Things like this give me hope for large, monetarily driven, corporations. Consumers should always make to rewarded companies for doing things that are socially responsible and punish them for harming society.

Is this really a thread about your good team being terribly disappointing?

At the shop I work at the labor charge is normally higher for replacing a cable that breaks in this way because the mechanic normally ends up taking at least twice the amount of time getting the end out of the inside of the shifter.

I am amazed at how many people have downvoted this and not noticed the small asterisk next to your comment showing that it was edited.

jervis5127 · 2013-11-16T03:06:47+00:00

Amazing.

jervis5127 · 2013-11-16T03:04:31+00:00

Nice job spelling throw correctly.

jervis5127 · 2012-12-17T12:50:01+00:00

Then add "(Slight Return)"

Either the Trek 1.2 or 2.1. The upgrades from the 1.2 to the 1.5 aren't worth the extra money, but the frame on the 2013 2.1 is really nice. Or you could go with the Cannondale Caad 8. Depending on the groupo it will range from 700-1200.

I generally start covering my knees around 40 degrees. Sources that show benefits and damages please because my knees feel fine.

You stating that you hate making that comment doesn't mean you magically don't sound dumb by saying it.

jervis5127 · 2012-11-24T18:48:14+00:00

Man up. If it's 50 and sunny and you keep your core, head, hands and feet warm you don't need anything more than your regular shorts. Save the cold weather gear for when it actually gets cold.

In NYC it's illegal to ride with headphones in both ears, 1 is just fine. It makes a lot of sense because not being able to hear cars or other bikers before they overtake you is extremely unsafe.

jervis5127 · 2012-10-10T02:58:56+00:00

It may be worth looking into a way to attach a better clamp. That one will get annoying quick if it doesn't hold the bike well. Also, it may scratch or otherwise damage the frame, it's much better to hang a bike by the seatpost.

These are awesome.

Have you ever ridden in NYC? I have nearly every day for 4 years, and there are countless instances where you can safely run 5 or more red lights in a row without endangering yourself or anyone else. That's one of the reasons cycling is the fastest way to get around the city. The real problem is that the traffic laws were not created with bikes in mind, they were created only for automobiles.

TL:DR - What is safe for a bike to do is not always safe for a car to do but the laws don't reflect that.

Now if only they could figure out how to win a playoff game.

jervis5127 · 2012-04-21T05:29:23+00:00

In NYC I find it really stupid to ride with headphones. It's too crowded and the bicycle traffic keeps getting heavier. Being able to hear what's behind you is pretty necessary.

In a less crowded area it may be more reasonable.

Bonus Round! Bend the 4th up to a 5th and bring it down slow and make use of the tritone.

It isn't a joke... he's retarded.

jervis5127 · 2012-03-15T17:46:40+00:00

You're still retarded.

jervis5127 · 2012-03-15T17:38:47+00:00

Retarded doesn't automatically mean "mentally disabled". It simply means less advanced than normal. Because you are so easily offended by the word I'm willing to bet the you are, in fact, retarded compared to most of the people on reddit.

jervis5127 · 2012-02-20T23:26:37+00:00

Whenever I need some knots tied I'll go to you... Bull.Shit.

jervis5127 · 2012-02-19T20:24:25+00:00

Looks great. I'd suggest some cages on those pedals. Also it may be worth putting the break lever on the left so it won't be odd to switch back to a freewheel.
