Hmm… sounds like a business plan. I can rent myself to some employer so they can get my 250 miles a week

Cuz mine sure doesn’t give a rats patootie

I haven’t seen a single bad suggestion here. Reality is that a BB usually lasts an awful long time and is the first to get condemned but frequently the last to actually be the issue.

Like the look of the new Bell.

RestonDC, I’d have to pass on the Bern. While it looks like a nice helmet, the almost total lack of ventilation would cook my head like a pressure cooker. I could see it for a great winter helmet, but moving into summer? I’d have to pass.

Well, if that doesn’t grab you, then there’s always the thought that the 5 3/4 inch screw they used to hold things together on me makes for a wicked swizzle stick now that it’s no longer embedded…

Or you could be like me with my deer collision and have enough titanium in my shoulder to light the TSA scanners. Doesn’t rank high on the fun scale trust me.

So what did you get for a bike?

How long did they take to turn the application around if I may ask?

Thanks!

I noticed you didn’t mention the seat post.

Thought the same thing when I started reading. Had a similar noise that I *swore* was the BB. Changed it and the crank to find it was a creaky seatpost.

And pedaling in smooth circles just meant I had good form and wasn’t exerting odd pressures on the seat post.

I have ione now on my Cross bike though. at 15k miles on a MegaExo BB it’s about twice it’s normal lifespan, but it’s symptoms aren’t the same. clicks and creaks, but you can feel it in the pedals..

No kidding. I yelled “ON YOUR LEFT” this morning to a guy who was all the way on the right… so he immediately turned into the left lane and stopped, stunned like a deer. Luckily I missed!

Oh, that was you? I thought you said “Turn left!”

LOL.

Heh, I think CCrew was making a crypto-joke there. Well, semi-joke…

Actually given the fact the RSA seeds got breached, no one really knows just how secure they are anymore… so it kind of has multiple meanings.

calm down and talk myself out of removing him via. the window.

That’s the first temptation isn’t it?

Glad you’re OK. Bike can be replaced.

And yeah.. wear a helmet. My hard accident mine was cracked in three places. Better it than your skull.

They’re not really random, though, are they?

Nor secure anymore

I park there most mornings now. Pretty well done and easy in/out for me. Getting on the trail pretty straightforward from the lot, albeit weaving sidewalks.

I’m actually debating chasing a locker there and riding to there from Leesburg/Purcellville every day then jump the metro. Wife is getting slightly paranoid about the outbound from DC in the afternoons mixing it up on M street.

Considering the 19th century was before the automobile

He buy you the new bike?

Glad you’re ok!

[CCrew]

Beginning to sound like I’m just getting the luck of the draw then
