I don't know what happened but the Rd wrapped it self over the top of the cassette. I can recall some chain slap and then the whole thing jamming up. I'm fine by my leg is a bloody mess now :-P

sharpie your nails?

I was going to ask about

Ordinary nail polish

So it looks like I will be leaving my security blanket of Japan and heading to Maryland, somewheres between Baltimore and DC :-/ Anyone from around there? Should I start another life insurance policy on myself?

I feel your pain.

That one looks more expensive than Hairnet's

Actually, it would have been a simple RD replacement, but the guy at the shop rebuilt the RD trying to save me money. It didn't work so great, within a week the chain jumped off the jockey wheel and wrapped the RD around the cassette again, this time cracking the frame. Fuji was nice and gave me a deep discounted frame that was better than the original, but negotiations took over a month and in that time, I got pissed off and went out and bought a new cannondale.

Oof that sucks. I had a buddy who had the same thing happen to him during a climb. We heard a strained "woah" during a climb and at the top we noticed he was standing at the bottom seemingly okay. It was until we came closer that he had gashed himself against his big ring. His white sidis were never the same again.

Sup sqrl' :p

Philip Seymour Hoffman. : [

Let's see. Name of actor w/o recent bad movie paired with unsmilie face..... Died?

EDIT: Yup, done kicked dem bucket. Poor lil' feller.

I'm not sure if "lil" would be the proper adjective...still, he was one of the good ones. I enjoyed everything I've ever seen of his.

Today I got to go on my first real geared ride, ****s hard.

brandt can't watch, though, or he has to pay a hundred.

Ouch. Is that a chainring bite? I have plenty of those. The pedals got me this time.

Today I drove all day to Staten Island. Once here, i had some excellent Chinese food.

Went on a 40 miler with the roommate/his GF out to the summertime beach, makes me want summer back so bad. Pace was a bit slower than I'd like but it was a beautiful day.

Work. I am visiting a client here, the paper mill.

It is snowing this morning, so not a very auspicious beginning.

Yeah, mine was chainring...haven't had the pleasure of the pedals getting me yet.

oh cool, they provide paper for the college where i work and it makes the highway smell like weird stuff sometimes (bandaids, dogfood, sprite)

but yeah dont expect this snow to go much of anywhere, sanitation sucks on this rock
