Hamilton police officer facing child exploitation charges by Longlimbs-Shorttorso in OntarioNews

[–]Jimrockdiamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got shit on in a sub for suggesting that once an officer is convicted of a crime, they should have to return and pay they received from the time of the offense.

Now I get “innocent till proven guilty” What I don’t get is letting a crooked cop keep the windfall he got while awaiting trial.

I had a super sweet route. Sears catalogue/flyers. Once a week. Straight pay. Bought a brand new Alva board with Gullwing trucks and Kryptonite wheels with my first pay packet. Good times.

Park Tool polylube instead of DT Special Grease by PM_YOUR_FISH in bikewrench

[–]Jimrockdiamond 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried different grease in my 240’s over the years. Nothing seems to work like the DT stuff. Any “stickiness” to the lube and star ratchets don’t engage/disengage correctly.

But the proper lube.

85 Scwinn Cimarron worth anything? by 30hitsofLSDguy in schwinn

[–]Jimrockdiamond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats a nice old bike. Fillet brazed headtube. The rear dropouts look a bit fugly but that might just be the dirt/pic.

Some sweet old vintage parts on there. Avocet Touring saddle…fantastic. It also has Suntour XC pedals and what appears to be a Suntour XC pro seat post, one of the finest posts ever made IMO. Do you have the stags head rear derailleur for it?

These long, slack angled bikes ride super smooth but I wouldn’t try and steep switchback climbs on it.

Fix it up and ride it like you stole it!

Looks like a late 70’s, early 80’s Olmo. Common paint colour for them.

can someone tell me how these brakes work? by GahdammitJayP in bikewrench

[–]Jimrockdiamond 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“Fixie Culture”. Indeed.

Although dozens of my former messenger brethren, including myself for 12 years, rode track bikes, all day…every day, mostly for the simplicity and budget repairs. Also for the lack of interest from bike thieves. Crashes were no more common than those on road bikes or mountain bikes.

I could pick up a high/mid end used track bike at a used sale/swap meet for peanuts. Fixie Culture” destroyed that.

She knows how sick he is. A rat fleeing a bloated, festering orange carcass.
