I wanna be cool:



My single speed ride today.

Its amazing how short that 9 miles feels on the road compared to in the woods.

I now have two bike racks. Unfortunately, I don't have a bike to put on either of them. They came with my roof rack.


Let me know if you need one.

[Erik]

Instead of selling the racks, you should buy a bike!

I wish my campus was longer than 500 meters. As it stands now, a skateboard works fine for me. It mounts into the snowboard mounts, too :D

So david you know those aluminum MKS we have... up in ithaca, yours broke.. one ofmine took a shit on me today too. I just bought them in june. I bought new clips and am running my Soma double straps, for the life of me i cant get both straps through on one side. i tried squeezing on the ends with pliers to try and make them flatter. they just won't go through. I should never have taken them off in the first place

Alright I can't decide so I'm turning to R3V for help. Which wheels should I get (for that white leader frame, will have a carbon fork and headset, black handlebars, and either a white or black saddle)?

Are you running brakes? I would not go for the machined face. I like the black cause the lettering on your frame is black correct? white is always nice too.

[Erik]

You should ACTUALLY get these...

That first set has a fixed/freewheel hub in the rear and machined surfaces... that's a no no... Unless you're running with a brake

The second set however is SICK and I THINK you just showed me the wheels I want now.

[Erik]

...or these.

I was thinking about running a front brake, but I'm undecided. Probably will end up without one, don't want to even spend the money on one. Hmmm that last set you posted Erik is pretty dope, now I have to decide between those and the black ones I posted... the decisions!
