I am beginning to discover a rather unpleasant downside to locking up your bike: While it does means no one can take it, it also means that if say, the lock freezes, and then your key breaks off in it, you have a very long, cold walk home.

What the hell is up with the -21 tempatures!?!? It's fuckin' April already.

GROAWL.

ouch dude, that cant be a fun walk xP

well... least u know the bike aint goin anywhere :D

danbug12 April 6 2007, 07:37:43 UTC

Yeah, it sure wasn't going anywhere. I freed it, though, so it's all good.

ronnyfire April 6 2007, 07:38:48 UTC

woo! sure its happy to move :]

everything on the bike all good? no broken junk?

Ugh, don't get me started!

The bottom bracket has some weirdness going on, either with the spindle, the cups, or both. I may have to replace those pieces, and until then, the pedels and crank arms are wobbly.

Also, I have a broken spoke on the back wheel, and the area where the spoke nipple would thread into the rim has broken off, so I can't replace the spoke without getting an entirely new rim.

Neither of these are very hard tasks, but neither of them are things I really want to have to do, or really have time for. Augh.

(p.s. Sorry if I confused you with all the bike terminology. :P)

i aint confused, used to ride bikes all the time, and i had to repair em a good bit, but yeah..

lame that all that is broken -_-

(couldnt think of anything else to say.. you seem to know how to fix everything :] )

Well, one can know how to fix something without actually knowing what it's called. I thought perhaps all those fancy names might've confused you. :P

I do know how to fix it all... I just don't want to. Heh. Laziness.

ronnyfire April 7 2007, 07:33:34 UTC

verry true, but lucky for me i know what its called :D

hehe, but aint that your main mode of transportation?
not something u want broken for too long

It's not broken so that it doesn't work, it's just that elements of it are not working as well as they could be. So it's not an immediate concern, just someting that needs to be dealt with sooner or later.

ronnyfire April 7 2007, 18:26:30 UTC

ah, fair enough :]

Plus, that rear wheel is only a back-up, one I'm using until my proper rear wheel gets welded again, so that it's a fixed gear. Can't wait.
