    Chilly vinter riding

    Wow... Surely you couldn't be talking about the same guy that bases his opinion based on his homebuilt version of another design!! One that was so bad, he had to cut it up... Surely not!! Mark

    Conversion kit for sale

    That's a great deal! Sorry you didn't care for the FWD. I guess it's not for everybody! Mark

    Century!!!!

    Thanks, Marc. Being sick is no fun, you have my sympathies. It was a good day, but I was pretty beat when I got home. It took a little while to recover. I had my usual recovery drink and that didn't help matters any. A bottle of IPA didn't help much, either. I had some pasta/chicken dish...

    Century!!!!

    The weatherman said it was going to be in the upper seventies today with no wind to speak of. That's too much to pass up on when you're a cyclist! My miles for January were kind of down from where I'd like them and since I hadn't done a century yet this year, I decided today would be a great...

    So confusing, the FWD stuff!

    I didn't take any wheels in. I asked for cones for my rear wheel, not thinking about it actually being a front wheel. I did not confuse anybody other than myself. That was the point. It got sorted out just fine, thanks! Mark

    Commute to work

    My boss is a cyclist, as well, which makes it nice. He understands if you're late because of a flat, or something like that. He also appreciates the size of sack it takes to ride that much. :D Mark

    Commute to work

    If there's one thing I've learned from BROL, it's to stay away from BROL. :roll: Actually, I haven't learned that too well, because I keep wandering back from time to time. :? I could have had videotaped footage of me pulling away from Lance Armstrong hisself and some of those yahoos would...

    Commute to work

    Windy Ride I rode my bike to work yesterday. I kind of knew I was in trouble when I left the house. I dropped into the Santa Ana River wash, heading north into Hghland and noticed a bit of a breeze. Ordinarily, a breeze wouldn't bother me, but where I work is in Rialto, in what is commonly...

    Dark beer

    The feller on the TV says Fosters is Australian for beer. It must be true.... He has an Australian accent and everything! I'm impressed the Fosters people put it in a can. Most importers seem to think Americans prefer their beer in green or clear bottles. :roll: :roll: Of course, most...

    Dark beer

    Now you have me wondering... I'm going to have to try and find some of those locally. The only Aussie beer I've seen is Fosters. "Australian for beer, mate". :roll: Mark

    Ticking noise

    It's the same guy.... A real ding-dong. Let me tell you, he eats too much, farts way too much and drinks all my darned beer. I only keep him around because I feel sorry for him and he makes me laugh a lot. :roll: Mark

    Ticking noise

    That's the safety widgit, so you can't accidentally have the TFT come completely apart if you happen to forget to tighten the QR. I had a noise like that on Silvio II. I swore it was coming from the carboyoke connection to the mainframe. Turned out to be a poorly adjusted aheadset. I have an...

    So confusing, the FWD stuff!

    It gets so confusing, FWD, RWD... I went to the bike shop to get cones and bearings for my rear wheel. Bike shop dude: Those wheels have sealed bearings in the rear axle. Me: No, it doesn't, I tore it apart just today, it's got...... Make that cones and bearings for the front axle. :oops...
