Surely Velocult left some sort of hole in the SD LBS scene.

Today I watched Fixation on netflix and decided to wander back to bikeforums to see what's happening.

And now I want to ride my bike but probably won't be able to today.

They did but Adams Ave is a pretty good shop too. North Park is a cool spot and super trendy right now but all that comes with a price tag.

Today I managed to get 40 miles in without getting stormed on.

Watched some fixie kid with a gold and blue bike try to turn on one of the painted intersections after a fresh rain today, he hit the ground and I just started busting up laughing. He got up and gave me a glare but I know he just felt shame.

My car was pelted by hail this afternoon on my commute home. The hail looked to be between pea and marble size and it sounded like bullets hitting the roof. I can't imagine getting hit by that stuff. I have no doubt it must hurt!

Flick yourself hard on the inside of your one arm. That's what it feels like only multiplied a bunch of times in terms of frequency.

Hail only lasted a few minutes, and I was just happy to have the experience

I need a new BB on the Nishiki, but the shell is fubard. Also need a new drive side crank arm and non drive side pedal.

Think I'm gonna ride it to the coop tomorrow and see what I can find for a drive train.

They did. It's still empty. RG would be perfect down here.

Schweet. I know two dudes from GNV who are also starting the Divide about this time. Best of luck to all three riders.

If you can't retap your threads, you could file them out and use the Sunlite threadless repair BB. It works very well:
