Thanks mate. Sometimes daft ideas work and this seems to be one.

Two bolt setback? Hmm.

today i learned that a cut section of a 1 1/8" steertube can be used as as a 1" spacer

Today I washed my body with Dr. Bronner's Peppermint soap. It made me feel fresh, but it also hurt my junk :cry:.

Today I rode my bike across town to the store and bought some beer.

After that I rode to the mall and bought some movies at FYE. I picked up The Amityville Horror '79, Drag Me to Hell, The Legend of Boggy Creek, and Starship Troopers. Decided to take a different route home and stopped at 711 to grab an herbal tonic Arizona.

htfu

for serious, i love the tingles on my jingles

today my knockoff magicshine wire is done, looks like ill be starting a soldering project tomorrow

sup radioshack?

Details? I've been looking to build a light for a dyno hub I laced up a while back and was overwhelmed by the LED options and terminology.

nothing crazy, basically this happened:

so im just gonna (attempt to) repair it by getting a new dc jack for the end and soldering it up and heatshrink tube the repaired section

i remember reading a thing about simple projects when i was young that explained basica stuff youd need to know but for the life of me cant remember where it was, but im sure the google machine can help you out

Today I watched you guys get trolled by some dude asking about a bike check

Yesterday I watched the 41 blow up over BB30. It was quite enjoyable.

let's start here too:

screw bb30 (no pun intended)

I don't know why everyone hates it. I've had 2 BB30 bikes without an issue or creak. One was a CX race bike too.

Am I allowed to admit that I have no idea what you're talking about?

New-ish bottom bracket standard that is a press-fit, and specs call for loctite.

It gets interesting once the character "Danielle" gets involved. Around page 9.

Agreed.

Heck I even have an adapter in mine. >.>
Not to mention I can practically turn my dogma into a sw33t fixie mang with an eccentric BB. :D

I can just imagine the people feeding that thread going "BB30?...... BAH HUMBUGGGGggggg".

square taper for life!

I just say yes to all formats.

I have a GXP crank but am too scared to get accompanying BB.

Strange new world and all :)

my experience has been on one bike and was assembled at my local low-tech mom-n-pop bike shop that I have been using for years, so take my opinion for what it's worth.

im confident that high-end roadie shops with appropriately trained mechanics dish out bb30 bikes to customers all the time without problems.

but that's exactly my issue - i don't think the hassle is worth it and hate going to uber ego high end roadie shops. until the technology becomes more widepread and less problematic for every-day mechanics and cyclists its not worth it to me.

ill continue to ride my shimano cranks, thank you very much. dura ace cranks are a thing of aesthetic and functional beauty.

also im an experienced, fit, middle of the road racer whos plenty powerful and i doubt the stiffness and weight advantages of bb30 have ever made a difference for me in a race situation.

It really doesn't matter. If you install either system correctly, then it'll work fine.

Today, I set out to do a 34ish mile loop on my fixed gear bicycle, and long story short, decided to go exploring and ended up doing 53.4 miles. Probably would have just done a metric century if I didn't have to get back and get ready for work. Started riding in early august, and my previous longest loop was 34.3 miles, so I was happy with that. Working towards my first century!

well thats exactly my issue

Nice job, anything over 50miles fixed is definitely an accomplishment. My legs burn whenever I do something like that.

I've got a spare GXP BB laying around, think it's missing the nds dust cap though.
