Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Yeah, I didn't walk those miles for no reason!

i try to limit my cookie butter intake to randofoodz, and i like the biscoffs crunchy one better, iirc theres actually less ingredients. for some reason when you first open the jar of the tjs one it doesnt smell like something youd want to eat

dried fruit binging however, is a victimless crime

Biscoff butter is the best. I try to avoid getting it so I don't eat a ton of it at once.

Dried apricots are something I can't buy because whatever weight I buy it in, it's gone the same night.

Tonight I began lacing up my first wheel build. The first side goes perfect. As soon as I start lacing the opposite side the whole thing goes wacky and I get past the third spoke before all the spokes seem too short. When I pull the out the spokes from the second side, everything seems peachy. Tons of slack for the hub to sit centered (and then some). I can't make sense of it.

EDIT: I think I was I probably off 1 hole from where I needed to start on the second side. This is going to bother me all day at work.


Also, I put new bearings in my old rear hub and there's still just a smidge of play (like .003". So annoying.)

Welcome to the Multi-E club.

Anything Sidi with Mega in the name is wide.

New Balance sneakers come in widths. Nike was always too narrow but they changed their lasts a few years ago and I can find some that fit nicely nowadays.
