my OPEN BB area was destroyed from chain suck... I may one day get a carbon road bike but anything that sees gravel will be steel or AL (ti is cool but too expensive). I have now become old man that yells at clouds

That's OK - it's when they start yelling back that you need to worry.

left my bike in the kitchen one time.. came home and the wife said "will you not leave your bike in the house please? it was really hard to get it clamped down in your stand thingy in the garage."

"what?? whyd you put it in the stand??" fearing the worst..

"i didnt want to just lean it up somewhere and have you freak out about it, is that not a good place?"

i go into the garage.... my titanium bike is clamped down on the top ****ing tube... stood there for a minute not wanting to see what i was surely going to see when i released the clamp..

somehow it was fine, but damn baby.. damn. dont ever do that again.
