I'm going to buy a carbon tubular rear (~60mm) with some of my tax return $$$ this year, most likely used from fleabay.

nice. maybe I will glue these ones myself as well.
|
Gluing tubulars is a lot easier than you'd think, the difficult part is motivating yourself to clean the old glue off.
|
Be sure to get some of these if you're running tubulars:

I'm lazy about that, only clean the glue off after 3 tires. I'll probably die on a corner someday...

Did a training today for over 200 people in my specialty area. I am an introvert functioning as an extrovert, and this makes me more tired than a day of MTBing. Just spent!
But, one cool thing, one of my kids was there in the crowd today, getting to see his old man standing and delivering. |
Today I: decided that I should finally get around to getting an air compressor.
Anybody have suggestions for a compressor and inflator chuck to go with it? I've been eyeing the park tool shop inflator. Are harbor freight compressors good for non-standby occasional use? |
Harbor Freight is total junk and very dangerous. For cheap stuff get Husky at Home Depot or Kobalt at Lowe's. Make sure the tank is ASME certified.
|
I've got a harbor freight that works great. Only really use it for seating tubeless tires.
|
Sold the Enves, so today was my last ride on them. 87.5 miles of whoosh whoosh to send them on their way.
|
Picked up a Viner Special Professional track frameset. Guessing 70's/80's.
Paint is a bit dull and some nicks in the paint...but no dents. Can't wait to build it up. Pic... http://i65.tinypic.com/287q26g.jpg |

You have to appreciate a culture that carries disposable shot glasses at the supermarket. (With the label in five different languages)

CL is yer friend :thumb: I ended up getting one of these guys off of there: http://www.mastertoolrepair.com/thum...0_5715K17.jpeg Def not as clean and paint chip free but it was rebuilt rather recently with a new motor and had the tanks borescoped for rust. Overkill? Yes of course but it was cheap off a guy moving across the country! |
are there small compressors that arent powered by a gas motor that i can use inside?

It's actually the latter, a small gasoline compressor, that's very very uncommon. With the rol air wheelbarrow style compressor I scored off CL, they're usually used with honda gasoline engines and actually can be retrofitted if I so choose to with motor mount drillings already there on the top mounting rail. |
TIL that my headphones totally died in one of the pockets of randobag. oops.
