    This is sort of a one-eighth sighting, or a missed connection, or maybe even a found connection.

    ME: Using my Park Tool; determine my chain is cooked; replacing it; not taking a test ride.

    ME: Trying to commute to work on a brand new chain and a worn out chainring. Skip skip skip JAM.

    ME: Wimpering beside the MVT with my jammed busted chain.

    THEM: A herd of poseurs in matching kit flying by and laughing at me. “Do you need any help?? Oh Hi Mr. Cannon”

    ME: Looking up ~ its the managers ride from The Kid’s shop. greeeeeeeeaaaaaaaat!

    ME: “No no, its okay. I’m a dumb ass. I put a new chain on a worn out chainring.” and finish splicing the damn thing back together again.

    THEM: Laughing at me while cycling away

    Anyway, I need a new chainring and I aint never done this before. What does one look for when buying a chainring?

    you can also get the Aceras with a little plastic chain guard that tends to break off after 39 minutes of riding.

    that’s going to be as close to replacing the original as possible, based on the bikepedia entry.

    Yeah, not so much. The last time I did this to her, she bit me!!! (cant teach an old dog new tricks) I have transported foster puppies in a houndabout.

    Lol that made my national dog day. I bike with my Australian shepherd. But he runs next to me. It gives him a job to do and he needs it.
    When I try to bike with my pit bull she sets her pace at 5.5 mph and won’t go faster or slower. I get bored even on a fixie. I even tried tying both dogs together thinking the pit would go faster. But it just made it so nobody has fun. I have gotten many funny looks biking with my 4 legged friends.
