I decided to run with a coworker at lunch today and man my **** is so sore today

I felt like I could have gone for much longer (was 2.5mi), but I knew that if I did my muscles and joints would be even more rocked today

Today I'm working my woodshop monitor shift, and then covering the second shift as well, so will be sitting in an empty woodshop all day. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to think up any awesome projects to keep myself occupied.

Maybe I'm late, but today I saw this:


The right way to ride a Pinarello.

Kind of late but I always enjoy watching that.

And tell me again why you need some FGFS specific frame for trickin'

The house I own now is two miles away from where I was working when I bought it. Work went away, now it is a 60-mile commute each way.

man, 3 weeks ago Martyn was paralyzed at a moto gp event doing trials.
sucks.

Today I noticed the master link in my cheapo KMC z410 chain on my commuter is broken, the retainer clip split in half and is just spinning around loosely. The chain was only $6 on Amazon; a new master link is $3; just bought another chain (same one). It lasted a little over a year, and I didn't treat it nicely, not bad for $6 right?

ive used 2 of these for about 1k miles each and i never use the master link, just put a link in there youll be good

also re: ashton

that really sucks but hes great that he has such a positive attitude about it all

cali_axela 09-27-13 10:08 PM

Yeah I probably won't use a master link with the new chain, it seems pretty pointless on a fixed/ss chain. But this one is pretty worn anyways so might as well just replace it.

Wow, that does suck. He is obviously one talented ****er.

Mumonkan 09-28-13 01:56 PM

How to perform such magic?

He was injured, but I didn't see anything saying that he was permanently paralyzed.

johnnytheboy 09-28-13 03:06 PM

"The initial prognosis of the injury is not positive and Ashton is reported to have lost feeling below the point of injury to the T9 and 10 vertebrae – about halfway down the spine."

lets not get crazy now, was on a derailleur bike

basically just picked it off the bb shell and started it on the chainring and finished out the pedalstroke and was good to go

note to self: need paul chain keeper nao tho.

seau grateau 09-28-13 04:03 PM

Oh I do that with my front derailleur once in a while. Speaking of which, I should probably adjust that thing so it stops throwing the chain off the big ring.

Thanks for crushing our dreams.

Mumonkan 09-28-13 09:46 PM

i dont really see how it would be possible to do it on a fg and retain all your fingers after you put it on the cog

today i received shipping info for a replacement IGH internal cartridge and shifter with basically no questions asked besides "120 or 130mm OLD"
sturmey archer got some good service, totally free even though it was bought secondhand

i also realized that flat routes pretty much suck, need moar climb.

I've done this. I got many accolades from my riding partners for performing this magic. Welcome to the cool kid club.

johnnytheboy 09-29-13 02:21 PM

today i did a metric century in brutal windy conditions, ate a burrito and am now watching the pixies itunes festival performance.

also, it'd be more pro if you guys didn't drop your chains. :p

Me and the roomie got the hipster wall complete.

Today I went and watched some of the Gloucester Grand Prix CX with my girlfriend. After watching the elite womens ride she wants a CX bike. I'm ok with this.
