Got my rockhopper back from the shop today. Almost a 100 bucks, general tune up, adjusting the derailers, it needed new cables, new rear wheel/hub assembly, and they said it needs new brake pads soon too.

Seems to ride nicer now with a new rear hub, and it shifts a lot nicer too now.

Seems funny to me you build things out of wood, grew up on a farm, but yet pay someone to work on your bike. :D

Don't have time really to do the bike, plus, I don't know how to re-adjust the rear derailer.

Otherwise I would.

damn you guys were some busy little bees. I traded my dreamcast in today and got some dvds for it. Dreamcasts are worth chit now a days, I remember even looking around on ebay and they were going for no more than 50 dollars. So crazy when a console system only gets you a few dvd's, it's unreal.

There are two set screws on it that adjust the range of motion and deadstop. Not rocket science, but it does really help to have a way of holding your bike. It gets much trickier when you wear out your sprockets which tend to cause a little ghost shifting. Took me a while to figure that one out the first time, always ghost shifted only when I was dumb and in too high of a gear for the speed I was going.

I did a modal analysis on an H1 hummer door tonight, sat in a 66 GTO and the DeWalt Nascar, and drank beer while I worked. :D

Did you get to drive the NASCAR?? :D

No, but if the dyno wasn't being treaded I would have got to stand next to it as it layed down some heat.

Last year we put the Goat on it. Pretty cool to hear the intake noise dominate when you pipe the exhaust out of the room and have pretty much the most silent rollers on the dyno that you can have.

Never answer a VT students question about a gun, in particular after ranting about being busy and stupid science homework.

I've got the CZ 452-2E model rifle. I like the rifle alot, the only thing I would suggest is that you buy a rifle with a heavy bull barrel, fluting would be a plus. My barrel gets HOT after ~20 rounds.

LOL @ Sean

and sean, the dreamcast was the first 128bit console gaming system. It was pretty cool back in the day, I loved Marvel vs Capcom.
