I recently swapped out the gray Michelin Pro you see in the pictures with a new Soma Everwear (5mm thick!). It was so thick that I had to add an extra chain link in order to clear the bottom crossbar joining the chainstays. As you can see, the axle was right up against the back end of the dropouts with my previous setup.

Quake Update!

No, this has nothing to do with Huf.

Three earthquakes rattled through the Berkeley Hills in the past three days. I felt two. Seismologisis said that the quick succession of earthquakes is probably a coincidence, that there is no reason to get excited unless the shakers start topping magnitude 4.0 or so. Ok.

USGS earthquake map here. Google satellite map of the epicenter here.

There have been 314 earthquakes throughout California and Nevada in the past week alone, none of them greater than magnitude 4.3. "The Inconvenient Truth" plus earthquakes, equals a not-so considerable place for real estate investment, no? Run for the hills! Zombies!

To this day, "Gravity" still resides in my top 5 albums of all time.

Today, I hacked the riser bling bars. I'm not even done with this build and I'm already wearing Huggies. Good night.

Shoreline Run

2006-09-09T23:25:00.000-07:00

Today, I took the other half to my weekday East Bay shoreline run. Driving in heavy traffic just to get there easily transformed me into a greedy optimist. The weekend + SF drivers = Ignorant Road Monkeys. Anyway, during my lunch break at work I'll ride to Point Isabel Shoreline Park then turn back because I only have an hour. This time we rode all the way to the Richmond Marina. It was a nice ride session, even through dismal weather.

Ride time: 2.5 hours

Nelson's Bianchi

Nels sent me some pics of his latest build. I've seen some fresh battleship grays out there, but his black '03 Pista Concept takes the cake. Clean with the flat bar & front Rev X (which you said you'd sell me, liar).

And so it begins...

In truth, every moment hails a transition of one moment passing into the next. But in the larger life narrative, big transitions arise and changes unfold in the plot, cast of characters, and location. Thus, such a transitional event in the life of Dubbs has occured: Yes, he started a blog. So sit back, enjoy the flicks, their captions, and all the beautiful little cultured stories in between. I'll try my best to entertain, but be sure to loosen up the straps on your thinking caps... because sometimes it isn't that serious.

Aloha,
