rrose, are you going to fill it in as a regular ice cap? Or do the right thing and get it done up with chocolate milk with maple crumble on top?

Ya Done Fucked Up. So many US customers of mine are terrified everyone will think they're idiots because they're about to elect 1 of 2 head idiots.

That's not adulthood. That's someone struggling to cope with adult situations who's obviously got massive issues, who now will deal with adult punishment for the rest of their natural life.

1 - Is the chain upside down?
2 - New chain - worn in drivetrain. It will take some time to wear in, but it will happen.

The tooth spacing changes on the sprocket just a bit as the chain is worn and stretched.

This will be your best route for the most part.

Try to follow the Conquer Cancer routes from Niagra Falls to Toronto. (Though you'll have a bit of a divergence going through Toronto). Once you hit around Mississauga you can pretty well just waterfront trail the whole thing.

Conquer Cancer's route went through some pretty nice spots, but the stops in between food/water are a little sparse so just make sure you're good to do around 50-75km self-supported before being able to stop for something.

Aside from that, Strava Heatmaps is probably your best source for the most popular routes.

I will answer as Dontgiveafuck but honestly I don't fully grasp what it means if they do decide to leave? Maybe it's jumping off a sinking ship that is the Euro economy?

That thing is light! Not sure how heavy MTB stems tend to be but compared to a BMX stem its light.

Based on the renderings it looks like a two bolt system, one from the side and one from the side. Could be two different versions but Im am interested to see how it is supposed to work.

I can only see one bolt in the renders.

yeah it's totally one. Plus they even put the "ONE bolt" description in caps

God damn it JFax, get it right bud.

The Bike Shop / Re: Roof Racks?

« on: January 03, 2016, 10:47:38 PM »

Roof racks - I love mine, I can put anything up there (Running a VW MKVI right now)

You'll want to get into a Yakima Highroller or Frontloader. These two don't require popping off the wheel at all. For bars I'm running Whispbars but Yakima has come out with a new roof rack system which gives you the Whispbar noise reduction without the crazy pricing.

The systems ARE NOT on their website yet. They should be released in about a month or so.

If you're after the aluminum bars though, Whispbar is still the shit.
