deal with it at the root of the problem by finding a new place

that's not a crack house

Pretty much this.

Live in a ghetto house, deal with ghetto issues.

About how tight is 4 nm?
I just got a Thomson stem for my big bike and I don't want to tighten it down caveman style like we do with bmx stems and end up breaking it.

Not tight at all. If you have an L-key Allen wrench, use it opposite of normal- stick the long side into the bolt and use the short side to turn with your hand.

Bike Gallery / Tea (One) Time

« on: March 26, 2015, 07:44:54 PM »

Please excuse the somewhat lame British pun, though I do drink a lot of tea so tea time is all the time for me.

I have always wanted a British Racing Green Barcode, so after getting my seat recovered and tanwall tires the timing was right to spray bomb my Morsecode green. 30/10 gearing got kind of annoying so I bumped down to 31/11 and used the opportunity to buy a Keychain. The other changes are to the seat/post, tires, pedals, and brake cable.

Shoutouts go to CMB, Wrecked, and Milhouse for parts, and Farva (James @ Native bikes) for the seat cover. Thanks guys!

Something that makes the name an acronym?

This.

Something that would give them cool initials. Family names are nice and meaningful too.

If you like Apple, get an Eye-phone 6. If you don't, get a Samsung S6.

Piss on your landlord to establish dominance.

Sometimes (most of the time) I want to show up at a skatepark and just quietly ride my bike, be introverted as fuck, and not be bugged with 50 questions.

Quoted for truth...

(Fixed your post/quote for you)

100% agree too, if I go to a park I don't want to BS with a bunch of kids I don't know. I just want to ride my bike.

Similar breakfast here before riding, oatmeal and a banana with a mug of tea.

If I'm traveling to ride I'll eat a dry bagel and a banana while driving. Still tea as well, drip coffee and I do not get along.

Insurance here varies by zip code, driving history, car choice, credit score, background check, insurance history, bundle discounts, and more. No two people will have the same situation so comparing rates is nigh impossible.

Looks dialed!
