I like my ird technoglide headset. got it because cause of scrods recommendation and couldnt be more pleased. just wish I bought it from him to support.

Reamed, tapped, and faced the threadless bottom bracket shell on another Viscount I picked up a while ago. Does that constitute "drewing?"

Today temps were in the low 80's but very windy, so I broke out the geared bike and rode a 37 mile hilly route in full lycra racing kit. Spun out the 52 x 11 on one tailwind downhill, and saw 46 mph before it levelled out. Such fun !

HeeHeeHee.....

Today Nacho got a new pair of shoes:

Today I installed new shocks and sway bar end links on the Ranger. Waiting for ball joints and control arms to complete the remainder of the front end work. About to go play drums for a while at ze varehouse.



What is "drewing"? Do you tap it with French or Italian threads since the ID of the shell is 35mm? What do you ream it with?

Love that bike, the colors remind me of a Brigestone RB-1. Cheers!

Today I did 51 miles on 48/16 with 2328 in elevation change. It was 81 and sunny and it really felt good.

"Drewing" is removing original bits from a frame to irreversibly convert it to a "cleaner look," i.e. grinding off shift lever bosses or cable guides, or hacking off a derailleur hanger because you're converting to a fixed gear and thus supposedly have no need for things like shift lever bosses, cable guides or derailleur hangers.

I tapped it to Italian thread because the ID of the shell would not allow full-depth English thread to be cut. I used a Bicycle Research reamer to remove enough material for the Italian tap to engage:

Today it was discovered that mavic had 3 pairs of durocleats left. Well they now have 1 pair left.

Washed a set of my wheels for the last time. So long

my best friend is turning 30 this June, I was looking to buy tickets to take her to The Book of Mormon. Tickets are $185 each [nothing special]! I didn't realize plays were this expensive.

Judging from the cute size, do these meister S1's belong to a honda civic by chance?

jesus , a couple i know just went to see it, i had no idea they spent that much, theyre always complaining about being broke!

try some of this action, internetmachines got lots of cool **** noone knows about in nyc that are great for surprises and whatnot

No I had them on my Pontiac Sunfire.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
I lucked out, apparently her Father bought her tickets for the play so I can save some cash.

Nice works with some nice lip. What car do you have those on? Those look like 19's.

I had them on this for a second but they didn't look as good as my xt7s and dont look that great on my fd or r33 either so I figured I would sell them. I don't think I have any pics of them on my cars.

Now that's a combo you don't see everyday.

I ran a few searches but came up empty. Any idea where the term originated?

Luckily.

TIL: MASH storeroom is the slowest shipping store ever.... 5 days and still pre-shipment.

I think this is the origin.

You don't know what you're missing. Its hot.
