I see.. :twitchy:

Oh man, thats like finding a $20 in a coat pocket or something.. Well done!

I can thank my years of night riding for making my few randos possible. Insanity? Staying in your own head for extended periods is something many cannot do, but I like it.

WAT

man.....

A deal you can't refuse.

I don't like in-n-out burger fries.

Got my shoes today from the shop. http://s4.postimg.org/r3ooa4ey5/KIMG0022.jpg

Yeah, me neither.....

Del Taco's fries are better.

Smother in mayo. Voila!

"Animal Style", man!

Agreed!

Waiting for Bill to give me a bath!

Agreed.

Hot!

That kind of riding is crazy! I don't have the attention span to be on the bike for that long, I get bored after a few hours.

Today I'm going to research chain tensioners.. Any suggestions?

As in for a singlespeed conversion? I use a Surly Singleator and it does the job well. A little finicky to adjust and you have to bolt it down scary tight for it not to back out when hammering, but it's solid once you've got it dialed.

I guess i should have been more clear what i was looking for :) -- I have a bianchi pista that has horizontal dropouts but i keep ever so slightly yanking the wheel out of alignment when jamming hard -- I'm lookin for the mks style of chain tensioner :thumb:

You gotta be real careful to not overtighten those things. It will destroy SOMETHING in yer driveline, like the bb or wheel bearings. Also, they are a pain in the ass when it's time to change a flat.

Hmm.. You do have a point there about the flats though. Havent gotten one in almost a year (knock on wood) and always carry tool kit with me..

I should probably just shutup and ride :thumb:

Hey a little off topic, but I was wondering if you've ever seen this boat... Me and mi chica rented a Ducati and rode north of SF and came across this. Took the pic with the Pentax K1000 that I stole from my high school.

I bought simple chain tensioners to "simplify" the adjustment process when reinstalling a wheel.

They achieve the opposite. It's the opposite of "Set-it-and-forget-it"

EVERYTHING about them was a PAIN in the azz. The nylon nut meant slow going, so I replaced them with regulars nuts (2 each) for jam nuts. Well, obviosly that adds a step and a second wrench is needed. Pushing the wheel forward for removal of chain requires total "undoing" of the adjustment. Using them to adjust slack was finicky at best.

I hated them. :)

I went back to doing things "the hard way" and was totally stoked.

Nice pic :thumb:

That ship wreck is up in Tomales Bay -- There are some great roads up there, been meaning to get up there on my bike!

Hmm.. Another good point. Well **** it, just gonna do nothing. Thanks Squid :thumb:

Yeah it's weird. It's just sitting behind a convenient store right in Inverness, on PCH. If you look close you can see it says "Pt. Reyes" on it.

I have these MKS ones on my SS. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=458647They are relatively easy to set and adjust. Overall, I like them. The only thing I don't like is it adds a couple extra steps to remove/reinstall the rear wheel, but after doing it a few times, it's not so bad.
