    my friend has a leader 735TR, they're pretty cool overall but I'll probably never get one. don't wanna ride an ebay bike, rather have my craigslist special. Plus I don't really like their geometry.

    So I tightened the chain up a bit on my bike today. I think it was you JJR who said that the movement (called deflection apparently), should be about an inch. The way it was, was about two inches. And on the bike, when you switch from forward to back, you can feel that the chain doesn't tension up the other way for quite some time/turning of the pedals. So I pulled the wheel back a bit, tightened it up. Any trick to getting it straight? It was actually pretty close just from pulling it back, but I measured both sides to make sure. It rides much better now.

    I bought this sick aero post at the last bike swap for like dirt cheap, but then took it home and realized that it stands twelve inches tall at MAX INSERTION. GUH.

    Did an alleycat for the first time. PIssed because I could have won comfortably, but I got lost and pulled over for not having a brake. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    was still super fun though. it was about 30 miles, ~1500 feet of climbs, lots of sketchy hills to go down, kinda bummed I didn't have my brake on for it. About 2/3rds of the field couldn't finish, wtf hipster kids. i wore suspenders. now back to studying

  21. #346 426 Hemistage 8, Mar 25, 2012
    I own two +2500€ race bikes and this bike you dislike is a collectible and very robust frame. But what kind of bike do you have you #$%#ing poor piece of shit? You don't even have a 1000€ bike, so mouth off and go ride your 50€ shit bike
     
  22. #347 Baklava, Mar 25, 2012
    50 euro bike > 2500 euro bike
     
  23. #348 ging, Mar 25, 2012
    Me the poor piece of shit? Youre the one with an ancient vw polo with a 1.0 litre engine
