Guest HESHIANDET Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 dlush: i told you happy bday right? im sure i did????anyways, if i didn't, happy belated. tearz:you can also buy the shorter bmx stack bolts for the chainring. that way it wont look ghetto on the inside..haha:crazy: but if you go w/ the shorter bolts you might need to play w/ your spacing to get your chainline straight, not fun...

Guest TEARZ Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 i actually am not in the process of converting right now, i was just wondering how people had done it. it's a few months away. i have a "victim" bike that is going to be converted, and i also have an extra campagnolo chorus 9 speed crankset and was wondering how people took different routes to converting the actual crankset- spacing and chain ring issues were especially key. as for right now, i'm working on trying to get this dura ace track crankset to work with this fucking fucked up bottom bracket/s... there are clearance/chainline problems and i will need to use a road or possibly even mountain bike bottom bracket. i'm basically just experimenting with different shit right now and i'm frustrated. i guess my actual problem right now is bottom bracket compatibility. whatever. blah. thank you for the help and encouragement. i need it.

DIBS Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 tearz if you have the opportunity,try to get a splined bottom bracket,i dont know if that dura ace crack set is splined or what.i guess if its not it defetes the idea,but in the future,splined bottom brackets/crank sets, are the stiffest and strongest.good luck with your project! and a quick bump from page dos.

cinnamon toast crunch804 Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 i was in washington DC for thanksgiving and my dad and I drove to baltimore to chech out the cyclocross national course. it's no different then anyother course i have done. they haven't set up the acual course because they don't want people to have an advatage by training on there. there are some nasty stairs we'll have to run up. If anyone live in Baltimore or close to it, it's worth the drive to come see the A race at 2:30 on sunday the 16th i believe. if anyone is interested in going hit up my email and i'll send you directions and times. the park is right in the middle of baltimore. i saw some good graff too. but anyways i took all of last week off because mentally i was getting burned out. i rode today in the poring rain on dirt roads and just got fuckin muddy and wet it felt so good. It hasn't rained in VA for a good month or so. the rain is needed. Only 3 more weeks of my first semester to be over of college and the cyclocross nationals. don't know which is more important to study for. later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alkaline Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 I saw the new Nike commercial last night. It's one of those "Enjoy the Weather" ads. It stars Lance Armstrong in a not-so-likely training ride where a rode ride suddenly turns into a cyclocross race. It's pretty funny, so watch for it, and enjoy the weather.

alkaline Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 In order to bump our precious baby up from the depths of Hell, I’d like to tell you guys a story. Last night I was riding to a local music venue/bar with my brother. We were going to see International Noise Conspiracy and The Hives. On the way there, we have to cross over a pedestrian bridge and go down a ramp at the end. This was the first time I had ever gone this way, but my brother said it was faster. Well, fast it was. On the way down the ramp, at the far side of the bridge, I was trying to maintain my speed so I didn’t crash at the bottom of the ramp. It turns out that this ramp has a little switchback thing going on, and as it was dark, I didn’t notice until it was too late. I hit the rail. Had I been going any faster, I probably would have launched over it into the lake, but thankfully I was spared that embarrassment. The moral of the story is … there is none. I just thought you guys would get a kick out of my antics. Hehehe. Bump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suburbian bum Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Man, i really need to keep my bike in better matinence. Ive got 2 slow leaking flats, so i have to pump my tires up ever couple days, im to lazy to fix it. Also my chain is all sqeaky, i need to oil it.and my shifting is misajusted....

alkaline Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 My brother's chain is all rusted, because he rode home in the rain and just left his bike outside. Last night on the way to the bar, all I heard was "squeak-squeak squeak-squeak." Between that and his flashing red light (I thought I was gonna have an epileptic fit like that lady in The Andromeda Strain) I'm suprised I didn't just throw myself off the bridge.

Devilush Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Bad News aw guys here it comes. i have some bad news about the stonecutter ride. it looks like i can't make it happen. i mean you guys can definitely make it happen, but i just won't be able to go with you guys and enjoy the fun on the stonecutties. it looks like i have discovered that i have classes on the preferred dates. and the only dates that are open for me are : april 12-23 and july 9-20. soooooo, you guys are still welcome to stay here at the dates that i have listed before. i just wont be able to come. but i can still cook breakfast and what not, so that is a plus. so just let me know on some input.

alkaline Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Sorry to hear that, Devilush. As it turns out, I won't be able to make to original May dates either, as I'm getting married that weekend. If everybody is down, a reschedule to July would be prime for me, especially since my birthday is during those dates. On a side note, I pretty much only get on this site while I'm at work. This morning, I got an e-mail from my boss that said I need to disable my Instant Messenger and cut back my internet usage. What a bunch of fucking jerks. So I may not be around as much, but if you want to get in contact with me, just hit my e-mail: whyihatetexas@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilush Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 Congrats Alkaline!! hey guy!! congratulations!! woooow the big commitment. good luck to you and the mrs. july sounds so good to me also. so please, can we make it at that? fuck that job that you have alkaline. but you know, it is inevitable with all the usage. they catch on eventually. my job didn't catch on, cuz i'm slick like that (j/k).;) anyways, anymore input???

alkaline Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 cinnamon, see the movie Breaking Away (1979). Yeah, Devilush, this job is starting to suck pretty hard. They pay me real good, but it's becoming apparent that the money is not worth it anymore (not just because of the internet thing ... there's more that I don't want to talk about). I move to Houston at the begining of May, and I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HESHIANDET Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 that bike seems preety cool. i dunno though, for what it probbaly cost's yu could build the same thing (single speed hybrid mountain/road look) a lot cheaper...

alkaline Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 1. You don't need disc brakes for an urban assault bike. 2. I'm not a fan of Cannondale. I never have been. They design their bikes too much like motorcycles. 3. Novara (the bicycle company that is owned and manufactured by REI) makes a very similar bike called the Buzz that costs less, and looks almost identical. 4. It's your decision. If you like the Cannondale and are comfortable spending the money, then go for it. Don't buy something that "looks cool" if it's not comfortable to ride.

Jewish Task Force Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 Wack. Its an Inspector Gadget bike. Look at all those gadgets. Disc brakes, shock? Who needs that shit in a city? Simplicity is key. But that is just my opinion. I ride a track bike so my ride is as simple as it gets, the only gadget I have is a fender because its raining now, but as soon as it stops that fucker goes on the shelf.
