Anyone else think we've crossed a line with the whole Black Friday thing? I think we crossed it years ago and do not participate. Going to do some shopping online, but you won't find me in the stampede.

LBS ended up just dremeling black oval washer that sits behind Yaw FD's mounting bolt. Which allowed room for chain watcher/keeper and it's limit screw.

Honestly though, we haven't been to the mall in a couple of years.

You mean Black Thursday? Yeah, the line has been crossed. Unfortunately, I think that enough moo-cow shoppers will still stampede for ****ty plastic, disposable goods and it'll only encourage more retailers to follow suit next year. I hope I'm wrong - I hope that the Thanksgiving openings completely bomb and we never hear of it again - but I don't think that I will be.

It's only in America where we spend a day reflecting and being thankful for what we have, to only anticipate the striking of midnight so that we can stampede our fellow man just to hoard even yet more stuff.

God, I hate Black Fridays. Only reason I'm even going to consider going to the mall is to work there, and once my 4AM shift is over, I am gone like the wind.

If the idiots @ Saris really think I'm going to strap that cheesyass bike rack to my Lexus, they are incorrect. Back it goes.

Wow, 650b spreading like wildfire, gonna make tire shopping even more difficult. I already say Doh 29 way too much. Luckily I've yet to actually buy the wrong tire.
