Carbon fiber and steel fork vs hammer

Andrew — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:44:19 +0000

When done right it’s strong and less sketchy than most people think. I’ve got an el cheapo cf fork on my fixed gear and have had no problems with it over its two year life span.

Generally I don’t really go out of my way to watch fixed gear freestyle videos. This video however is different. Chris Akrigg is a really talented trials rider, and this video is of his first few rides on a fixed gear.

Crud Roadracer Fenders

Andrew — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 17:26:52 +0000

Winter’s on it’s way and as we all know, nothing takes a bigger toll on your bike than the salt and slush combo. These fenders were just announced on the internets, and should be coming out soon.

You can barely notice those things! And they’re designed for bikes with out fender mounts. Also, the supports are made to break in case of emergency so it won’t end up fucking up your wheel. Sounds awesome and I’m looking forward to putting these on my IRO and leaving them on. Should be around $30 when they’re out, which is cheaper than basically all current fenders, and they’re lighter. Sounds awesome.

Hang tight.

A lot of dead air on this guy means that I’ll be updating it with more kinds of non-Albany but still cool bike things. Word.

Day 1 Report

Andrew — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 18:54:09 +0000

I got woken up by a freight train at 5:30 am and wasn’t able to get back to bed. Got geared up, packed and ate breakfast by 7 and got riding by 8. Met a dude from Boston riding the tour on a conversion and we rode the first 22 together.

We met up with a dude who was a computer programmer on a hybrid who was ripping harder than me and the other fixed dude. We kept riding and he kept ripping on the hybrid.

It ruled.

The canal is pretty boring honestly, the people are pretty intresting and camping is super fun!

After everything was setup it was normal campy shit. However there was this super good (hilariously bad) bad that played for way too long and annihilated Billie Jean.

I like camping.
