C2s are substantially narrower than the Stinger. I adjusted my brakes for the Stingers then use the barrel adjuster for the Jet/Bastognes. The barrel adjuster is really far out.



When I put the Stingers on, I have to bottom out the barrel adjuster.

"Dragons Forever," tough one to get through. The English dub makes Jackie sound like a wimp.
I think I'll watch Crime Story next.

Hed has done PTs in Jets before, but you have to ship it to them IIRC. In my mind that would make a heavy wheel married to a heavy hub... too heavy even for me.
How do you like the Kinlin/PT build? I am thinking of building that exact wheel very soon.

nope. while tri-state folk may not be as hardened as VT/NH and Chicagoland folk, southerners are beyond pussys when it comes to snow.

100% WINNER.
I love mine - the only time I'm on a bike it isn't along for the ride is when I'm out on my bar/grocery bike... and I've yet to have a single problem with it of any sort.

Hida, so do you run a 60mm front with a 30mm rear? How do you like the handling?

I've got no complaints - it seems to work fine.
Then again, I'm hardly a connoisseur of fine handling.
Given the choice I'd run something bigger on the back, but that has more to do with aero and not much to do with handling.

You can't imagine how cold the rain can get down here. It even delayed school for 2 hours today.

I'm feeling it man. I can't deal with the lack of sunlight. Makes me exhausted even when I sleep.

Suns out now though. And of course it'll be gone when I leave for home and it's supposed to snow again this weekend when I might have had a chance to enjoy it.
