COMOPOLO

We should use this thread as a catchall call for extra bike parts. I think we all have a lot of shit we'll never use sitting around our house and, hey, you know. Pay it forward!

I'll start: anybody have some single speed chainring bolts laying around?

Klunk has those.

YEAH BUT I WANTS THEM FOR FREE. Sharing is caring, Kruse.

I could use a brake leaver for my polo bike, mine is electrical taped together right now.

what we really need is a new polo garage location, to store all the bulk extra parts that people have.

preferably a house someone plans on staying at for a year+

I want my D-side crank back from Kruse...

Lol. I knew I'd forget that.

Anyone have a rear wheel and/or wheel cover material?

I may have a wheel for you swisher! It still has a cassette on it though. And aaron I may have a brake lever for you too. I will bring them to the mallet making session!

i'll be modeling all day tomorrow so i wont be able to make the mallet making session, can you bring it tonight? and Courtney, Vince has some wheel cover material.

I am not coming tonight. Katherine is dragging me to some damn opera. And if I wasn't going to that I would be front and center at mini kiss. You don't pass up an opportunity like that unless you will definitely get yelled at.

Thanks Andrew, have fun at the opera!

Aaron I can bring you a lever, but I'd like a few bucks 'cause I just bought a pair. Or you can see what Andrew has.

Is there some brake cable at Pete's or some extra around hanging out being lonely?

i might see what andrew has first, i dont really want to spend money if i dont have to, but thank you ill let you know!

Aaron did you get a lever? I still have one. It's not a bad one; I took it off some shitty Fuji hybrid Katherine had. It's a v-brake lever. I don't remember if its adjustable or not!

I can get you that wheel here in a moment. I have to build up Katherine's wheel first (well, install the freewheel and adjust the derailleur tensioner) and then it is all yours! It's a nice one, too.

no i have not gotten one yet, that would be awesome if i could get it from you. are you going to be at polo tomorrow night? if so just bring it by, if not then we should work out something :-)

I will probably be at polo. Depends on how much I get done!

Yo doodz, I've almost skidded through another tire thanks to this janky wheel. I have a different one that is arguably better, but the cassette on it is trash. Can someone help me switch these out before the weekend? Orrr can I get that wheel from you, Andrew?

You can have it whenever I finish Katherine's new wheel. All I need is a freewheel puller, spacers, and some tape. Just been too busy to get to it...

I have extra spacers if you need them!

courtknee

deflate the tire and move it just a bit. New skid spot!

ahhhh, sank you floppysan.

The rim is out of true, the brakes catch in the same spot in the rotation every time the lever is pulled. Rotating the tire moves the skid spot. PUNK!!!

haha sweet

It will work for a while. At least until I have enough time to work on KPs wheel!

does anyone have some SPD pedals?! i would be willing to compensate however you'd see fit.

There were some in Pete's garage very recently. In the cabinet drawer with all the cranks and chainrings...

Not related to polo, but who has a front rack I could possibly take or buy?

andrew - maybe. i have a cool one for $40....

$40? Gimme a break.

thats how much i bought it from tim for. about half retail...

You just bought that though why do you want to sell it already?

What kind is it?

http://www.amazon.com/Jandd-Extreme-Front-Rack-...

i found a cheap canti mount rack that has same same size platform. i could combine it with the lowriders to make essentially the same rack.

but i'm not convinced yet. like i said, maybe... let me think about it.

So that's basically a no. Last time you said you'd sell me a rear rack you ended up keeping it.

In other words, I want to buy it, but I'm not holding my breath.

i asked pete, he said no spd's. oh well.

i was over there today so i picked them up, they are at my place now, you can get 'em in the morn

I need a seat post for my rig. Whose got one? Yes I will check the garage in the morning too.

If you could measure your seat tube and give the size I could see what I have for you.

does 1 in sound right? thats at least what it looks like on my tape

There are definitely 1 inchers out there. If that's the right size, I have one for ya.

awesome. I think I'll double check at clunks.

It's Klunk.

Yes Kluck says it is a one incher.

I've a 25.4mm with your name on it.

woohoo!

I really like them boys at klink.

We all knew you had a one incher. You didn't have to get a profession opinion about that.

professionistic** opinion

NO wonder we are being kicked out of the garage! Put some fucking clothes on Floppy, the university is fed up.

I think thats the *universe that's fed up

I would like to point out that I did not expose myself this weekend. Not even once. Take a chill pill or I will start showing up naked

It is true that you are "making the shitshow look good" clothed or not hahaaa

I'm in need of a chain ring that is around 32 to 34 teeth. does anybody have an extra one?

does anyone have a piece of yellow I could have? It would probably be the last mallet I make with the COMO yellow :-( I need 5.5"

john and i left some at vince's, it should still be there.

HOORAY!
