put my bonti tires on my new atlanta wheel set
road to the cricketers and got super Shit faced with jack, baker and lewis
can’t really remember my ride home…
Bought a new Gold KMC Strong Chain, cheap 3/32 chainwhip, a lockring spanner and a token 14t 1/8 cog. Nick the beast hooked me up at cycle city in Lyneham (ACT)
Tried to remove the old Velocity lockring from my hub. One on of the many slip-offs I managed to wedge a spoke between by thumb and the nail. Bled a bit. Used a washer to pack up the space between the lockring & spanner for more leverage and finally got the sucker off.
Fitted the new 14t cog to my bike and then took 92 inches of brakeless fun for a couple laps on my street. It feels damn fast, I can’t wait to take it to the track…
best purchase I ever made was one of the shimano lock ring/chainwhip tools. used to have the same setup as you, but my knuckles hated me after a while. hadn’t had a slip yet with the shimano and it’s as tough as old nails. will probably outlive me.
Whenever I’m rifling through my bag and my friends see it they are like WTF is that!
I had my bag checked going into a club once and the bouncer saw it and was like ‘yeahhh nahhhhhhhh wtf dude’
let me give you a tip, don’t use thinners/turps/etc on any leftover gum if there is any. rub it off with your fingers. i made the biggest sticky mess a while back trying to clean off the leftover gum with thinners. they weren’t velocity stickers tho, and they’d been on the rims for at least a year.
