I remember when V-brakes hit and then the question was, do you get parallelograms, or do you go ghetto-stick?I remember these things being pretty great, relatively. Might even still have some on an old Kona that is hanging in my moms shed.
On a side note, I noticed Sram placed a subtle Avid logo on the back of the Eagle derailleur I have. I'm guessing a throwback to the rollamajig?
I had 1996 XTR with the parallelogram, and the rapid rise derailleur with built in thingamajig type roller!I remember when V-brakes hit and then the question was, do you get parallelograms, or do you go ghetto-stick?

Technically, that's an 8.5mm wrench you ding-dong.shut up and hand me my 327/977th wrench.
what part of communism sucks did you miss?Technically, that's an 8.5mm wrench you ding-dong.
My current job is the first one I've had where I actually had to do engineering in freedom units and it sucks so fucking bad. The worst part is that I'm actually getting used to it and am getting to the point where I don't think in metric anymore, outside of work.I have no idea how the model T in this country ever came to be.
Our shit is so stupid
Holy shit, what kind of damage did you do in your past lives to deserve such kind of torture? I just googled that. And I thought Freedom drill sizes were stupid...I still have to deal with that crap with old dam designs.
Miner's inches.
How much water your city gets a month is determined in miner's inches. Look it up and think about drought, lawsuits, and tribal water rights demands. Fucking miner's inches.
This is gold:I still have to deal with that crap with old damn designs.
The miner's inch is a unit of flow in terms of volume per unit time, usually in relation to the flow of water. The definition of a miner's inch varies by location.
speaking of yeti quality - brand new frame:Whenever the choice is simple design using previous patents, or more complex design to get around patents, always choose more complex design. What could go wrong?

To be honest, that sounds like 100% impact resistant. Maybe not structurally sound, but impact resistant.(random / related) also discovered you can easily compress the top tube of a trek slash with your thumb. not sure if they're all like that, or just that sample, but you should definitely try to put your thumb through every one you see. not like a $4k long travel enduro frame shouldn't be somewhat impact resistant or anything.
Well, now, that's... depressing.speaking of yeti quality - brand new frame:

Don't forget to carry an allen wrench and thread locker with you on every ride to tighten up the linkage that just loved to loosen halfway down the trail.I might just buy a balfa bb7 when I replace my current metal trail bike.

Why No One Wanted A&W's Third-Pound Burger
In the 1980s, A&W attempted to capitalize on the success of the Quarter Pounder—and drum up a little competition for Ronald and friends—by introducing a third-pound burger.www.mentalfloss.com
I love thirds, but seem to be the only one. For some reason my mind sees many situations where something is definitely less than 1/2, but probabably more than 1/4, so I say it's 1/3. No one else seems to think in thirds and the deli guys probably hate me when I ask for 2/3lb. They always give me 3/4.Sorry for keeping beating the dead horse, but...

With the Hispanic deli workers I always ask for “punto seis seis“ or “dos tierces de libra” . Seems to get the point across.I love thirds, but seem to be the only one.

Pivot Firebird 29er top tube is also rather squishy if you ever get a chance and to a lesser extent the downtube of the most recent generation Devinci Troy too.(random / related) also discovered you can easily compress the top tube of a trek slash with your thumb. not sure if they're all like that, or just that sample, but you should definitely try to put your thumb through every one you see. not like a $4k long travel enduro frame shouldn't be somewhat impact resistant or anything.
