My friend gave his daughter the middle name Steingraeber, after Mike Steingraber, pro flatlander.

are you from melbourne?

I lived there for a few years. I'm still serving my sentence back in Bendigo at the moment.

My middle name is my mums surname, which I think is a cool idea.

Isn't LeonLikesToRock's legal middle name danger?

Does anybody know more videos like that Project Binky? I really like videos where they show what they do and how they do it, instead of just saying 'Yeah we replaced this, channeled that etc".

I'd like to see how these compare size wise to a gland 3.

Cut all the knobs off, attach them with really thin wire, never think about again.

Glands are the bestest.

I don't know how to post pictures in my phone. Mine arrived yesterday from Rusty!

Contents were a zillion stickers, barends, OSS lighters, Cult air freshener, dvds, almonds, subtosa badges and a Racing Homer badge! Went straight onto my jacket.

Laced a front wheel, without using the G-sport guide. I feel so pro.

Macneil 330 post, 30T MDS + extra guard.

Your bike sounds awesome.

Parked my ute next to the skatepark and used headlights to light up a rail. Crankarm to psi, so close.

Tried downside pedal stalls, then got pissed off at some skaters trying to take photos, so I wrote 'Photography Sucks' on my crossbar.

Wasting time in the local shop the other day, I was flipping through a magazine that was like, three or four years old. Right at the back, I found a shot of a few flatlanders. Peered at them, trying to figure out who they were, then realised one of them was me! Didn't have my name (nor a head) but I'm pretty stoked on it.

Pretty sure I broke my freecoaster the day before, so I'm on a 16t freewheel

The Bike Shop / Quick Questions

« on: December 04, 2011, 07:33:22 AM »

i ran one of the primo metal guards over my 9t coaster, but even then had to put an extra spacer under the guard so it would clear my collapse chain. i think youd be very lucky if it would clear a 10 ratchet.
as for the quality of the guard, theyre ok. not great but should be good enough on opposites.

I've heard similar to this. Theres also the plastic version. It's not the kind of thing I would put on my bike. I reckon it would suck for wheel clamping, but be a lot better for your chain. I can't imagine plastic would really rip apart your chain links (and the chain won't be moving during a grind when the guard is pushed into it), whereas if metal bends into the chain it would just fuck shit up.

The biggest problem with drive side guards is that they aren't rotatable I guess.

Glands are the best all round, except for the driver...

I will 100% send you a set of unused fly nylon bar ends if you send me four loko.

According to my fagwit yank housemates, they tuned four loko down so it's far less deadly.

If this isn't actually the case, I up your ante to a one RNC barend in exchange for said beverage.
