Mine is coming in sometime this week. Me very very excited.

yay my bag came in today. it's pretty cool. It's my first real messenger back so I am not used to how it fits on my back, yet.

Where do you guys/girls keep your U-Lock (if you use one)? I typically put it in my back pocket but then it gets a little hard to sit on the seat. I want to make myself a type of holster for it, maybe..

you see the velcro strap built into the shoulder strap of the bag? peel it back and velcro the u inside there. you can also throw a cell phone holster under that thing as well.

[knucks]

It kind of fits funny if I strap it under the velcro..pokes me hah

[mlproject]

get a fabric horse u lock holder that goes on yr belt

[knucks]

Yah I think I may..

Anyone riding in Critical Mass tonight?

[aydo1]

wish i coulda gone :[ still rebuilding my bike and waiting for my back wheel.. repainted my frame too.. ill post a pic when im done.

[Westbrook]

I was at CM in chicago. It was a hell of a night. Anyone else attend?

[eddyz]

does anyone know any online stores that ship to Canada for track cranks? I know ebay has htsi bullet brand,, but i don't trust their quality.... I currently have shimano dura-ace cranks which are 170mm, but i am looking for something around 160-165mm

[knucks]

How much are you willing to spend? What kind of cranks are you looking for?

They have some trailers and pictures up for their next film. Its pretty sick the riding. It makes me want to ride right now. The song isn't the best but because of its hardass theme it gets you pumped.

Late pass?

[knucks]

I've been waiting for that damn DVD for a long time.

[wild style]

Srsly.

Looks like they edited the original trailer. Hahaha, peep the date on the traffic sign at the end. They changed it from 7/25/05 to 7/25/07. Who's going to the NYC premier next Sunday?

[Head Ninja In Charge]

Glad they took out that circle jerk scene from the original trailer. Shit was hella gay.

Hey I read on some bike shops website that was selling deep v's that you can use a brake on the anodized colors without the rim being machined as opposed to the paint ones where they need to be machined, can anyone else confirm this? Whats the appeal of deep v's the aesthetic or are they actually a good rim for the price? I am trying to figure out what makes a good rim any help?

Thanks

[dokydoky]

Deep Vs look cool, they are a bit more aerodynamic than regular rims, and they are very strong from what I hear, however they are a bit heavier than most other rims at that price range.

[mlproject]

deep v's look like poopoodoodoo but they're strong as fuck and a slightly aero rim for the track.

they come machined and nonmachined.

[VuONG]

velocity make great rims. Deep vs are a very asenthic choice, but they are an awsome rim for the street, because of the thickness rim it is a little smoothier. They are also slighty aero. Also they roll a little easier, because of the weight.

never brake on a painted surface, you can! but you will get ugly streaks,

Looking to build my own fixed gear and am starting to look for parts...

I'm stumped at the frame though...all I've found so far is IRO stuff, particularly the Mark V (cause it's the cheapest)...Anywhere else you guys can point me to?

I'm looking to do this on somewhat of a budget...don't want to spend more than $400-$500, if it can be done.

tahnkkzzz.

[knucks]

My next purchase is going to be some Deep Vs..I need a rim that can handle curbs w/o as much truing..

Get a Kilo TT

[mlproject]

the mercier kilos are like $250 right now... super cheap and will let you decide if you like riding fixed without dropping a ton of dough.

There is no reason to choose a deep rim aside from looks.

False. Deep V rims hold aero properties and are much stiffer and stronger than other builds.

[dokydoky]

They're $350, but that's still pretty damn cheap. The frames are rebadged KHS Flite 100s, and while the components aren't the best, they'll get you around just fine.

Thanks for all the responses regarding the deep v's. I was looking for a rim that would be tough and reasonably light, would deep v's be a good choice or what else would you guys recommend. I would just get black v's so I don't really care about flashy stuff.

Thanks

I'd like to know as well..Only reason I want the Deep V's is I know they can take a beating..

Get a Kilo TT

Well, I searched it and everything...MSRP of $795. I can't seem to find it at 350 like you guys are saying

How do you guys feel about 'Giant Bowery' ?

I have no idea what brands are trusted, tried and true.
