ride faster you'll out last the batteries :)

Sadly that's only until the remodel then I'm to the garage. But it sure is nice for the time being. I pounded out 4 bike retoolings in record time. Now if the parts get here it's build diary time. In the mean time; it's all new trainer setup.

and so it begins..... A proper play room

If you going to swing Thor's hammer you better have a firm grip on the handle and aim through the target :cool:

Click the link in my signature; it dates back to Rick's typo and my general weirdness.

Around here the Walkers on the MUPs are more dangerous than car drivers. I'm pretty sure every other car driver is looking at their cellphone; where as 100% of the walkers are. Might as well build the mups right through the garbage dump the walkers would never notice the difference because they...

Nah I'm a proper packer fan; mrs ratz is the purple flag waver. I just used my well practiced husband skillz to assure her it was only 9 months until the Vikings get to start their next losing season.

I feel you pain; parts are rolling in; and we just got 2 ft of snow; after weeks of mild and dry.

That is true. I have had friends visit from the Ukraine and the Netherlands in the days before digital maps. They'd look at a map and say let's drive from Chicago to Minneapolis today. I then have to explain they just asked to drive across Germany; then the scale of things in the US starts to...

I use a MTB Skewer and a nut that has a hold all the way through, the skewer can stick out of the nut; that works well enough with the kurt cups.

So I probably shouldn't mention I can ride in a straight line for 30min - 1 hour without a single left or right turn nor a curve on some of our roads?

If you fall off the trainer; even the regulars here will be surprised.

Rear facing radar integration has me intrigue. I still get surprised by cars on long section of quite country roads. When someone over takes you doing 80mph after not seeing a car for 15 minutes; that can be a bit un-nevering I must have my handle bars lower than the rest of you; If I look at...

That's why it's so cool that it now does include the fork. That import duty sucks ....

Since we are waiting on e-tap :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/01/garmin-varia-vision-hud.html Discuss :eek:

The Conversion kit was $395 plus shipping. The V2/k Frame Kit is $700 plus shipping. So that's probably the best deal going as it gets you: 1) the Conversion kit 2) the fort with the correct rake and trail 3) frame with the right v-foil to make the seat work. #2, #3 are the things that most...

Yep that was scabinetguy who just posted those photo of the shim.

And glass bridges.

That might not have been clear. The tightening we are talking about is the ChainStay clamp; the part the clamps on the the outside of the BB cups. I believe you are talking about the Crank itself; that by all means you should torque probably per the manufacturing. Because the CB ChainStay...

Install the crank and rings without a chain. Spin the crank rapidly. While it spins, tighten the chainstay bolts, alternate left and right. When the tightening causes the crank to visually slow its spin; stop, back off one quarter turn and you should be good
