Haha you tell me.
As much as I like to eat, somehow when it's time to eat I always seem to go to the same places.

Johnny...I got flats in a month when I put the fixie together...ended up with these in all my road tire bikes...not a flat since...feels great and solid.

A Topeak/JoeBLow dual head shrader/presto is a must!

oh and pedro's levers are the bomb.

love Pedro's products! Almost as much as my Park Tools ^.^.. I'm a tool whore..


Never read into those liners but definitely an option to consider!! Thanks J! Definitely opens up the options for different tires in that case.

Never heard of liners before, curious at how well they would resist to MTB rock/branches/crap punctures.

One of my BFFs is Jamaican (i should say his family is, he's from Brooklyn lol). His auntie makes the BEST rum cake. Also, I loved listening to his momma talk, everything is poetic as fuck.

Got some blood drained out of me today. Then rode motorcycle in a brisk manner. Now I'm dizzy and tired. Hope I recover enough by COB to ride home.

How are you futtbuckers doing?

Yumcha, what were you doing in SD? I heard this time of year is the only reason people move to Canada. Why travel during summer?

Better be a blood donation otherwise you're just a pansy.

I donated my blood to a doctor to make sure I'm not dying next week.

I do donate though, just so you know.

Why so dizzy then!? Did you need to fast before the samples being taken?

(or maybe ride the bike slower, lol)

even that doesnt make sense. I get blood work done 3 times a year, where I have to fast 12 hours before getting blood work done for ma diabetus. Never felt dizzy after. and they take 3 vials every time.

Hey I felt dizzy once after giving 2 unit of platelets and 1 unit of plasma in one go. That shit isn't cool.

3 vials is not much though, that one time when they checked for testosterone and cholesterol levels and another few things they took like 6 vials from me and I can't imagine that's the most they've taken from someone at one time. Sucks to be the guy who has to give 12.

I like collecting all the used syringes, wiping them clean, and then use them for injecting heroin

You know, when the desire gets too strong. Watch out for your diabetus though, that shit dangerous!

Oh, I don't inject the heroin into myself. I inject it into random people I encounter.

Does your company hire more male or female interns? This is definitely a dealbreaker for me.

Oh, you're that kinda guy. That's why I always watch out when going downtown Montreal near the shooting-site (which strangely is right in front of a college bar that's very popular...)

Mostly female interns. Overall employees, I'd say it's like 60/40 with women being the majority.

How's that for retainer?

I'm tubeless on my MTB, only reason I didn't add those.
Zero pinch flats or thorn flats in probably 10 years. Only had to replace due to wear...
Tubeless is the way to go...just gotta keep air in them to keep them seated.
