    Suggestions of commuter worthy backpack that can fit a 17" laptop?

    The only time I need to fit my laptop in my backpack is when I travel via air. The water proof/resistance is nice so that you have dry cloths to change into etc. when you reach your destination. I looked at those dry packs but I'm also concerned about comfort and breath-ability hence my...

    Suggestions of commuter worthy backpack that can fit a 17" laptop?

    Right now I'm considering the Ospery momentum The price is pretty expensive at ~$150, but I like the features and the fact it has a rain cover. I'm always paranoid about getting caught in a torrential downpour albeit rare and the contents getting soaked. Patagonia has a black-hole-pack...

    things to do in Nagoya

    Nagoya is a huge city, Not many people speak English, so moving around is a little difficult. The Toyota museum is awesome and a must see. See if you can take a short trip to Kyoto. Lots or temples to see there. Tokyo is pretty far and not too many tourist things to do. Toyota and Kyoto...

    Goggle Choice

    I race motocross and have owned a bunch of goggles, oakley, smith, scott and dragon. Bang for the buck I haven't seen anything that beats the Dragon MDX. Solid construction, great fit, great foam for the price. IN TX where it;s 100+ deg in the summer not having sweat in your eyes are...

    Problems wearing goggles / prescription glasses?

    What OTG's were you using? I used to use Scotts, no problem besides crappy foam. I got LASEK, yes with an E so I'm cured now.

    what spokes and nipples?

    I’ve done quite a bit of custom thread and fastener design and contacting on sides is a bit of a misnomer, wrenches contact on the corners. The tighter the wrench fit the greater the contact area making it look like you are contacting a flat, but in actuality it’s just a larger area of the...

    what spokes and nipples?

    That costs two arms a leg and a nut sack. I rock a modified Park tools 4 sided wrench. I think the pedros is the best bang for the buck.

    what spokes and nipples?

    I tried those Pro heads and honestly couldn't tell the difference from any other nipples I have used in the past. What rims are you building with that you prefer 16mm nipples? For a weight weenie like me, 16mm is out of the question.

    what spokes and nipples?

    :cheers: :cheers: Everything you said is spot on. I could not have said it better myself. I really can't add much on spokes and nipples other than I like Wheelsmith and Sapim DB spokes better than DT's. As for spoke wrenches, I use a regular park tools wrench then swap to the 4 sides for...

    Help! Swinger stuck

    I don't know how the swinger works, but on most typical shocks that have a gas charge the shaft should never stay compressed. My guess is you had a leak, compressed the shock, the pressure in the reservour was too low to extent the shaft back out and you forced all the gas out and now you are...

    Formula Hubs or DMR Revolvers?

    Man I was thinking about the same exact thing. I decided on the DMR's because of weight. The Formula weights don't include skewers and the DMR's use a lighter bolt system. What rim are you using?

    Buying double butted and balded spokes WHERE????

    None of the local shops stock double butted or blades spokes and I need some super light spokes for my new wheel build. I'm not willing to buy full boxes and I tried calling some wheel building places but they too don't use butted or bladdes spokes.I'm looking for 2.0-1.5-2.0 or 2.0-1.7-1.8 or...
