JamAss

 

What is this? It looks like the shitty ass finishing tape that comes with bar tape, but it's wrapped around the junction of carbon and aluminum. Not only here, but at the bottom of the seat stays as well. It's not only obvious that JamAss is hiding something, but the piss poor way of hiding it is a big disappointment.

whats wrong with this picture?

Carbon vs. Aluminum

This may not be a good idea.

3 day weekend penance

You know sometimes you just ask for it....

Have a semi productive day getting bikes fixed and in a happy mood because your Friday is indeed a Friday.

Then a Cervelo p4 rolls in, owner asks can brake pads be changed? sure you need Enve pads to go with you tubular carbon rims...great have them in stock, all is right in the world

then I notice rear shiftier ferrule is f'D! so have our service writer call up customer, and he wants it by Saturday (yay for being in a shop with a service writer if you dont have one I highly recommend you get one!)...




anyways to change pads and one cable, crankset has to be removed, both wheels, and TT bar had to have tape un wrapped to remove housing.... use thin plastic tubing before removing old shifter cable to prevent a full on gang raping of the P4's innards...

Also to note had to cut rear pads to 2/3 the size to fit on the rear brake!

all in all a very big time suck... with 1 hour to close

Broken Enve Rim

A Reoccurring Nightmare

Di2 + Venge + internal routing = Rape.

At this point, I guess I'm a serial bike rapist...

Broken stuff with a happy ending

I present to you, one broken lock nut. This was extracted from a Bontrager hub while servicing the bearings. I have never seen a lock nut split so perfectly in half before, and under such little pressure. Odd.

The picture probably doesn't really show what's goin' on here, but this is a Trek Madone and that little chip you see in the paint above the Trek logo on the seat stay is in fact a crack that wraps almost all the way around.

Anti Post Warning

Some of my handy work.

A set of Enve All Mountain rims, 32 hole, laced to 240's. A 150mm rear? You ask, yup. These are going on a Demo, in an attempt to make it light...
