That's what I'm talking about!!! Cruel!! :-D
XC rider's head on a cross made out of a stake and a pair of flat bars. Now THAT'S what you call disdain.
If I had a dollar for ever time I reached down and gave a turn and a half on the barrel adjuster to "fix" the wonky shifting on one of the riders on our XC team's rear derailleur for them I'd have enough money to take J out for dinner and drinks.
Got some NOS black Benotto, but it wouldn't look "right". Every colour under the sun on fleabay BUT white. Tried a few of the old school roadie shops around here, but I just get a funny "you-just-come-out-of-a-coma?" look.

Apparenlty it's rocket science.. when i replaced the idler wheels on my RD i had to adjust the shifter.. did it on the fly.
PS. White bar tape is so pro!
You know I lie in wait for **** like this, right? :twisted:
Back story: Rider came to a short climb in the wrong gear (46 x 11) and tried to power through

What's the story behind that one?
Come to think of it, I don't know what my crank set is. I want to say XT with Blackspire rings.. but im not 100% on that XT part.
I put the back story under the pic.
Cannondale (I actually typed out the real name?) had Alex Pong of Magic Motorcycle do a production version of his ridiculously expensive CNC'd cranks for their CODA house brand.
The arms of the cranks are hollow, 2 piece composite machined assemblies. IIRC, the CODA cranks are forged then partially machined to look like them. Unfortunately, they were just as fragile.
You can see how the two halves are held together by a slide in locking insert in this (literally) exploded view. The engineering is brilliant. Application of said engineering, not so much.

Boo wanted to see if anyone was up for a ride tomorrow but the weathers looking pretty iffy. For those of us not made of sugar we could probably get a ride in if we were at a trail head by 11 or so as its not supposed to hit until the afternoon. Anyone whos game speak up!

Does this mean I'm not coming over at 10am?

Well that was an awesome way to start the day! Had my first pro crash, in the sense that the trail was pro, and I was not. Sorry amazon, you can have your boyfriend back now

Ok, so my Jekyll has a Shimano Hollowtech crank set with Blackspire shin-slicers. Hopefully they don't explode on me
