Unless he had a reserve I believe he just did. If he won't deliver I believe Ebay has tools to deal with these types of situations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you get 5 strikes before they decide fees aren't worth it. Or he'll just cancel the account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motocat12 Posted December 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 My first Dura Ace Crankset since the octalink II days. 7800. Very light. Not as much fun to hold in the cold as carbon. Cheaper than 7900 but 20% less stiff. I tell myself they're more aero. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludwb675 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I look at mine while working out downstairs twice a week. Going to pick up a new mountain bike this year. The used one I got last year is just a bit too small. But that bug almost bit as hard as the track day bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted February 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Ti Spindles. They weigh as much as an AA battery. Should I use no inner race needle bearings or switch to nylon bushings. Edited February 3, 2018 by motocat12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I rode on Saturday. Not quite 10.5 miles of frozen singletrack. It was a little icy in some spots, but overall, quite rideable. Nice to be back outside. Royalview looks a bit different covered in snow. I actually almost got lost once. The trail doubles-back and nearly intersects itself, and some people had crossed over in a way that made it unclear which direction to continue. I managed to ride up an icy area where the water drains down the trail. The people behind me were heard yelling, "WALK THIS," which was a point of satisfaction. Planning to be back outside (somewhere) this weekend. Vulture's Knob has a winter race on Sunday at 1:00. I'll be preparing for "preschool prom" with my daughter. It's not a father/daughter dance, but I am expected to attend, and wear a suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I also lubed the shit out of my chain and cassette after several recent snow rides. While good for my bike, this has wreaked havoc on my car ...which is parked below my bike, when I hang it in the garage. Chain lube does not wipe off of a windshield and hood nearly as easily as you would expect. I was using dish soap. May have to attack with something stronger.

motocat12 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Got to the park to ride some laps with 2 bikes and no front skewers.Rode anyway. Also was trying a new handlebar without undoing the old cabling so had the one with the brake levers taped out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 cleaned up my bike a LOT last week to take it to Ray's Indoor. Put on an "ass savers" fender last night. Hoping it won't be needed for riding this weekend. I also ordered new brake pads. New chain needs to be ordered and installed for the spring.

Yea i waited 15 years for a proper garage I got all the room I could get. Really wish it was 28x40 but it wasnt possible. When the snow stops for good her old red turd work car will go back outside to make room to pull the bikes in and out and able to turn them around in the garage.

Pauly Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Tried my luck at beating the front after work and snagged a quickie. Obligatory mid-point pic as evidence I still own a bicycle. About half a mile from home the front caught me and damn near put me into a curb. Wow! Very unnerving as I wasn't ready for such a strong cross wind. Still beats not riding. I think it needs shallower drops. Maybe a Nitto Noodle is in order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That storm seemed to come out of nowhere. Beautiful afternoon with calm winds then blowing and windy a few minutes later. I like the Salsa Cowbell for shallow drop bars. They were on my Warbird before the crash now on my Crosscheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love guys who go through new bikes every year or 2. They make for some great deals Bicycles or motorcycles. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
