Today I tried to DJ, but messed up the rear wheel on the first pass, so went home, got changed and went for a soggy 30 miles.

Today was overcast and still too warm. The fire roads were good and I did my first gravel descent with corners. oh shiz and fish tails. I need a new cassette because I'm not manly enough to crank a 28t cog out there.

Nothing feels better than the first ride on a new bike. Adjusted my hubs on my old kilo wheels and did a complete once over of the bike. Took it around the block and fell in love. Feels somewhat different than my old kilo despite 90% of the parts bein from my old bike. Maybe it's the lugs making me feel classy

Dannihilator 06-06-13 07:51 PM

Nice.

Took the stumpy on a nice meandering ride around town with my wife on her schwinn. The bike is just effortless to ride, and super comfortable with the brooks on it.

Also, cheesecake on a stick is good in theory, awful in practice.

Today I started using strava.

Did this beastly ass climb:

Haha, I hope you weren't disappointed.

Dannihilator 06-06-13 09:00 PM

Wasn't, my account will be most likely extremely boring. Don't own anything with gps outside of the nook and I don't ride with that on hand.

Same here, just a Nexus 7. So I will only log rides I do with a backpack, so basically commuting.

Can't blame gloves either at this time of year. I go gloveless from beginning of june until end of october.

One of the reasons I exclusively run any tape in black.

If it's bothering you too much, you could use a magic eraser on it although repeated use will disintegrate the tape over time...

Dannihilator 06-06-13 09:20 PM

The top layer of the tape is separating from the rest of the tape.

Welp I definitely wasn't paying enough attention back there. :lol:

Oh yeah, it helps to use some clear nail polish to seal it up as I'm sure you've figured it peels collaterally.

commuting sometimes makes the best stories, most of my strava is commuting too but i always log the "rides"

totally poached some bfssfg bros/girls off you, im not ashamed of it.

Dannihilator 06-06-13 09:37 PM

Ok, need to figure out how to attach pedal boat paddles to the 930, may need them tomorrow...

Dannihilator 06-06-13 09:39 PM

I have an idea for the next wheelset, will be custom and cool.

Mumonkan 06-06-13 09:48 PM

i was just leaned back in my chair reading a page on my computer, went to put it back down to level and one of the legs landed ON MY ****ING BIG TOE.

****ING **** ****

Dannihilator 06-06-13 09:52 PM

My father did this about 10 years ago on christmas eve and it resulted in his entire toe nail on his right big toe getting ripped off and a christmas morning trip to the doctors office, busted a bone in his foot.
