Bicyclettes

You'll need a lock ring tool to tighten it back up. A few of us dudes on here (@work & bluespring) usually ride on Thursday nights, so if its not raining again tomorrow night I'd be happy to swing by and help you out with it.

Plus, I love putting my lock ring tool to work. Made it from a pair of channel lock pliers that I grinded down with the dremel. It works so well. Fuck a hozan!

[dino might]

^im down, help me out and ill try to tag along if no one minds. never ridden in the city with anyone but my shorty thus far..

she always makes me stop and wait for her to catch up

[darkanimal]

What happened to mr rome1, he dun ride no more with you NJ guys?

[wild style]

Still haven't even ridden with that fool yet.

You dudes should come out tomorrow if it's nice. The Thursday night rides were pretty good for a while... we were doing laps in central park and shit, but lately we've just been cruising around and ending up at the bar like a bunch of piles.

Shit, maybe we can even get Mike to join us.

PM me on here or somethin if you wanna meet up.

Wolves, what are you racing, a Spooky?

Like the kit, too bad it's ChampSys...

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out a winter jacket to get that'll get me into my sub-zero needs, not trying to cop a Fugujack or that insane Castelli number...

[Wolves]

Oh man, I wish it was a Spooky. Its the 2010 Cannondale Cross 5.

Aw, Champsys isn't too bad!

I have also been confused about the winter jacket dilemma. Something in my mind is pointing towards Arc'teryx though.

Picked up the IRO for ze lady...

It'll fit her perfectly, once she gets used to it. Its fixed right now, but Ima switch the wheels out to my Suzue/Open Pros since it has a single speed on one side of the hub.

Also need to get her a front brake, which is pending... Too lazy to walk to the bank on a cold day...

Basket is at a weird angle, because the stem is - rather than flat or +. Gonna switch it out.

And once she gets used to riding, her seat will be raised.

Wild I have bluespring's #, so yeah if my early evening plans fall I'll join you guys. What time do you usually start/end/grab a beer. Last time I rode slightly stoned. Have you ever done that?

[wild style]

Usually get in the city around 9er, end up at the bar by 10, and pedal back to jersey around 1 or 2.

[dino might]

^^riding stoned is absolutely great

[ninetynine]

^^riding stoned is absolutely great

Not if it's cold out. :/

[dino might]

its gotta still be better than riding sober when its cold out no? guess ill find out before too long

[the Repeater]

I get everywhere faster when I'm drunk.

I get there more interestingly if I'm fogged out.

manhattan group ride tonight for stages.

[GiZMO]

I wrapped innertube around some drops I chopped & flipped. Done by cutting the tube open: on the inside is powdery stuff like that used in latex gloves, aside from the danger of my tape slipping off unexpectedly, anyone know if this shit is hazardous?

Also, I recently purchase a gator skin for my rear. Noticed a all slit in it after a ride. Tonight is Critical Mass, should I be worried about it? I imagine the worst thing that can happen is a piece of glass sliding directly into the slit for a puncture. Or will skidding have a probability of ripping it open. I'm pretty sure it's not on a skid patch.

[wild style]

Sounds dope, you goin Mike?

[mlproject]

definitely trying to make it.. have to go home, fix a flat and ride back into the city in time. fingers crossed.

[wild style]

Fuck, just saw that the group ride is @ 7. Im stuck at the shithole til 7:30. Guess I'm beat.

[wild style]

[mlproject]

[wild style]

Word, I won't bitch out next time.

Haha, dont tell anybody, but sometimes when Im at the gym and nobody is looking, I hop on the spin bike and try to pedal as fast as I can for like a minute straight and pretend I'm gold sprinting.
