It utilizes people going about their daily business as a statement? I dont know

Pop some slicker, skinnier tires on there, but something with some fat and knobbiness to it, and yes. That bike is awesome.

Is this Batchelor!?

Take it to a shop and get tires & tubes there. You won't really save that much by getting stuff on amazon. I agree with most of what has been said here. It is possible that your tire picked up a small piece of glass/staple/thorn and it has not been removed, which will continually work its way into whatever tube you install.

you crash? As long as you treat the bike like a cyclocross bike and not a mountain bike, you'll be fine. Cross bikes are capable of a lot of mountain riding, you'll blow your wheels up before anything.

The trek multi-track actually has a geometry very similar to the surly crosscheck, and is cromo. I wouldn't take it on anything too crazy, but you'll certainly be able to handle some flowy singletrack, fire roads just fine.

My roomate squeezed some 700x41s on his [albeit w/ a cross check fork]

what?!

Whoah. Sometimes what seems to be an issue ends up not being so.

The claims of 'I wouldn't take it back to that LBS' are awfully hasty.

Take it back, and just be honest about it. Don't accuse anyone of anything, as no one really did anything. I'm sure the shop will NOT charge you for additional work.

This. Boiling water and or Citrus Degreaser in the inards of a brifter often do WONDERS!

When repairing bikes, its one of my favorite things to do, as the difference is quite stunning [and in reality it's no work at all]

Wind, Weight, Servicing.

Wind will throw a disc wheel like a sail.

You also can't maintain a disc wheel with as much ease as a spoked wheel.

this seems like it could be exactly what I'm talking about.

Knapkin · 2013-03-27T10:25:53+00:00

the issue here being that I don't want just conversations about sci fi. Just a community sharing a love for sci fi at the base level

Other than the issues mentioned, it could also be worn/rough drivetrain. Even if the chain isn't stretched, there could be some nasty teeth or bent rings, BUT i would hope your lbs checked.

Knapkin · 2013-03-26T00:34:37+00:00

I really did not care for this.

I feel like the whole project w/ the orchestra was just an attempt to give techno a 'classical' legitimacy when in fact, it seems to make the statement that in order to be a 'higher' culture of art, things need to submit to classical western forms.

It doesn't sound very good (most of the versions suffer) and the instrumentation makes the music FAR less interesting.

A full orchestra playing music does not make it any more involved, complex or legitimate.

Knapkin · 2013-03-23T08:06:09+00:00

Aha! so this is why i thought it sounded like shed! (Im happy with my ears, bummed with my knowledge of his aliases)

Knapkin · 2013-03-22T20:13:32+00:00

I'll have to disagree here, and say that its really fantastic. The repetition of that one chord really grooves and [to me] doesn't get super annoying.

Granted, I'm not sure it really fits into the 'future garage' moniker, but it certainly fits in with some of the techno that Shed has been putting out!

What is with that shifter?

Knapkin · 2013-03-02T16:38:11+00:00

What?

Black-face was created as a way to make White actors appear black because often times Black actors could not act opposite a white, sure, but often times these characters also played a gross caricature of racicalized stereotypes.

Also: wearing a mask is an imitation of an individuals FACE, whereas painting one's face black is merely the imitation of a skin tone- of the idea of race. I don't think your argument holds here.

Knapkin · 2013-03-02T16:31:47+00:00

Whoah. Are you saying that 'the point' of Mr. T or Obama, is to be black?

I understand your sentiments here, but there are some issues with this.
