count chocula Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 in other news... hit about 37mph drafting dudes of that nature at today's ride/race (flat course). so much fun doing my best to hang on to a p/1/2 wheel, and I get to do it every week.

rubbish heap two Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 god damn sprinters. sharky's not a sprinter, at least not in the traditional sense. he's been sprinting through red lights on a track bike for a good 10+ years as a working courier.

Keepitrail Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Man, i need some fucking help. This is my first time frankensteining a bike from several. "Found" a cannondale frame and it seemed good so i went from there. Anyway, I'm stuck on this front derailleur cable. I can't remember where it goes into the gear shifter. Anyone got any ideas? and my cat has fleas. fix that too please. And props will be graciously awarded to those whom helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 if by "found" you mean you stole it... you won't find much help in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepitrail Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 No,I meant that it was locked up at a bike rack in my town for a year and a half, and it had bent both rims, chain was rusted broken, and the tires were rotted off. Maybe I should've said "Liberated"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 keep it a 10 speed and in a few years when this whole gaudy fixie trend dies down you can claim you've been rocking your 10 speed forever and never got into that faggoty trend. because we know all you're really concerned about is the street cred or scene points 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAMER Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Take your cassette off and run a single cog with spacers and a single chainring up front. A kit to do it shouldn't cost much and you can always turn it back into a gear bike afterwords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
count chocula Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 off to socal mañana for some actual summer days, coastal hill climbs and a spot of racing. should be fun. i'll likely be purchasing a set of these very soon: and here's a nice photo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 So Tuesday nights race was painful. 40 miles in 85 minutes. That works out to be around 26-27mph average. I can tell you that when the pace went really high... the entire field was strung out in a line. Well, except the eight guys off the front most of the race. Which makes me wonder just how difficult it must have been in that break. I went with several chase groups to try and catch but they all fell apart within a lap because no one wanted to actually do the work once we got away from the field.

Lew Blum Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Can anyone recommend a site to sell some parts and frames on? Im getting tired of Ebays fees and need to get rid of a bunch of stuff before a move. Let me know if you need something. I got all kinds of shit. Track, road, MTB etc. Thanks in advance dudes.

Joker Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Well... a white kit with white leg/knee warmers is so hip and cyclist "fashionable" that you'd be a dork not to kit it out like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
