Reply With QuoteOk, ok, ok!!!
On our ride this morning, Brandy at one point looked at my bike and said "Yep, you have one too!". Looking at her confused I asked her what she was talking about.
She was referring to the "dork disc" on my rear wheel. So, not wanting to be branded a dork, upon my return home I promptly started trying to get the darn thing off.
I was having trouble with it, so I decided to take the wheel off to get better leverage.
Then came my call for help. And I blame it all on my friend.;p

Hey Veronica, I loved your website with all those cool tour pictures! Especially the pics of Rivendell Bike Works. I should be getting my very own blue Rambouillet in the next 10 days or so....I'm going out of my MIND waiting!!!!

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
But you don't listen. You just push harder.
And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.

Ooooh Veronica, I like the little bike stand you have in that picture. I need a stand for my bike. Where did you get it from?

and thus the title to the thread.... maybe we should've gotten the connection... I'm a "dork"... get it???
Glad you got it off and everything back where it is supposed to be! You are too cute!

What's a dork disk? Only thing I can think of is a spoke guard, and you can't get that off without a cassette tool. Originally Posted by Tiffanie

You're supposed to take that thing off? Who knew? (Other than everyone but me, I mean.
)
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.
