or 'You think you sweat alot.'


Took the grips off to change bars and this was the salt accumlation:

Good thing I did. Most of the white stuff is corrosion with some pits(greenish areas) that are millimeter or so deep.

 

[MTB_Rob_NC]

Are you sure that is salt?


What kind of grips do you run that are so pourus?

And don't you wear gloves?

 

[I Are Baboon]

Good time for a new bar.

 

[chicodude]

You need some lock-on grips...........

 

[mack]

I have allot of that on the inside of my bars, I had no idea that it was from my hands... as i wear gloves.

Goddammit. That's my line......... :mumble:

[-dustin]

i thought this thread was gonna refer to the 80* temps today.

i took my lock-ons off not too long ago, and there was nasty ass smelling liquid on the bar. i don't know what the hell it was, but it smelled like an asshole.

please keep your weekend activities to yourself.

Yea today TOTALLY SUCKS becuase i'm all stuck up inside.

 

[JRB]

My bars don't do that. Actually, that's not my bar is it??? I agree with the lock ons and a cleaning program. Preventative maintenance ain't so bad, ya know.

 

[stosh]

Gross

 

[Wumpus]

Are you sure that is salt?

I didn't taste it.

What kind of grips do you run that are so pourus?

I run bar ends on that bike and I'm pretty sure that alot of it gets sucked under the grip at the end next to the bar end.

And don't you wear gloves?

Yeah. They don't stop sweat.

 

[Wumpus]

Actually, that's not my bar is it???

No, but I was about to put the riser bar on there today.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Kind of hard to run lock ons with bar ends.

Bar ends rule.

-S.S.-

 

[narlus]

Bar ends rule.

-S.S.-

especially those dreamy purple ano ones...

 

[SkaredShtles]

especially those dreamy purple ano ones...

*Now* you're talking..... mine are just plain ol' silver.

But for bonus style points: I used to have them mounted on a *riser* bar.

-S.S.-

 

[Wumpus]

especially those dreamy purple ano ones...

I had these cool pink ones before I got me some of those purple ano beauties...

 

[SkaredShtles]

Whoa. Is that bike pink *AND* purple?? <swoon>

-S.S.-

 

[JRB]

why can't you run bar ends with lock ons???

 

[chicodude]

why can't you run bar ends with lock ons???

You can. You can even get shortened (sp?) ones so your brake levers aren't inward too much

 

[JRB]

shhhhhhh - I think Chris thinks you can't. He probably doesn't know about the grip shift ones you are referring to.

Hum.. does that mean I broke something 'cause I ran those stubby Profile Design ones w/ some lock-ons when I had a flat bar

Geez. I learn something new everyday. Thought that they locked on to the end of the bar, but looking at them they are just clamps.

Let it go, ya'll.




edit - I even deleted the offending message.

You never have offending messages. You are the most laid back friend of mine. sheesh - I didn't like lock ons for what it's worth. I would just get Susan to let you buy a compressor.

 

[Wumpus]

I would just get Susan to let you buy a compressor.

That was my plan.

 

[MMcG]

Do you still have that Klein? If so, it's probably still worth a good amount of money!

 

[McGRP01]

Purple rules! Here's my old purple beauty being brought back to life at the moment.

 

[WhItTy]

That Bianchi is unreal!

 

[Wumpus]

Do you still have that Klein? If so, it's probably still worth a good amount of money!

Yeah, but it is two tone blue now and has a crack in the seattube by the clamp.

 

[Wumpus]

Got two rides on it as a SS before I noticed the crack. I was using it for a kid trailer hauler for a while. Check out the 150 mm stem. And that is a quadra 20 on the front.

It had already been sent in twice to fix the clamp area (It was also gray for a while). I decided to retire it after this last crack.

 

[Skookum]

mmm yummy salt lick....

seems useful if you have a pal on the trail who is dehydrating. Probably work better than Gatorade.

 

[Wumpus]

especially those dreamy purple ano ones...

Besides the purple ano barends...

Red white and blue bulleyes hubs and a carbon and ti speccy fs fork(2.5 lbs)

I watched a mechanic last week beat the crap out of a titanium fork with a wooden mallet to get it unstuck because the owner "sweats a lot" and I guess it just pours into his head tube. It was very crusty and very nasty.
