Some ****er stole the wheels from my bike. Now it'll be a ***** finding new ones. And today was the day I was going to put it away in the basement at work for the winter.

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

Need new wheels, new cassette, new inner tubes and new tires...

Saw a full 2012 sram group close at $100 two weeks ago. Check it out Jazek.

Noticed a spoke on my rear wheel was dangling off and another is loose. I think it's about time I replaced the stock wheelset
[Off-topic] jaszek:
I need to check what size the wheels were. And need to find a 7 speed cassette
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Question. Guy from the place where I bought my bike linked me to new wheels.

http://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_STOR20.cgi?Action=Details&ProdID=1471

But he said they don't sell the cassettes.

But he did give me the specs for what I need.

"7 speed 11-32 tooth spin-on freewheel"

The problem is I can't find that anywhere. Do you people think I can use a different 7 speed cassette without a problem? I guess if the chain is a bit loose I can shorten it.

[Off-topic] jaszek:
I couldn't keep it at home due to the fire department doing inspection and said it was a hazard in case of evac. Had it outside for a while. That day I was going to ask my boss to take it to the basement for the winter. Ended up bringing in just the frame. They did it during the day, which almost never happens. On top of that, I left my keys at school and I have no idea if my professor has them or not.

Yep I'm jealous even more. I feel bad. Haven't ridden since I moved 3 weeks ago. Starting to feel fat and lazy like any other American. My hours at work have practically doubled and I only get every other weekend off. And I have about an hour commute now.

But not sure if I posted this before. Don't really take pics on the ride. This one was taken after. Its about a 17 mile trail from one lake to another. Mostly flat ride along the banks of the river that flows between them. Then you get to the end where the last two miles are beach sand, rocks, and rolling 30 ft elevation changes. Pop out of the forest to see this.

I hate swimming in lakes. Nasty murky water. But I jumped in and it felt great.

[Off-topic] vmiguel:
Fat and lazy are everywhere, altough it sure is an American stereotype. ;)

I can only ride off road on the weekends, as I live in the city. But I try to ride 2 or 3 times, 30 to 60km each, during the weekdays, we have a good bike lane by the river Tagus, very nice.

Next month I'll be working all weekends, so maybe my next photos will be with rain and mud. :p

Would love to see that lake. I believe you posted earlier, and it looks very nice.

[Off-topic] thelowend:
I'm so sorry if these pics are huge. I sprayed some WD-40 in there but I've had no luck.

I'm turning the wrench to the right with some good force. I installed it myself and might few done it wrong (threaded it towards the right, not left.)
[Off-topic] boborone:
Man idk, should come loose by now with what you're saying.

Badly. The inside of the arm is completely smooth.

That's not bad. Sorry to hear about that though man.

I want to upgrade the V-brakes on my bike to Avid BB7s. Do you think they're worth the upgrade?
[Off-topic] boborone:
Do you have mounting points on your frame to install them? If so, cheap disk brakes will give you better stopping power than expensive v brakes.

Yesterday tried to be adventurous and the result was quick...

Tried to ride up a cutting in the road and I flew...cycle too ...but in different directions . after the falling the pedal got damaged..the threads in the pedal are sheared... So am thinking about welding the pedal with the crank..

or should I replace the pedal along with crank...which is gonna cost me

43MPH is pretty quick. Fastest Ive done on road was around 55MPH on a full carbon Specialized Roubaix. Off road ive probably hit the 40-45MPH area. I ride a 2008 Devinci hectik 3. Its a great bike but I wish the rear stays were a little stiffer.

I also ride bicycle trials and moto trials. A fun and relatively painless and low speed but technical discipline.
