yeah, I did a similar thing a few timesJono L said:I kinda did that first time I rode my mates BT, didn't stack but still kneed myself in the gut good and proper
. It's a **** feeling.
I reckong Nascar drivers must say something similar to themselves531Aussie said:continually saying to himself out loud, "don't stop pedaling, keep turning left, don't stop pedaling, keep turning left"
I covered it in Easton stickers even though it's Dedacciai aluminium 
I cheated by leaving the cups in place & only removing the crank arms & ringshelpful hints said:
If all else fails I think it goes something like 'as many balls as will fit then take one out' If they are small balls like a head set 'remove 2'
The only pluses for braze on hangers are they look cooler than a clamp, you don't get marked up paint like you do using a clamp and braze on is slightly lighter than a clamp mount. There are pluses for using a clamp on front derailleur IMO.531Aussie said:I finally got that Ciocc. There's 4 licenses right there
I need MORE STICKERS!!!!
It's only 1", and I just noticed it doesn't have a removable derailleur hanger, but, oh well....
Looked great! 
lol, McDonalds got the worst of that sponsorship. With every rider on a complimentary meals contract, The Cheetah is now the highest paid in the peloton, more than Bettini or Boonen. He downs about a million Big Macs per annum.classic1 said:http://www.cyclingnews.com/track.php?id=/photos/2007/nov07/milan07/milan071/QUARANTA_BIOLO_PIST1343
LOL
Have a look how fat Ivan Quartana is. Any wonder the fat ******* can't win a race anymore.
probikekit have 1" stronglight threadless on sale at the moment - silver only531Aussie said:^ Yeah, I once busted a riveted braze-on one an old alu Specialized, so I just rammed a short self-tapper in there.
most alu frames seem to come without braze-ons (or "rivet-ons") these days ...I think??
One inch forks don't bother me neeva, it's just that the options are severely reduced, and maybe one day they'll be very tricky to get.....or so they say. One inch, black, threadless headsets are already a bit harder to get
A guy I used to race with reckoned that if you nailed the start, then rode erratically... swerved/weaved, no bugger would have the guts to pass. Great way to get a gap on the first lap. I never tried it but he swore by it... he scared a lot of people in the pits too though cos they all thought he was a few kangaroos short.531Aussie said:Some dude who used to run Gran Prix reckons he hardly ever rode track, but when he did, he used to scare everyone around him by continually saying to himself out loud, "don't stop pedaling, keep turning left, don't stop pedaling, keep turning left"
I'd sort of do that when I rode in the lower grades. Didn't want cowboys riding near me, so I'd ride like one myself.flipper said:A guy I used to race with reckoned that if you nailed the start, then rode erratically... swerved/weaved, no bugger would have the guts to pass.

I'd start swinging on the wheel at 10 to go, rather than a couple of laps to go like if I was in B grade.

in defence of him, he won at the height of EPO and when the peloton still had the "piano tranquillo" enforced in the first week of the Giro, with Cipo getting sleeves cut off and getting off the bike to chat to women.classic1 said:
