welded steertubes do kind of almost look like it...

I tried a 2.25 glh last night out of curiosity, and it definitely doesn't fit

turkey, who has been supporting isis and other anti-assad groups, just shot down a russian jet, as well as the escaping/parachuting crew.

do you think obama/us media will condemn turkey, or blame assad/putin?

The State Department alerts U.S. citizens to possible risks of travel due to increased terrorist threats. Current information suggests that ISIL (aka Da’esh), al-Qa’ida, Boko Haram, and other terrorist groups continue to plan terrorist attacks in multiple regions. These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics, using conventional and non-conventional weapons and targeting both official and private interests. This Travel Alert expires on February 24, 2016.

I've got a chance to get to a shop today to get some spokes/a rim, but I don't know what rims they have, and I don't have the hub with me, so I figure I should just need the width/diameter?

thanks

I've been pretty clear from my first post about blaming the people who've caused the crisis - you know by killing qaddafi, trying to oust assad, creating terror groups, etc? All those annoying links I posted?

Some attackers used refugee crisis to 'slip into' France: PM

Nov 19, 2015

Paris (AFP) - Some of the suspects in the Paris attacks took advantage of Europe's migrant crisis to "slip in" unnoticed, the French premier said Thursday,


I know there are a lot of people outside of bikeguide blaming them, and maybe one or two here, but in this thread?

Turns out all the suspects were EU nationals with European passports. Can't blame the refugees now.

doesn't matter where they were from, the (at least one) passport used/found was that of a refugee, whether it was fake or not. you can say refugees weren't involved, but they were absolutely used as cover/camo/distraction.

nobody here, or anywhere that I've seen, is blaming each individual refugee. this isn't racism/xenophobia.  nobody's "blaming the refugees." 
this whole situation, the "refugee crisis" was engineered and forced on us, and bad people are using it as cover to carry out bad acts, and those acts are being used to pass more anti-freedom bullshit which will lead to more wars/more crisis...

the refugee crisis is taking up massive amounts of resources which could otherwise be used for crime/terror-prevention. hundreds of thousands/millions of people coming in from war-torn areas . . . prevention techniques get spread thin. that's common sense.

I've been posting about stuff that would happen as a result of mass-migrations-because-of-our-wars on other forums for years.  what's happening right now is not a surprise to anyone who was actually paying attention to it.



hey, what's the difference between de-radicalisation and re-education? can it happen in one location like saudi arabia, or do we need widespread "de-radicalisation centers?" how long will it take, and what happens in the meantime?

I put a 2.0 tire in them today and there's plenty of room still.  I was wrong to be worried about it.

just curious - does anyone know if the dropouts on the regular flat forks are the same as the chase version, as far as peg clearance goes?

if there were brigades of ukrainian children training to battle the kiev regime, taking over ancient ruins and executing ukrainians, in propaganda films specially packaged for the west, we'd be hearing all about putin's child soldiers... 


isis, and these kids, are part of obama's legacy. so they're his.

The argument doesn't make any sense. The two things being compared are completely different and unrelated. It makes it seem as though there is a housing shortage and the homeless vets are competing with the refugees for a limited number of houses. It ignores the fact that most homeless vets are so because war has fucked with their minds to the point that they can't function in normal society and do all the thing people need to do to maintain a home. Sure, the VA has let a lot of vets down in terms of care for their mental health problems but that has nothing to do with the US taking in refugees from Syria.

what if the refugees are [homeless, flawed] vets themselves?









etc...



the past couple of days I've been thinking about the massive tunnel bomb videos that came out over the past two years or so.  Would a drugged out islamist would-be bomber be ok with being down in the paris catacombs with the walls lined with dead christians/jews... or would it be like hell for them?

and what would happen if they sneak explosives underneath the vatican?

just heard obama on the radio saying something like "...Apparently they're scared of widows and orphans coming in to the United States of America as part of our tradition of compassion.  At first they were worried about the press being too tough on 'em during debates.  Now they're worried about three-year-old orphans...."

wasn't a woman wearing a suicide vest just killed in paris last night?  what about obama's child soldiers?

Experts Explain How Global Powers Can Smash ISIS

“There is probably no solution to ISIS until there is a solution to Assad,” said J. M. Berger, a scholar at the Brookings Institution and a co-author of the book “ISIS: The State of Terror.” “That is the factor that paralyzes everything else.”

Emile Hokayem, a senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, argued that Western powers needed to start identifying Mr. Assad’s government as part of the problem, because its brutality and sectarianism have allowed the Islamic State to thrive.

“Assad is not a sideshow,” he said. “He is at the center of this massive dilemma.”

If the United States went this route, it would immediately have the support of Saudi Arabia and Turkey...
saudi arabia and turkey being some of the largest isis supporters...
