Today this happened.

So did this.

nuhtowel

wrong sized allen key huh?

Dannihilator

Today I got in a fun, hilly 50 miles.

Adrian_

Right size, just got frustrated and hulked out because its 97 degrees in my house.

Retem

been with the it for a few years I used to buy KHS flite 100 frames from him and now I just buy his frames

got that last year

Retem

you can get a really big allen key to remove the self extracting bolts cap and order a new one from sram
you are going to also need an easy out for your drill go slow and get a good bite on it

hockeyteeth

Actually, I think you can use a standard 15mm axle nut. At least I did this on a SRAM XX crank the other day, so yours is probably be the same size. And why would he need an easy out?

Adrian_

To be honest i'm probably gonna leave it be until I can get some 75's and let my LBS deal with removal.

Scrodzilla

That sucks. Let me know if you need a new self-extracting assembly. I think I have a couple of them hanging around in a box somewhere at the shop.

RGNY

giggled myself silly over this one.

hockeyteeth

Oh, man. I didn't realize that was installed on the bike. That sucks...

cc700

some practice laps on the velodrome. das it and das all.

races called off for GP practice.

Today I got some new tools for the tool box. It's to the point now that I'm getting my hands on tools that would only make sense in a shop environment... I mean I'm not going to take out and reinstall a headset for fun.

I think remember this from somewhere but i just can't put my thumb on it..... anybody?

jimmytango

Trackstand, stand around, possibly do an alleycat, play bieks.

Sixty Fiver

Today I got in a really hilly 700 miles and have another 300 lined up for tomorrow.

jdgesus 

ugh, cars man, WHY!?

seau grateau

If only you were at work with LessonLearned.

jimmytango

Hahaha!

So, I just went to a private midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises. Amazing. Absolutely incredible. The fact that the theater also had a bartender just for us that was pouring Dragon's Milk, Zombie Dust, and Jameson didn't hurt.

RGNY

@ Leukybear: The Walking Dead tv series. (1st or 2nd episode).

i loved the comics when they came out, just can't get into the show. great writing, but still a depressing slog.....

LessonLearned

My trackstanding is weak. I can stand around. Never done or seen an alleycat (cept for the cats in my alley). The last one I can do.

Today is payday. So now I place an order with Scrod. I should probably just arrange it so my paychecks are forwarded straight to him. Makes things easier haha I'll be paid with bike parts please, thank you.

LessonLearned

Good thing you're not in Denver.

I'm steppin' up my SS/FG game big time:

bought this on fleabay to replace my dented worn 03' KHS flite for my road fixed:



Notice the water bottle bosses.

It will replace this, which will get riser bars and some seatbelt style big nylon straps for jerkin' off around town:



I also bought this, which will have a legit 1/8" setup and will be used only at the velodrome and perhaps from my car to the 'drome on the concrete. Currently planning a low-profile aluminum tubular custom build w sealed bearings for it:



also its near the end of the year which means i get to buy my team sponsored road bike for 2K if I want or give it back and not pay nothin':



i think that imma buy it.

Sixty Fiver

They have their purposes...

Starting the day in Ritzville and moving on to Portland... Am so looking forward to later.

Leukybear 

You would be stupid not to at that price. If you ever decide not to.... I'm local if you know what I mean.

On another note, have you gotten any word about your forsaken steed?

Retem

I woke up to news of a massive shooting at the theater I almost went to at midnight
