  1. Could someone explain me why re-using an old rear wheel and replacing the hub is called a suicide hub? When you buy a new wheel you are doing the same thing, right? Only the spokes are probably less damaged/in better shape?

    reuseing hubs is a bad thing, they usually have stretched out eyelets, or bent flanges. it's not ideal, but it works.

    if you plan on doing that, take it to a REALLY GOOD shop. find that mechanic that's been wrenching for like 10 years to take a look at it first.

    also, i've never posted a pic of my bike,

  2. anyone ever mess with triple triangle frames? how different are they from "normal" track geo?

    they don't change the geometry at all. they just look different, but the biggest difference is that the third triangle adds alot of rigidity mostly laterally, but some horizontally as well.

  3. font is super shitty and wayyyyy too close to the image

    spacing is off on the whole thing

    definitely re-do it

    also

    wtf does that image have to do with wine.

    lol wut is more like it.

    i was working off the description of the wine, which in itself is strange and doesn't sound like it would be describing wine... but i'm not a wine person, so idunno what the hell it was talking about really.

    With the Release of this wine, we begin a string of three excellent vintages for nebbiolo. the vines in our vinyard are maturing, and the biodynamic practices instituted since 2004, well, they couldn’t hurt. Unlike some other New World nebbioli (of which there are a scant few), theis actually tastes like the real thing - replete with the rose petal, tar and that iron-fist-in-a-velvet-glove structure. One of the greatest pleasures of wine appreciation is encountering bottles that taste presicisely like their archetype, yet wholly unlike any other example - individual, particular and specific, yet paradigmatic.

    i was trying to match the scientific aspects as it relates to the natural aspects of wine making. in this case, time and precision, since that is a diagram of the inner workings of an old school watch.

    maybe it makes more sense... or not.

    and yea, the typeface is crap. i hate it after looking at it for more than a few seconds. thanks for the comment.

  4. i wrestled in high school during the season. and did freestyle off season, and in college for a while to. shit is intense if you take it seriously.

    but since then had to learn the ways of street fights. i hate that shit. for some reason my right thumb dislocated during EVERY fight i've been in. anyone else have a stupid issue like that.

  5. Every time i hear H+son... i just imagine that blown out rim i've seen floating around the internet.

    and i've heard that Keo (macaframa) wreck one in less than a month.

    shit's sketchy at best right now. give it another year of R&D and i'd say they'll be bomb proof.
