I find that some freehubs are obnoxiously loud and ratchety sounding, while performing as designed, while others (thankfully mine) are virtually silent. I would think that loud freehubs would be avoided by Velominati. As for the pic with that snugly cl… »

@Chris Chris, I am not shadowing you (much – an no bottom puns here) but that is a rather horrific picture – a document of the dark side of professional cycling? And, I am not talking about the knee scrapes. Will some say that that’s how you look when … »
@Chris Supposition. That’s sorta like an Ass Saver, right? »
@Beers On a site where shaving one’s legs is a detailed topic of discussion, among other gender edge challenging topics, I think you’re manliness won’t be questioned for commenting on a compatriot’s (beautiful) child. »

@sthilzy That’s a lovely, fascinating and thorough piece of industrial design evolution vis a vis ergonomic positioning that you have referenced. If it’s appropriate in this context (it is in my world): chapeau to you. »

@eightzero Am I the only one that doesn’t understand the application of this metaphor, in this instance? I get it that the willful loss of something in one place you wish you had elsewhere could be seen as fucked up, but I don’t get the incest jest. Can… »

@Tartan1749 Ohhhh. Aesthetics! Well, that’s another story. Never mind… »
@Tartan1749 How much does a spoke weigh? Do a few more spokes make a difference to anything but increased reliability? »

@TBONE Nice. And do, to indicate “ownership” That error is rampant. Rules are Rules! »
@il ciclista medio We do that because there is no more powerful a communication device than the telling of stories. Heroes and villains, winners and losers, these are the characters that represent the forces of good and evil – the oldest stories that we… »

@Cyclops This sounds like a ritual typically performed by a rabbi. Is there any sacrament involved or is the very act sufficiently indicative of devotion? Ask and answer – guilty. »
@Chris @ChrisO You guys are one very clever dudes. Funny to boot. »
@Chris and @ChrisO: are you one and the same or a nom de plume for one or the other? You do seem to post together very often. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Rule #27 presents a few issues, at least for me it does. Maybe it does for the cyclis… »

@RedRanger While I am jealous that you are already driving a convertible when we’ve just (hopefully) seen the last of snow for this year, what is even more impressive is that you can simultaneously drive your convertible, work on another vehicle and po… »
@the Engine How the hell can you tell from that photo that those are your bibs? Please don’t say it’s because you recognize the chamois. @scaler911 I hope you keyed his car. »

@PeakInTwoYears Indeed. I would have bought one when I was just getting into this whole cycling thaang. There was a beauty CAAD 10 in a 51 frame at the LBS but they insisted I should be fit to a 54. Every other shop and the friend I ended up buying my … »
Fuck. Decal. »
@PeakInTwoYears Isn’t there also a rule about the chain being on the big ring and cranks at a certain attitude? Ahem, Mr. Punk… Nice deal though! »

























@Frank Why oh why no opportunity to edit something as simple as hear for heat? »
