  1. got a question for those of you in the fixed gear knowhow.

    crank slipped today, same feeling like then the rear wheel isnt tightened enough and the spindle slips in the dropouts, but the real wheel didnt slip at all.

    is this loose lockring or fucked bottom bracket? havent had time to track down a lockring tool and im not riding my bike to the bike shop if it turns out to be the bb. also, not taking a fucking screwdriver/hammer combo to my lockring.

     

    If you think the locking is loose, put your front tire against a curb or wall Si the bike can't move and put all you weight on a pedal as if you wanted to go forward. That's an easy ghetto way of tightening it.

  2. I waver between liking and not liking bullhorns. I pretty much keep my hands positioned in the middle of my bars 95% of the time anyways. They are good for climbing though.

  3. Use plain white toothpaste on white soles. That's what we used to use on display shoes that sat in bright lights for 2 months

  4. They bought starter so they could sell cheap products without cheapening the Nike brand. Apparently they sold starter to iconix for $60 mil. So you are right that they don't own them anymore.

  5. Nike bought starter about 5 years ago. Your only gonna see it at walmart cause Nike wants it to be their "affordable" brand. They also bought converse.

  6. It's world naked bikeride. Hipster losers think it's liberating. I think it's poseur-fest, but I also feel the exact same way about critical mass. I wish they would just move back to whatever weird suburb they came from.

  7. Saw ice-t with body count at warped tour in 98 at rfk stadium. He kept taunting the cops the whole set saying he would be arrested if they played cop killer. Played it last and split. Also saw ten minutes of the deftones that day before I realized they have the worst stage show ever, so I went ti another stage to watch hatebreed for like the fifth time that year.

  8. First show I can remember was madball, earth crisis, hatebreed, and skarhead in '97 in dc.

    Saw bad brains when they first changed their name to soul brains, the pilfers opened for them and were awesome.

    The dc superbowl of hc in like 98 or 99 had 25 ta life when they were still good, next step up, murphys law, dying fetus(with such great songs as "rape you mom and kill your fucking dog"),and a bunch other coil bands I don't remember.

    Sick of it all was always intense.

    Since living in Chicago for the last 12 years, got to see rise against before they turned pop, arma angelus(awesome hc band with Pete went before the lame fallout boy stuff)

    I could go on for days
