    best tensioner

    I have a Singulator and the DMR Simple Tension Seeker, which is a knockoff of the Rennen. The STS gets my vote - works like a Rennen for about half the price. BUT the STS is drilled for a QR (at least mine was), so if you have a bolt on rear hub, either get the Rennen or be prepared to drill...

    The Guitar Thread

    Of course this post is worthless without pictures, but here's the list nonetheless: Cheap Pawnshop Tele copy with a Fender custom shop neck pickup and an old ass Duncan rail bridge pickup - My main player, for some reason Fernandes Dragonfly - first decent guitar, given to me by a very good...

    See the Simpson's tonight? Premarital Sextet. My band back in college was Sonny D and the Purple Stuff

    NHL playoffs

    Ouch. I guess you either love or hate the Wings. San Jose, Carolina, and Buffalo are my horses. Not saying they're going to win, but they're my teams for the rest of the playoffs.

    Who was the Detroit fan?

    I am a Detroit fan, because I live here. It's going to be a long off season.

    Your favorite chain tensioner for vertical dropouts?

    DMR STS (simple tension seeker) - same as a Rennen, but half the price. http://www.bikemannetwork.com/biking/p/SSCHTEN/CH3050 I have a Singulator, too. It's not too bad, but I like the STS better.

    Whats your job? Do you like it?

    I'm a product development engineer for an up and coming company that makes lacrosse and hockey equipment. It's sweet, but my pay is modest (for now) and it can be a little disfunctional sometimes, as the company and most of its employees are pretty young. I've had a stressful spring so far...

    Conflicted....

    Premium Products is a Haro offshoot that makes a really nice and relatively affordable street frame. I was considering one for awhile. Since they're technically a Haro product, maybe you'd have an easier time finding one in your neck of the woods than you would, say, a Kink or FBM frame.

    Conflicted....

    Yeah, I can see how shipping and import duties would inflate the price a little too much. Are there any decent Aussie bmx companies? You could also look into finding a frame source in south Asia - maybe even straight from the source, Taiwan. Does NZ have steep import duties in general?

    Conflicted....

    You probably don't need me to tell you this, but you'll demolish those rear dropouts running pegs on that frame. I've got an older Volume Destroyer that I got hooked up with by a friend of a friend and it rides pretty nice, but every once in a while I get the itch to get a new frame with a...

    Well, no new bike stuff for awhile...

    Yeah, you don't f___ around. But then, you are a professional. Keep us posted on its progress. *I won't borrow posting my little Gretsch basement rockstar wannabe kit anywhere near this thread.

    Well, no new bike stuff for awhile...

    Siiiick. I'm starting to shop for a new (okay, first) drumkit. It's safe to say mine won't be that nice. I wouldn't deserve it anyway. Is a small custom builder making those shells for you? Does bloodwood contribute to a unique sound, or is more that it's pretty bloody red wood? I'm...

    Cassette VS Freewheel

    I'm all about microdrive clearance, too. I'm a hack and very prone to hitting my sprocket on ledges - my 36 on the bmx has held up longer than any 44's I had back in the day - if I ever get another frame I'll go even smaller (36-13 just clears the brakes on the chainstay). I'm saving my...

    The Weapon...

    www.dannycarey.org - another ridiculous kit. I'm just a little too young to get a boner over Rush/Neal Peart stuff. Edit - click on technology, present

    All Time Best Band Name

    I was in a "band" in college called Sonny D and the Purple Stuff - I can't take credit for the name, we stole it from my roommate. Of course Me First and the Gimme Gimme's is a classic band name. I saw Ciaran put down Elvis Hitler - that's a blast from my shop rat past, my first bike shop boss...

    What is your "other" passion or hobby???

    This is an intriguing list of hobbies. Industrial archaeology and mechanical antiquities, meaning you like cool old junk? We've got lots of that here in Detroit, some very interesting (and depressing) urban and industrial decay. Or perhaps you prefer objects which reached their evolutionary...

    What is your "other" passion or hobby???

    Music - guitar, bass, etc., at least trying... Not much snowboarding this season (well, none actually) Travelling Hockey I haven't really had much spare time this winter, pretty busy with work and school - I almost consider my job a hobby, as I think about it all the time

    What should i name my new bike?

    Everyone knows that dudes' bikes are named old women's names, like Peggy or Agnes or Minerva. Only one of mine is named - Eunice.

    It's crazy....I just....I like country music

    Also, y'all check out BR549 and if you haven't gotten down with the Reverend Horton Heat, you need to asap. I like H3, too. He plays bass for Superjoint Ritual w/ Phil Anselmo.
