Quick, and most likely stupid, question which hopefully someone has some experience with. I have an oldish (2005) surly 1x1. It currently has the 80mm fork on it and fits like a glove. I have...

OK - quick headset question for the bike nerds. I got a set of salsa woodchippers for my mountain bike. I put on a riser stem and a bunch of spacers to get them up to where they need to be but the...

I bought a Hennessey last summer only to realize I am more of a ground dweller. It is the 'desert rat' model (which is the ultralight body and regular fly in a light sandy looking color).

Not...

OK - pretty obscure question which i think i know the answer to... but i thought i would throw it out there. I am due a new bike for next spring. I was all on board for a salsa fargo as i like to...

Bump... anyone interested?

I have a brand new set of q towers and 2 sets of q83 clips for sale. I ended up going with the control towers instead of the q towers. They came out of the box once but are BRAND new. The towers...

I have seen clc and the like but i am looking to build something from the ground up. I have plenty of space in the attic so that shouldnt be an issue. I also really like woodworking so the time i...

A friend of mine is looking to buy a light'ish 4 season tent (or maybe a more durable 3 season?). Anyone got something they are looking to unload?

Has anyone ever built a Greenland kayak? I am thinking of making one and was wondering how difficult it was, how it turned out, how durable it is, any advice, etc?

Anyone??

You will get no argument from me... imho all American lagers are pretty lame (not to say i dont drink them). It did win in that category, though - so it is 'blue ribbon' worthy.

I think most...

I really hope you don't touch alcohol, caffeine, and the like. You are destroying yourself - don't you know that shit changes your brain's chemical structure!

Silly mormons...

Yeah - i thought about that but as this is just a commuter/tourer/cx bike i dont think that will be a huge problem. I went ahead and ordered them... will let everyone know my impressions when i put...

Thanks for all the advice - one more quick question. I recently came across these.

Anyone have any experience? I am thinking this might work better for my purposes. It looks like they make...

Does anyone have any experience with Time ATAC Z pedals? I have a cross check that i want to use for townie duty as well as on some longer tours. Would ATAC Z's work well for this? It would be...

Yup - I occasionally run the panaracer fire 700 x 45c on my crosscheck and they fit with room to spare (enough room for fenders anyway).

First of all - that is just one line of scientific reasoning (ie - not all-embracing). Even if there is scientific consensus (which there isn't) the best you have is a correlation (not all-embracing...

You might also want to look at Salsa's new offering: http://www.salsacycles.com/amigos/2010/01/introducing-vaya.html

It doesn't have horizontal drops - but you can easily get an eno hub and some...

I have a cross check set up for fixed gear touring currently. I used a tubus logo rack in the rear and an old man mountain in the front (mounts to axle and break bosses - no rack fittings needed). ...

You need yourself one of these.

It uses a gas powered weed wacker engine instead of those lame ass electric ones. I mean look at this thing in action......

Can anyone comment on echo rims? Looks like they make a fairly reasonably priced rim in a 48mm width (which should easily fit past my rear canti posts). It is not as wide/burly as a large marge...

Awesome! Thanks for the specific tire recommendations. It is good to know something will fit for sure before i drop $40+ per tire for something that will be questionable.

As far the rim goes -...

I currently have a Surly 1x1 and am looking to build a snow bike to run over cross country skiers/hippies. I see that many people have put large marge rims on them and ran 3" tires... but, unlike...

This one was shot in Fon du lac... with a bow mind you...

Story here:...

Of course 2:55 isn't average. Why should we be talking average with all these fat shit billy bon bons jiggling around and sandbagging the average time for the actual competitors? Quit contradicting...

I can multi-task

So you are differentiating between Billy Bon-Bon and Joe Marathon? What happened to only racing if you are competitive?

And the boss doesn't want a back rub - he only wants power

Quite the intelligent response, there. My post was perfectly rational in that there are cutoff times which guarantee you entrance into the NYC marathon - so a 'REAL RUNNER' shouldn't have to worry...

Well if they are worried about Billy Bon-Bon tell them to quit being so fucking slow and hit the qualifying time. They are 'REAL RUNNERS' right?

Not really - the lame criticisms in this thread are far worse than that of a 6 hour marathon finish time. You should see some of the criticisms i have given when i was all trained and shit...

Who gives a shit if they say they ran it? Who gives a shit if they get a finishers medal?

Why dont you worry about yourself and your time rather than criticizing people?

I am finally ready to upgrade to the Magicshine. Does anyone have any first hand comments on the attachment system? It looks like a couple O-Rings just hook over the housing/bars. How stable are...

It comes down to personal preference more than anything. I always liked a super bright one on the bars with a good flood beam (which lets you see wide angles and, more importantly, shadows) and a...

I have heard bad things too - but in my two experiences with them they were decent. Free shipping and everything came within two weeks or so (not fast - but hey... its from China). They also did...

And yes - one of these lights will do. Put this on your...

Consider that part of my post debunked - sorry for the misinformation.

I still believe the rest of my post to hold true, though. It is still my position that religion is not to blame - but...

Relgion isn't the problem - it is fucked up individuals in a position of power that is the problem. Nowhere in the bible, koran, sutra, etc. is killing condoned. It is some fucked up person's...

I found an awesome touring bike recently that has pretty much everything i am looking for. Only problem is the brakes - it has calipers instead of cantilevers. My question is this; are there any...

Great! Thanks for the help. Anyone else care to chime in??

I know i know - there are a million of these threads out there and i suck for even attempting one of these. But, as much as i suck at starting threads, i suck even more at bike fitting and the...

Who gives a shit? I am pretty sure Lance can dish out 65 euros. I would gladly pay 65 euros to have coffee with Ben Stiller

if you can dodge a WADA agent you can dodge a ball!

Anyone??

Has anyone ever used one of these for the work commute? What are your thoughts? I need to wear a suit to work and work storage isn't an option. Do they have enough space for a relatively large...

Fuck you!

Fuck you!
