1.
2. how does leaving your bike in the rain from time to time destroy your bottom bracket? I would like clarification on this process
3. tree screw in bar ends or par ends: pick one
4. I want some column cranks. or any other 22mm spline drive, bossless cranks: anything new out there?
5. I'm looking at my bike and can't remember what question one was.
6. where can I get 2.25 folding microknobbies?

lots of free time and I'm surrounded by drinkers. my old roommate kept our fridge stocked with beer :/ morning mimosas have ruined so many days for me

I don't get stupid drunk very often but constant drinking throughout the day everyday sucks

another thing I've noticed is that outside of California a trip to the skatepark doesn't mean three runs then sitting on a ledge with a bunch of tall cans and a bunch  of weed

I'll show up to a new park with a 12pack n everyone's like "no ty" wtf?

The Bike Shop / 36vs48h,,, here, have an anecdote

« on: April 23, 2016, 02:48:49 PM »

i built both these wheels really nice-ly

48 ratchet, dB sapim spokes, ribcage
 (stronger rim but I believe strength is in the spokes)
took a lil over a year to break a spoke, then about two years in I had broken about 4 of them. only had to tru the wheel once in the first year and some months.
took over two years for the wheel to get noticeable lumps and wobbles

36h antigram, dB sapim spokes, birdcage
broke my first spoke in about 9 months and in a lil over a year I've gone through 4more
ive trued this wheel about 3times since I got it a lil over year ago and it is now starting to get noticeable lps and wobbles

Im going just as big of not bigger than I used to go on the old wheel but I'm also much much smoother with my riding since I have arthritis in my elbow now

idk, just thinking I wish antigram came in 48h

I was drunk talking to my EMT cousin about roids the other day. can I get some In Mexico??

they'd be great for travelling when I only have a couple days to see a city and am worn out by the 2nd or 3rd day

The Lounge / elevation maps of different cities

« on: April 19, 2016, 04:15:49 PM »

any idea where I can find elevation maps of different cities? Guadalupe, Zacatecas, MX to be exact

 it would be cool to take a bus to the highest point in the city and slowly cruise downhill seeing the city. my kneecap joint tissue is done so uphill is no bueno
