alkaline Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 Yeah, cinnamon, the two bikes that I ride most are both single-speed. One is a Bianchi Pista (fixed) and the other is a 26" Redline (freewheel). If I ever do buy a cross bike I think it's gonna be this one: http://www.surlybikes.com/bikes/images/crosscheckLG.jpg'> although I don't like the shifters at the end of the bars like that.

Devilush Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 Stone Cutter Ride Plans 16 pages like whoa . and bumping this up from the second page. okay well, hesh and i were talking (all shit talk about you guys....just playin :crazy: ). and we figured that the ride would be best in may, the week of the 19th to the 25th. But everyone should be arriving in sf about the 17th, because on the 20th, we start riding. Now, I have a cat. so if you are allergic, just beware. he's a nice cat too, acts a little loco sometimes, but all in all, he is my baby. if any of you guys have any questions, just email me at devilush_hiss@hotmail.com and my aim name is pablografkat. oooooorrrrr, you can talk to heshy through aim heshrock or email him at boxcarmonster@yahoo.com. oh yea, i would like to know who is coming too. so i can plan accordingly, or try to. ;) oh and one more thing, make sure that you are over 21. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TEARZ Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 dibs it wasn't the length of the ride that was crazy, it was the conditions. we literally could have done the ride in less than half the time it took us, but the area is ridiculously rocky and you know how the mud on the tires can slow you down. why you tryin to play me out mang? :) the new velonews cyclocross issue i concur is pretty inspiring. i MAY be able to come to the stonecutters ride, but it will be tough. i'll try my best. anybody (joker dibs?) got any recommendations on trainers? anybody use them? haha, not the messengers. you dudes must come home and pass out.

DIBS Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 tearz,for real i am soooo envious.i would LOVE to ride in the mud,this dusty ,dry enviroment is a little dull sometimes,i would kill for mud.as far as trainers,look at minoura trainers,one that rides the rims if possible,or for some real indoors fun get rollers.rollers are the funnest thing.imagine putting your bike on a long contraption with 3 little roller type of deals,then you put your bike on it,sit on the bike,balance and ride in place.its sooo fun,i think.im getting me some rollers this winter.im sure joker has some input on this too. aw yeah,stonecutters commin to cali!

Joker Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 I haven't used rollers since I was racing BMX back in the early eigties. How's that for showing my age? At the moment I have a Blackburn stand which works fine for me. I use it often in the winter months especially when I don't have time to gear up and go for a proper ride. Even 30 minutes on a trainer is better than nothing during the winter. I usually watch a race video to keep my in tune with what i'm doing. And to keep me from getting bored. When you're on the road cruising around, you've got visuals to keep your mind stimulated. But indoors... in one spot... you'll go mad without entertainment. I wouldn't be a slave to one if you get one. This is my opinion though. I'm kinda geeked about this Cutters ride. Kinda scared as well. I can't imagine the looks we'll get out on the road. A bunch of hooligans with stained red lips from wine... the horror... I've spent the last two hours searching the web for a deal on a Campagnolo Mirage gruppo. No such luck. I finally got a winter bike (Cannondale R600) but it has Shimano Sora equipment mixed with Cannondale equipment. And I'm all over the place trying to ride it!! I need my Campy!!! Cyclocross is rockin' like Dokken! That'll be my next big purchase. Then again... my wife may have my head if I get another bike. We're running out of room...

Guest HESHIANDET Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 don't sweat it joker. me and devilush are ironing out all the sticky details...i found a site that is all about which vinyards are free and give the best tours etc....thats the dangerous part. i figure after a few tastings i'll be averging 0 mph...:) i'll hopefully be rocking this by the time we get out there. custom paint of course. http://www.ifbikes.com/clubracer.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnamon toast crunch804 Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 also if your not into cyclocross and want to stay in shape in the winter i receintly started taking spinning classes (indoor cycling) they are really effective. as of right now i am training to become an instructor. you get out what you put into the class. the instructor also makes the class. Most health/fitness clubs offer them. and i am the only guy in my class it's nice being surrounded by 10-15 girls in spandex. good times!!!!!!

DIBS Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Originally posted by alkaline Hot damn, Cinnamon! That's a nice bike. yes indeed!litespeed,very nice.but looking at it from a mechanics point of view,some of those shimano wheeles (on that lietspeed) came in the other day,with that strange lacing pattern and the odd shaped hubs,the nipples at the hub instead of the rim,was a pain in the but to true.but they look stellar.i got the day off so i will spend some time doing some stone cutters wine rampage research,ill post links to whatever interesting stuff i find.

Guest THE LAW Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 can someone explain those spokes to THE LAW? he doesn't understand.... what THE LAW does understand is that when he's high speed cruising in between parked cars and another line of cars waiting at a stop light, he feels like Luke Skywalker trying to blow up the death star. zooooommmm it was cold this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBS Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 THE LAW,i wish i could explain how the spoke system on that wheele does work,its a strange design,im not even sure how i staightened the one i worked on,just kind of fiddled with it untill it was straight.

alkaline Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 http://www.shimanocycling.com/wheels/images/roadwh-535.jpg'> I think this is what Dibs was talking about. You can kinda see that the spoke nipple is on the hub of the wheel instead of the rim (backwards from most wheels). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest THE LAW Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 can someone go over the different kinds of lacing with pictures and stuff and tell THE LAW what different kinds are good for? THE LAW doesn't understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxcarwilly Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 the lacing on those litespeed (wheels) spokes is something that has been around forever just noone could get it to work right, if you look closely there is no bend in the spoke (a stress point on other lacing systems) i think they are calling this vertical lacing i may be mistaken tho... it is super rigid but a little twitchy side to side because when you are laced like this the hub is compentsated for horizontal torque but they are strong as shit... i would ride the front wheel in boston and not worry too much. they are rad as shit. the law i wish i knew more about conventional lacing i only react when i see the aero space technology... i wish i knew 2x and 3x as well as i understand 5star and 3 star. what can you do. as for the cutters ride i am boycotting unless someone is carrying a six pack of sprite for the sxe kid.
