Got the rest of the components for the makeover:

There’s also a tool in there to facilitate future hub service.

Ms. Tone strikes again.

I’m so sorry, Steve. New-bike-day is always a great day, but the emotional cost of losing a faithful steed is a hefty price to pay for it.

Time for a makeover!

A much calmer, but longer detour would be to go up Little Falls to the Community Center and hang a right on Park; take that to the W&OD at West. Lincoln is ok, but there is more activity. I’ve never...

I don’t know where it came from, but he was Dirt on the forum when the forum was new, and he also had a twitter feed using that moniker. Someone made up some “WWDD?” stickers at some point, if I...

I haven't decided yet whether I want to be on that spot where it happened...

Oddly, I found telling some coworkers about Pete kind of helped me. It's great material, because he was such a positive...

Is this the same bike from your freewheel removal thread? How did you solve your spacer problem?

Or riding your “road” bike. :p

You could go the other way with the spacers: use narrower spacers and aim for 123 mm (or so), so you are gaining some advantage for your freewheel tool, and you can squeeze the frame that couple of...

Unless it has a flux capacitor option, I’m not interested.

I suppose for normal people, this limits access to parks. For this crowd...not so much.

It’s true that a bike crash may necessitate calling for medical assistance, which would unnecessarily burden an already strained medical system. Fortunately most of us can still drive: as we all...

You could ditch the road levers altogether, and go with cross levers.

Because in Finland it’s winter year round?

Sounds like an everybody-wins proposition.

I don’t cover my light for people who don’t use one because then no one can see. I cover mainly the upper portion of my light when others are also using lights because my light’s beam is quite...

I hardly ever see drivers come to a complete stop. I also will get passed by drivers at stop signs: these drivers seem to think that when a bike slows down at a stop sign, that’s the perfect time to...

"Utterly useless cycle lanes: a painted white line with no segregation from traffic = worse than no line." My thought exactly as I was riding up Gallows Rd today. The only caveat to this is that if...

My stopping at the stop sign on my bike is not your big opportunity to pass me by whizzing right through the stop in your car, on the wrong side of the road!

Hey, man, I’m just trying to push back on the haters.

Do any of your retro-grouch bikes actually have zero plastic on them? My son’s recently acquired 80s Trek road bike seems to have at least a few plastic bits on it.

I was reluctant to watch it because I thought it would cause me to feel even more antagonized than I already am by drivers on a nearly daily basis of late. Having watched it, I wish all those same...

Point taken.

Man, you’re annoying!
