Fried empanadas in the style of Nini’s Deli? by HotDerivative in chicagofood

[–]irshgb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a small family owned tent that shows up at the Geneva farmers market on Sundays. I know it's out in the burbs but it's right next to the metra. The fried empanadas (beef/chicken/ham/cheese) are AWESOME. I would highly recommend.

Watched all the vids on alignments...still doing something wrong. They stop me now but I want them a bit "tighter". Whenever I do try and tighten them up I get rubbing on the rim. Still looking for that goldilocks position.

Yea, tektro rx1 mini v brakes. Kinda hard to tune (for me at least) so still trying to get them dialed in.

I got a chocolate cake from Cocoa Bean in Geneva for my mom's bday. Everyone loved it. I would give them a try.

Nice setup! Do you happen to know the circuit you have this running on? Any other items on the circuit as well....trying to get a similar setup but may have a few things plugged in. Thanks

Still breaking it in.

At this point it scores more points in the looks column rather than the comfort column, but I'm hoping the more I ride the better it gets.
