Today I snapped the chain on the dmr, which managed to get in the spokes and wreck the wheel, where I notice the axle is messed up on the hub. Put the old wheel on(yes the one with the surly hub.) I don't think I will ever complain about surly hubs ever again, very easy to replace an axle.

For the last time, Surly hubs aren't bad. Glad you've seen the light Dano

Which Chrome bag do you have? Also how do you like it? I'm looking for a bag with a few more pocketed compartments. My bag only has 1 main pouch and a small zip pouch on the inside, its really basic and plain. I've been trying to decide between Chrome of Mission Workshop

Using the Chrome Berlin currently. Aside from the gigantic main compartment it has an extra "hidden" compartment and two outside pockets. It was awesome when I was a messenger because it is huge and can fit everything. Nowadays it's overkill for my needs. I'm thinking of going with MW for a smaller bag in the future because I feel like they improved on a lot of Chrome's shortcomings. The roll-top design of their single-strap bags doesn't seem ideal for messenger work but I don't care because I don't do that anymore.

So me and the roommates rollers came in today and after about a six pack we unpacked them and tried them out, getting started without something to grab onto was kind of an issue but after that, it's cake. I don't know why people think they are difficult, here's a video of me after like 30 seconds of roller time, I know I'm super bouncy but it happens.

Also, buttcrack.

Are you a plumber ?

Sure seems that way.

Rolled out 90 miles with the sqrlfriend. Today was a good day.

Yesterday night, I went to a haunted corn maze with some friends. I hate chainsaws. Still fun tho.

Today I have the short head tube/long quill blues. Tomorrow I'm hopefully finding the time to grind that stem down and get my De Bernardi set up.

Today I got a new chain for the dmr and had a very good street ride afterwards.

Today I'm stressin about finding a new place to live.

VAR jack like a mother****er. ;)

last night went out for a bro night with my buddy whos gettin married next week, 2 dudes bailed so we just hopped around to a bunch bars in the city

went to mcsorleys which is the awesomest most irish drunk place ever, could stay there all day

then went to johnnys no 43, the most hipster place ive ever encountered but lemme say, these hipsters know how to do craft artesinal limited run handmade homestyle everything right

craft beers with chipotle so good it was like you were eating a pepper filled with booze, and probably the best cider ive ever had, was like homeade applesauce still hot from the pot

then grits with shrimp and thick cut bacon, goddamn.

glad those other dudes bailed cuz we wouldve just went to some ****haus and stayed there all night drinking bud light

Today I noticed a dent in my TT. I haven't the slightest of clue how or when it happened? It's tiny I'm not worried about it but I am confused.

u lock? ive chipped my paint a bunch of times when locking up from the ends of the ulock smacking against my bike cuz im in a hurry or clumsy or drunk

Wilson doesn't stop, let alone lock up. I don't even think he owns one.

Today a buddy is selling me a full campy record group for my Merckx. Excited.

Also I just ate way too much Thai food. So delicious....

Pulled the monocog off the hook today, and the front brake is totally soft. I hope it's just air in the lines.

Now I grill ALL THE STEAK.

I'm sick. Colds suck.

Don't ever hang a bike with hydraulic brakes....air in the system is generally a non-issue until it reaches the lever. The good news is now you know you have air in the lines, so all it probably needs is a simple bleed.

Today I rode dirt. Well, this evening...

today i realized that after accomplishing my main goals for the year (acquire road bike, do brevet of 120+ miles, and climb bear mtn) that i was taking riding way too seriously for a good portion of this year

now i want a short ride bike with risers to just be casual on and a mtb to catch some air

what rollers did you get?

Gotta ride to school tomorrow because BART is on strike.
