  1. you say the chain is popping off when you shift... you probably just need to set the limit stops on the derailleur. get a screwdriver and get in there. http://sheldonbrown.com/derailer-adjustment.html
  2. id leave it on the road where it belongs and get a far superior android device.
  3. this isnt your average sticks and seeds brown frown, and thats the "street" price. they figure $50 per eighth. 50 * 8 = 400. they always do it like that to make it look like they made a bigger bust than they really did. if you were buying in bulk, an ounce and bigger, the price per oz would go down.
  4. ive seen that place before. from the look of it outside, i always figured thats where all the stolen bicycles ended up lol. good to know its a legit spot
  5. what a waste of tax dollars.
  6. its strange really... IMO you often see a split on the right when it comes to the police. many people seem to strongly distrust the gov. when it comes to bureaucrats and regulators, but then put an inordinate amount of trust into the police. there seems to be a strong sentiment that the police need less supervision and less watching than other government employees for some reason. kind of strange, especially considering that police are given a fantastic amount of power over the people that they come in contact with compared to your average bureaucrat city council member or EPA paper pusher...
  7. it happens. http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/crime/blog/2011/07/third_home_invasion_by_fake_po.html
  8. ive had good luck with B1 downtown. the bike shop in gahanna is good too.
  9. the police knock on the wrong door at 2 am, fail to identify themselves, then blame it all on the victim. clearly he is a dumbass.
  10. its strange that in a country where personal responsibility is held in such high regard, that we let people hide behind qualified immunity. if the roles were reversed, they'd be clamoring to prosecute the citizen. the thought that just because you get a government paycheck somehow shields you from liability is ridiculous and is contrary to the principal of equality before the law. if anything, the government should be held to a higher standard. until they are able to be held personally responsible for their screw ups (just like any other citizen would be), this kind of stuff will keep happening.
  11. how does this shit keep spilling out of the politics forum?
  12. cuttlefish are flatter than a squid, and they have a fin that goes all the way around their body.
  13. im surprised how many people DO like it.
  14. tru dat. roosters wings are are the best. my ranking goes like this roosters > qsl > bw3 > dog poop > bwr > winking lizard
  15. why do people act like such babies on the road?
  16. yeah, its not a safety inspection. they don't care about that. they just want to make sure that it is not stolen. what are you gonna do with this bike? do you want to ride it on state land? if so then you will def need the inspection and title. if you just want to ride around the yard on private property. you dont really need the title or inspection...
  17. not sure such a thing actually exists, but BBC, CBC, Al Jazeera and CSMonitor (despite its name) are all good places to start. credible news with minimal spin. its kind of sad that we have to look to international news sources to get good stories about what's going on in our country. FOX is not a place to get reliable news. neither is MSNBC or CNN.
  18. park your car in the garage where it belongs.
  19. don't think he will get the standard cop screwup 2 week paid vacation and slap on the wrist?
  20. IMO thats what you usually get with police trade ins. often they are pretty dirty too... most cops only shoot to qualify every six months or whatever. and they are not meticulous about cleaning. occasionally you get a guy who likes to shoot, or someone who is anal about cleaning his gun (or his commander is anal about it)... but more often than not the police trades are not shot much, not cleaned much either. a good run through with some CLP and they are GTG.
  21. someone is salty they have to take a number and wait in line...
