leader ones seem a bit hefty...

Do you have a favorite movie?

The Leader carbon/steel fork is a little on the heavy side (for carbon) but it's a really nice fork, IMO. I'm not a weight weenie, so I don't really care all that much about the weight of certain components. I'm really happy with the S803 steel fork on my 722.

Wow. :lol:

That is a fantastic movie.

If I had to pick one all-time fave, that would be it.

A very close second would be Pump Up the Volume.

You guys,look into Hesher.

What is it about Falling Down that you like so much? Is it the story itself, or the deeper socio-political ideaologies that it presents?

And for some reason, whenever I hear the phrase "Pump Up The Volume" I think of this:

Yeah, I used to dig NOFX...

Pump is a good movie though. It has been forever since I've seen it. I think it's time I do so again.

Honestly thought until halfway through the trailer that JGL was gonna be his imaginary friend.

It's the overall story, the fact that Michael Douglas is an amazing bad guy/hero (I see him more as a hero) in that movie and all the underlying messages. I have a feeling a lot of people who see/have seen that movie don't get it and just think he's a maniac. Most people are oblivious of how completely ****ed up the world around them really is and when they see someone acting out against something unjust, it's easier to see a single person as crazy than it is to look at the bigger picture.

Also, I seem to have days like that all the time where I just feel like screaming "Clear a path, mother****ers! I'm going home!" and cutting down anyone in the world who gets in my way.

Scrod,
You can get the same gear inches with different size chainring and cog set-ups. ex: 46/16 and 49/17 are the same in gear inches and speed at X rpm. My question is do they feel the same when riding? Or would the larger rings be harder to pedal? Thanks.

They will feel pretty much the same when riding but larger gears feel slightly smoother.

Right on. Thanks.

I made my 710SL chain a bit short(my wheel is fairly forward in the dropouts) and I'm not sure the chain will be long enough to go up in cog size, which I'd like to do shortly. I have the few links of leftover chain and the pin(s) I pressed out completely. Is there any hope of me adding another link to this chain with its flared pins?

Never fully remove the pins. If you have enough links left over with the pins intact, you shouldn't have any trouble.

Scrodzy, I'm running 48x15(CR/kog)... Haven't been on a bike in like 10 years and its whooping my ass. Should I get a 17t kog? Or is my gear ratio pretty standard and I just need to man up.

48/15 really sucks if you're not used to it. Go 48/18 for a while and learn to spin.

edit: too slow

Now I know that, thanks.

Do you still have Soma cogs on the way?

i can't decide on clips and straps, or the v-track style straps.
i've ridden clips and straps (but only with crappy plastic clips), and clipless, which i very much like, but it isn't convenient for me while commuting to need dedicated shoes every day... never ridden the v-track style ones. any insight as to which i should go for, or pros/cons of each? looked through quite a few pages of threads and didn't find a suitable discussion on the topic.
i usually ride in vans-style shoes if that makes any diff.

Is this too far back in the dropouts? I just added a link to my chain and it put my axle back a bit further than I thought it might.
