Today I returned to BF after a very lengthy hiatus. Got spoiled with packages from Ballast Point and Bird Rock coffee by sqrlfriend, and am currently lurking the SD Craigslist for jobs/apts. Do I have any BF buddies fromSan Diego with any leads on the above? [MENTION=164476]Scrodzilla[/MENTION] [MENTION=89773]TMonk[/MENTION] [MENTION=180928]Leukybear[/MENTION] HALP PLZ. Or anybody else in SD, really.

Willing to do essentially anything. I have a background in copy writing/editing, construction and I did some wrenching on bikes for a ****ty big box store. I currently work as quality assurance for an insurance reporting company, and like it - so office jobs don't really bum me out either. Any tips are much appreciated! Hoping to make the move before the end of the summer.
EDIT: I also spent time as a coffee service tech - basically troubleshooting and fixing anything coffee went into or out of (much more complicated than it sounds) and QC'ing cafe procedure/barista stuffs.

Bought a 23t rear cog for my fixed gear.
I was riding 40 miles round trip to work and back 3 days a week. SO I had my bike geared pretty stupid 60/19.
Now living in the city doing a lot more city riding and only being a little under 20 mile round trip to work I decided to go up in the back.

You've been missing out this entire time; almost 3 years I believe since they first introduced it.
The red label has a better texture imo if you like bits of cookie still in mix.

Super bummed today.
Pasela PT's are not up to the task of daily commuting as-is w/o any aftermarket UV protection. 8 months of sun going to and from work for was all too much for it; I store my bike inside my office.
I even bought a $20 bottle of pedro's bike lust but it was too little too late.
Farewell sweet prince. All good things must come to an end I suppose.
I still got my money's worth and then some FWIW.

*That's not a dent in the rim, it's a reflection on the hi-polishness.

So i just double checked my Saddle, The middle part is completely flat, 0' on the bubble. The nose is off by a few degrees forward and the seat back has quit a bit of an angle just by itself. Which part of my saddle should be parallel to the ground? i noticed a bit of slipping forward this morning, but it wasn't stressing out my wrists or arms.
