How big is the hole? If its a pin hole, or just a small hole and not a gash, you can use a tire boot. Park tool has them available

It's a flexible material that's kind of hard, credit card sized and thickness. You cut to shape, place it on the interior of tire, it has a sticky side to it

It'll allow you to ride for a while

If you don't wanna buy it ($5.00 at Bicicletta) I can give you a piece if you come into richmond

My front tire is fuxxored (small hole). Just let me know what you'd like for some tradsies. Obviously I'll be returning the tire to you once the weather turns to shit or when I get my order, TIA

fuck yeah, made it all the way to capilano university from my place in east van. 12.9 km according to strava. started at 730 arrive at 830, had to stop 3 times along the way to puke. I think I was underdress (shorts and windbreaker) and definitely out of shape. lol

It's still a little cold out and it will affect your performance. Get some leg and arm warmers next time you ride up there. Make sure you hydrate well in advance and during your ride!

Capilano Alumni here! :D

yep, give me a call or text, you got my number. Trade you for... a couple of spd-sl washers? :toot:..but not neccessary if you don't have any.

bcrdukes 03-27-2013 10:46 AM

Hey azncreationz,

Do you have any spare group sets?

And how soon do you need the spacers? I should be able to get some...soon'ish.

True output is 'only' ~700-800 lumens based on reviews, but for the money, you can't beat it.

I went with this light mainly for the price factor.

It should be about double output of what I'm using now, hopefully much more reliable.

I'd be curious to see this in person!

I commute in shorts these days. I just find my upper body needs insulation but my legs are fine without. Mind you I'm a polar bear and don't mind the cold.

dat_steve 03-27-2013 01:04 PM

so who's riding this long weekend :) i miss riding my fixed so much..probably going to take it out on the next rs ride

bcrdukes 03-27-2013 01:05 PM

I'm in only for a casual ride. I'm not up to snuff for longer rides unfortunately.

And by casual, I mean that there will be a stop to hard park at a coffee shop and pose. :D

Spaceship_coupe 03-27-2013 01:37 PM

I'd be down for a casual/hardpark ride lol. I just gotta get my derailer adjusted as there is major chain rub since I slammed my stem and changed up the cockpit.

Uh, are you kidding? I'm not a store! If I had an entire spare group set, I'd be eBaying that or building up my next bike! hahaha... No, I only have various bits and pieces.
As for the washers, doesn't really matter. I've ordered another set of cleats, so there should be washers included. I'm just asking now, in case I can get some like TODAY, so I can go test ride a bike/new shoes. Just have to wait a couple weeks.

bcrdukes 03-27-2013 02:21 PM

Sent you a text.

dat_steve 03-27-2013 03:27 PM

Ch28 03-27-2013 03:29 PM

Gonna try to go for 2-3 rides this weekend. Friend wants to do a "relatively flat" century Friday morning. Not sure if I'm up for that haha

How early in the morning? :suspicious:

(I don't fare very well in the mornings.)

Alphamale 03-27-2013 04:47 PM

Thanks for the offer 604CEFIRO, dukes luckily had some spare tires lying around and I got a wheel off of him.

I'm game for riding anytime this weekend but I'm busy Friday morning/afternoon and will probably start my ride around 2pm.

bcrdukes 03-27-2013 04:55 PM

It should be more than sufficient, and have been quite reliable based on the reviews I've followed. The major beef with them was the battery sealing was not great for guys MTB'ing in terrential downpour, but it was adequate in most other cases. For $30 bucks, meh.

azncreationz 03-27-2013 08:02 PM

thanks to bcrdukes for coming thru with the washers!
