    Working the Canadian ski season.

    Hey ya'll. I'm about to graduate Uni and I think it'd be pretty cool to go work in Canada for their ski season as a gap year thing. I know there's at least a few people here who have done it, so I'm just looking for some general advice. At the moment I've got my work visa application filled out...

    Free booze.

    Free 4 pack of Canadian Club and Dry. Yeah, you might get put on a database and have your information sold off, but free drinks are free drinks.

    Who's been to Tokyo?

    So, Rotorburners are generally a well travelled bunch, and in a fortnight I'm departing for Japan with 3 mates. See, the problem is, we're spending 3 days in Tokyo and we have absolutely no idea where we'll stay or what we'll do (besides drinking). There's a shitload of websites I'm sorting...

    tumblr?

    So does anybody tumblog? I know it's quite a hipster thing to do, and in some respects it's just another social media platform, but I quite enjoy it- does anyone else do it? For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, tumblr is a blogging service, which lends itself more to short...

    ROAD 1979 Road Bike restoration: "Black Sally"

    So, when my Dad was in year 10 I think, he bought his first road bike to get into racing. He raced for a number of years, throughout university and pretty well up to the time when I was born. This is the first bike he bought for $100 back in '79 that I dragged out from under the house and did a...

    Chain question

    So at the moment, I'm rebuilding/restoring an old road bike from 1979. I'm making it a single speed, and it needs a new chain. For the moment, I'm just going to run it on the cassette, and switch to a dedicated single cog in the new year, when I have more money. Will it be alright to use a...

    What are you eating right now?

    I like to eat, often while browsing the interwebs. What are you eating now? Or drinking as well I spose. For me, scrambled eggs on toasted ciabata bread. Little bit of salt, pepper and oregano- beautiful.

    Stripped cranks = screwed BB?

    I recently bought a pair of Holzfellers off here with a Howitzer Team BB. The spindle length was longer than the previous BB I'd had in- another Howitzer team, so I can't really use that bottom bracket. I've stripped my previous cranks (Hussefelts), so they're obviously shot, but will the...
