Any Bikers??

yea, I got cut off today by someone in a bimmer, totally gave them an earful at a stoplight. Replaced the cranks on my Schwinn fixie today, new bottom brackets and cranks make it so much easier to ride!

This is why I rarely ride on the road. And if I do it is all backroads that get not traffic at all. I just get so stressed because of other cars. I really do need to get out more on the roads, and hopefully I will since I am going to try and commute to work

I love the intensity, but sometimes people are ridiculous.

Rain all week is going to make for a slow week at the shop

i need to figure out why my chain keeps wanting to jump off on my ss/fixie when i put a lot of torque on it

 

[hiddengamer7]

How's your chainline? Is your crank bent maybe? Sometimes it takes something as small as a slightly bent tooth on the crank to jump the chain.

well i've never been able to get the chain fully taut, not sure why, but that's probably the culprit

John, have to tried taking a link out and then running it further forward in the dropouts? One thing I do is tighten the non-drive side pretty far back in the dropouts so the wheel is crooked (facing left) and then use the wheel to put the proper tension on the chain and tighten the drive side properly.
