The Bike Shop / What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

I've been trying to put new tires on my road bike and I keep getting pinch flats just installing the fucking things (I am using a Quik Stik). Wheels are 27", tires install fine without the tubes but when tubes are added to the mix it's like they are too fat.
Please enlighten my dumb ass.

Is that an under-rotated manual 180? I hate that moment.

The park in the last photo feels like it is built at a 1:2 scale. Nothing is taller than 3 ft, and that includes a kidney bowl type thing with hip. It's a really odd place.

Seriously, I can count on one hand the number of times I have found a legitimate bank to wall.

Also, can you give us a estimate on the stack height of the Springfields? Will they be as low as a Fly/Evo 2 for those of us with chainstay mounts? Will the fact that they don't require springs actually allow them to be lower?

Probably a custom from way back when. You used to be able to view his old bike checks by going to the OG GSport website.
G, you seriously need to give us a current bike check. Please.

Truth, this cable is awesome. Once the Springfield brakes are released I hope to be able to install and dial my brakes in in less than a minute.

It fit fine when I used it with my Odyssey lever.
Kind of a silly question but are you sure it is facing the right way? If I remember correctly, that hole is not in the center of the knarp so you want to make sure that it is rotated with the grub screw on the outside.

Water slide spots looks like something that is good in theory but probably doesn't offer much by way of riding.

Probably not, Odyssey Wom/Twom/Thunderbolt cranks have a 15/16" "lip" where the sprocket sits. You will need to get it machined out a hair if you want to use it.

Sweet repost, dude. Check one page back.

As far as I'm concerned those trails can be re-posted for the duration of this thread. They look magical.

I think you're doing OK.

Rode it and I got pissed at how long it took me to pull a manual-180 without KP-hopping the 180. They are so much harder for me when the manual is just 5-7 ft versus a long, curving thing.

Volume Cougar bars? Could a break like that be caused by improper heat-treating?
