Got an email from FF sponsoring the Ditka Dash. As one of those people Ditka refers to as "asinine" because I believe the NFL needs to rename the Washington Team, and given that he believes the word "Redskin" is meant to honor native americans, I think one could do better than "Ditka Dash" to honor da coach. "Cranky Cracker Crawl" seems like a start?
chicagoprintmakers.comI have aerobars on my bike like a lot of people, but if there is ANY chance of a car or another bike being near me on a training ride, I'm going back to the hoods and ride like a good little roadie.
Yesterday on a not-too-great-road I caught up with a guy on his aerobars [he had another rider on an old steel bike drafting him.] I took a second to see what was going on, and pushed past. While a few cars went past us, aero guy started trying to contest me moving ahead---if he hadn't been in aero position I probably would have enjoyed the challenge, but I was pretty uncomfortable around him and his apparent lack of judgment. I did not want to be part of the peloton.
I know the aerobar guy
Yesterday I uninstalled the SRAM PG-1070 casette that came with my new bike in order to remove the plastic spoke protector on the back wheel. I thought I did a pretty good job of keeping the pieces in order as I removed the cogs and spacers, but I had this left over after putting it back on. It's about the size of a spacer, but it's keyed to fit the freewheel on the Mavic Ksyrium Elite hubs.
What -is- this thing? No mention of it in the tech docs that I can find, I'm wondering if it goes between the cassette and the hub. Anyone familiar with this?
Anyone tinting chine colle paper prior to using it in an intaglio process? I'm thinking of maybe water-coloring some gampi, but am worried that the color will leech from the gampi into the damp intaglio paper [ probably Rives BFK ]. One thought would be to water-color or stain the gampi, let it dry thoroughly for a few days, then apply paste, let that dry and finally spritz it just before it goes into the press. I'd be using oil-based charbonnel ink.
Anyone doing something like this?
