Tejano doesn't your key fob have a pull out key tucked away inside?
The mini key just lets you gain entry to the car. It won't let you start it.

Nope. Ford C-Max. I drove a Prius and it's gutless. The C-Max has decent power, but gets considerably lower mileage than the Prius.

Ooooh yeahhh. I haven't found out the hard way yet.
I guess it'll go along the lines of realizing there's the hidden key in the fob, opening the door excitedly and having that build up of hope dashed realizing there's no ignition key switch to begin with.

Where did you find 155mm cranks ?
They're Origin 8 110 bcd cranks. They work for both single and double ring setups. I got them from my LBS but they can be found on eBay for pretty cheap. I think I will eventually upgrade to some Rotor 155 or 160mm cranks.

Thanks people :) Am converted for sure! It was a gamble. I put all my money and effort into believing I would like it when building my bike. And I do like it. It's fun and I feel connected with my bike. All the cliches are true.

What length X2 are you looking for?

Also, the steering is electric with no direct mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the wheels. Scary !

I was refering to my 2013 C-MAX hybrid, not my 1986 Mustang.

Today I: threw a spare pack of CR2032's in the glove box & a print out on how to replace the battery for both his & her cars.
Surprisingly they both used the same battery.

#problemsolved :D

Sherblock 04-01-15 02:37 PM
I hope you're ok! Minus the missing possessions, of course.

that blows. i got mugged at knifepoint once literally behind the main police precinct in my area. it was scary and i was sad and angry and things i couldnt express, but theyre just possessions, you can replace things but not you.

look at this way, N+1 is in your future.

I ain't even mad.

Unkle Rico 04-01-15 05:56 PM
I do, however live near the tenerloin which is supremely sketchy most hours of the day. Sadly this situation could potentially occur :(

Huffandstuff 04-01-15 06:02 PM
Could of called that one.

Now for a real tragedy, my chain lube lid was loose and decided to lube everything in the drawer.
