Wasn't there a part about the Sheriff locking his place of business?
Election Day(s) Thread.

How big, specifically, is this gap?
That would mean defaulting on rent. I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me. He went into full party degenerate mode towards the end there. I think he moved here, was really stoked on bikes and how to figure out ways to make them better, then made a little money and just lost his fucking mind.
I actually knew him fairly well at one point because friends worked there or rode for him and we all rode together regularly, but he always seemed like a guy I wanted to keep some distance between once I realized how easily he lied to people. The bikes were legit though. Two of my aforementioned buddies have held onto a few and there's nothing wierd about any of them if you put modern shocks and forks on them.

Of all the frames I powder coated, the Disco was by far the buffest damn thing on the planet. The head tubes were 1/2" thick. I was impressed with how they were built, but never got to ride one.Saw a Disco Volante get hucked into an amphitheater. Massive huck to flat.
neve have run anything but Hayes Hydros on my bikes in the last 20 years. I've never had any of them break or leak , guess I have been lucky
....or had them brake as strongly as shimanos.
That's the rub. It's like crack. Unbelievably strong high but just not a long term sustainable strategy. Like American economic policy.
Should have built that bitch up and snuck a few runs in.
You guys doing runs for Jan or just had some dude's one off in your shop? He sourced around on that stuff but mainly used one coater in Reno who I still take snowmobile and truck parts to.
Hayes were either stick in the front wheel strong or your finger wasn't touching the lever.
current Brakes on my trail bike are Hayes Dyno's with 185 rotors. I can lock em up or modulate them well under my 230 pounds
There was an LBS that was a Karpiel dealer and one of the mechanics was a rather large fellow who built up an Armageddon (IIRCC) that had something like 12 inches of travel. Completely ridiculous.
I think it was actually about 3.50.
Tree-fiddy, actually
you fellers measuring in pinkbikes?
Never worried too much about power as long as they don't fade. Have had really good hand strength since middle school or so.
Who am I kidding, I had gorilla grip in kindergarten.
Please don’t use that word.
Personally, I have had far less issues with Shimanos than any other brake. Hayes especially are always shit, Schrams always need fiddling, Avids (old svhhhram) were universally crap.. Had good luck with Magura too now I think about it.
Thanks to Trump, imports like XT brakes have gone up in price. Used to be able to find one for $99 now they're $155 each.
Some rando off here I think. I just recall the effort to remove the bottom bearing cup. The only other frame that was close was the Turner DHR.
They are both legendarily leaky.

Worldwide demand for bikes (as in countries where people is replacing commutes in buses/trains with bicycles) has shoot up.
My local trek dealer sells out every new arrival of stock of affordable bikes within days.
Lbs cant keep up with tbe demand.
On your bike — if you can find one: Nationwide bicycle shortage prompts Christmas warning
If you were hoping to find a bike under the Christmas tree this year you had better send off your wish list early, as a nationwide shortage is putting the brakes on purchases.

That one is unrelated to trump. Shimano, like sram, has been cracking down on EU distributors selling to the US
Yup, instead of taking their North American distro channels to task, they caved and allowed the ass raping to become codified. When a European shop can sell either a SRAM or Shitmano part RETAIL for significantly cheaper than what a dealer/shop can buy it for WHOLESALE in North America...somebody is pissing in your cornflakes from a great height. Last thing I bought from Europe before the embargo hit was a pair of XTR Trail pedals for less than half the NA price and a SRAM seal press for 1/3 the NA price.
Some things are still a deal. Just got a Maxxis DHR2 for 2/3 the Cdn price and some Wera tools for under 1/2 the price. Zee Germans who still ship to NA rock.

Trump Voters Angry That Bookmakers Are Paying Out on Biden's Election Win
Those who backed Trump to win the race have criticized the decision, with one even suggesting legal action.

The thing that's batshit crazy to me in this story... is that the police fucking investigated the claims that the crazy person was claiming. The police should have just thrown the fucking douche nozzle in jail... he assaulted another human being with no provocation. With a fucking gun. Lock his ass UP... there is no "Well wait a minute, maybe we should listen to this guy's story" here. Lock. Him. Up.
Seriously, I don't know what fucking thread to even respond to this in! It's equal parts Eff Da Police, election day fraud bullshit, and whatever.
The fucking stupid in this country is tits deep, it's a wonder we aren't actually drowning.
Newsmax said there was widespread fraud and this guy was a cop at one point. AC repair is the heart of the deep State, so I would suspect them as transportation for said fake ballots.
If you ever wondered what it was like to be alive during the collapse of the Roman Empire, this is it.
