  1. a new chain grease roadtest and subliminal warning!

    Questions asking what do I do with the grease shimano packs into
    chains: strip clean and lube with wax as suggested by the wax people
    as wax needs a good clean stripped surface for advanced thought ultra
    design and engineered wax chain lubes adherence to the metal surface*
    or clean and lube with chain oil: are often asked. I asked it
    myself! The question is therefore an intelligent question and not to
    be ridiculed by experts. Like, there's this stuff right! Does it ship,
    as ya canna shipit in oil stupid, and not run or does it… quickly we
    proceed into insanity. Obsessing over nothing.
    NOTHING??? GNAW! Grease lubes at a very smooth effective breakin
    level. The OBS can add CC Epic Synthetic (withlinseed) or whatever to
    reduce viscosity for colder climates where the grease drag becomes
    onerous for the few days its on the…assuming the dude asking the
    question cleans the chain. Figure he can type so he'll clean the
    chain. Good luck.

    peripatetic poster delivered when A new HG50 was planned for my
    antique and LO! On leaving the local brothel for a ten mile sprint
    home, columnar cumulus moving in from the gulf of m spattered the
    pavement after a light rain had washed balloon puncturing grit loose
    from enshrinement in said pave's cracks canyons, meteroriting or
    mortar ing the grit upward, yawl seen this in slo mo right! You bet!

    And the new tight chain and this Tuesday baby is expletive deleted
    tight got grit all over it. Yuck!

    So I checked the new chain before I started out for the brothel this
    morning, wiped it down and spread a film of CC over the grease. Then I
    flexed the plates across the line of travel. GRITGRITGRIT in the side
    plates. Make my day. A grit loaded new chain.

    And off course a grit loaded new scram power link.

    OBS asking whatta I do with the grease may not know what this means at
    sunrise before a heavy day and today a ten mile run upwind but off
    course.

    New scram power links do not come off sans scraming and moaning:unless

    fit in there for squeezing the little buggers together.

    appendixes began to pry the new expletive deleted together.

    Wall dagbnabbit if the little sucker didn't ease together just as
    slick as ah you know what!

    Sumbitch, I swear. The grease had sucked (will this get past the
    censor?) grit into ever crack and crevasse and if run down the road
    wudda worn expletive deleted out over the next ten miles.

    No grease in Portland! But iffn itsa not gonna rain, grease is cool
    for breakin. Grease is fun. But not in the rain.

    We're pleased to report no balloon punctures despite the flying

    Hey g.daniels, are you really that smooth with the ladies?

    YAFF - yet another faux Faulkner

    Dear Jim,

    I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear the bottoms of my
    trousers rolled . . . probably to keep them dry while
    walking along the beach, but perhaps to keep them out of the
    chain.

    Anyway, I can't remember if Faulkner (whom I find dull) ever
    mentioned a bicycle, though Heather McDonald wrote a play
    called "Faulkner's Bicycle."

    Faulkner did mention bicycles in a note scribbled in the
    margin of his copy of Lewisohn's "A Modern Book of
    Criticism," apparently in an effort to channel g.daniels
    commenting on Ulrich's loss:

    Note (in Faulkner's hand, p. 74):
    "I'll be goddamned if I ever read such a bulging/mess of
    sweetness and light in my life. Imagine/a fattish man with a
    blond well-nourished moustache/carrying a flash light, and
    you've got the picture./What is the matter with these Huns?
    They composed/music nice, nice some of their painted
    pictures;/but now they cant [sic] even seem to win
    bicycle/races with dignity. But I retract: Mr
    Ludwig/Lewisohn must have translated this stuff."

    http://www.lib.virginia.edu/speccol/collections/faulkner/faulklib.html

    So did Faulkner ever mention bicycles in his fiction?

  8. yes fewer words. that was not a fewer word morning.
    the grit zone is easily experienced->
    take your last cup of jamacian blue mountain,jersey cream,and Irish
    whiskey,set it outside(the cup stupid) on the drive(bricks i assume)in
    a light spritz.
    that is what yawl pedalling thru with the grease accumulating the
    upchucked grit(mars microbes,remember? talk about meds!!!)grit and
    working it down into the side plates: experiment: take a cup of yogurt
    with blueberries and mexican fecal material on the bottom and stir it:
    LO! the blueberries and fecal material rise to the top.
    believe it or that principle actually works in reverse sending grit
    into the chain.
    the gritssphere is an unseen fog layer.
    NO! if you get down and look thru it, giving depth to the upchucked
    grit.
    LO! yawl will see it! try it.
    oh yeah, the metametaphor: noi that's an inside joke. i live in sunny
    fla and every public area in a whorsesite! even the church! i actually
    cycle ten miles to the library and fight off whorse when i get their.
    its a lot like white water canoeing on the colorado.

    Not intending any criticism of Trevor, but, having scrolled to this
    point (perhaps with an added Google click), even the most ardent
    dogmatist might concede that sometimes top posting makes sense.

  11. new chain grease gives a far better break-in than chain oil or
    ugh wax
    smoother surfaces, less metal loss, more polish, longer lived running
    the grease for a few days or too much grit-flex the side plates 90
    degrees to the chain's length.

    unless it rains.
    off course, if yawl cycle on a billiard table then cycle on.

  12. cleaned the grease off and lubed with epic CC synthetic oil.
    rode through a strong afternoon thunderstorm, stronger than the spritz
    drizzle spat mentioned in the previuos grease post: strong enough to
    wash the grit off the road not fling it upward.
    Getting the variables together is a pain but! the Ming Tay tractor
    lock mounted on the down tube(for loaded touring balance) took in
    enough road grit to require some advance thought before pulling the
    lock out from it's holder.
    So grit grit grit: the CC epic did not acquire grit as the grease did.
    No grit crunchy flexing the side plates across the chain's travel
    line.
