lol I guess this explains whether the real ones come with M5x25 or not
The VO clamps are $69 (nice) and the Pauls are $127. The Riv clamps are actually nice in that you can clock the cable exit angle which is pretty handy and that’s not offered with the others. Still spendy tho.
I swapped a cheap Token BB for a mid-range FSA one on my road bike to try and silence a creak and now it’s even worse. 
3x8 whatever came stock on trek 930 from 1994. I did get a new crabkset since old one had a seized bolt I had to drill out (it was a $10 frame with most of the components sans wheels).
i dont have anyone to share my dither with so here i am.
im gonna build up the mone el continente with drop bars, i9 wheels and grx stuff.
im gonna replace the titanium MF PUBES bars on the slingshot erb with a more reasonable doom bar that has about 50mm rise and 25deg sweep, and then im gonna put dth’s on it and install my takeatrip lunch box basket bag thing.
then the titanium doom bars are gonna go on my tom teesdale fixed geared because im not feelin these 46cm drop bars at all.
i decided all of this thinking lying in bed yesterday and when i realized what i had accomplished mentally i did a tiger woods fist pump in bed.
Is that a euphemism for something? If thinking about dithering counts, I am planning to put my auto coaster hub on my Mongoose Iboc, with probably drop bars, and also put drops on my diamondback 26er with sram brifty-shifters converted to 11 speed 1x.
no.
Phew!
But it could be.
ok it is.
When people ask, on Wikipedia, what is the origin of the “Tiger Woods Fist Pump” euphemism, then it will be writ, that it came from the lexicon of an obscure fixie forum on the internet.
Busy morning, tubelessed two new tires, put a new 22 tooth ring on my crank, recabled two shifters. Messed with cockpit a bit.
I chipped, scraped, brushed, scrubbed, wiped and washed last week’s salt off my bike.
When I was done there was a pile of salt and dry grime on the floor under the bike.
I vacuumed it up.
Then I replaced the front mudflap that tore off at some point with a new one that I cut freehand out of my strip of vinyl baseboard material.
Then I replaced the front brake adapter spacer kludge with the correct adapter.
It’s not a new bike anymore once it’s been through its first salt bath.
Ah another beautiful winter drivetrain.
This was cleaned and oiled on Sunday. It’s currently Wednesday.
Hmm it would be nice to keep my pants less filthy.
yeah i didnt do any of this really.
sometimes the best dither is not to
tarck is really hitting the epigrams today
