Not sure about the totem basic knockoffs.
Pretty sure I saw a distinct lack of black'n'blue on totem's website as well.

Yes, I know, but I felt like someone was going to say it, might as well be me.

I noes. From out my door here my options are:
mega busy ghetto streetz into straight deth hills or just mega busy ghetto streetz.
If i was bike fit, I could do the hills, but I am not bike fit, and I can't train up to those hills where I live. Lousy cycling neighborhood.

Out late drinking on Mon night got about 4 hours of sleep, biked home last night and ran into two fellow freds. One I easily ditched, the other I catch up to, we get to a stop light, light turns and he's one of these guys that takes forever to get his foot clipped. I figure he must be slow, So I yell, "have a nice ride," and go, not looking back. I fly up this hill and steady pace it on a flat, when I hear him say that he's going to sit in behind me for a ride. I guess he wasn't that slow after all.
So I gun it up the next hill and the one after that. Couldn't drop the guy. He turns off shortly after that. About 5 miles later I bonk. I spent the rest of the night eating, I couldn't get enough food.
Yeah you read that - sucker!

Aren't those the yellow .2 and red .1 cams that look like toys?
I'm somewhat surprised by all the hatez directed towards the small mastercams. 4 lobes, narrow head, yadda yadda yadda....

They are ok. The problem is that they are inferior to aliens in the following:
range
head material
trigger assembly (those cables always roll funky)
and the not really kevlar trigger cords
They are good cams though.

hmm, I remember those small c3s being 'tweener pieces, not lining straight up with other brands. Haven't looked at them in a long time though. Wish I'd had the 000 for Mainline, but it turns out that #3 peenut is ok.

Anyway, sent a futile email to BD on the off chance that they could repair it, which I'm doubting since all their shit just comes from China now. The piece is still semi-usable; the gimpy lobe just stays in about a 40% retracted position, and will retract further, but just won't open all the way. I'll probably keep using it as a backup piece until it breaks all the way or gets stuck, whichever comes first. We still have another .3 c4, two Metolius TCUs, one c3, and some old Hugh Banner in that size, which will be enough for all the tips carcks this fall, I think. That thar be green alien land. Yup. Just waiting for disfall when the resurrected Aliens are available. We need the black, blue, green, yellow, and red! Black and blue are ok, but I think other cams might be better in those sizes. They don't have the internal cam springs in the lobes, and so those two are wider than a green alien, a real negative in those tiny sizes. I have them and they work, but I think I'd rather go c3 or even tcu in those tiny sizes. and i want a grey C3. dang. mist the pt. is the grey the 00 or the 000? 000 yeah, 00 is purple, and we're already buddies. theoretically, both are aid pieces, but I'd totally fall on the purple guy. Durp. Well, I don't know that I'm excited to fall on the perple, but I keep it racked. I dunno, maybe it's mental, but the gray looks so much more delicate to me. I really wouldn't wuntz to fall on it. I watched clikker take repeated 30'ers on his purple TCU at the T-wall. Made my anoose pucker.
should have figured owt a way to get that thing to pop owt.

WHAT THE FUCK Out late drinking on Mon night got about 4 hours of sleep, biked home last night and ran into two fellow freds. One I easily ditched, the other I catch up to, we get to a stop light, light turns and he's one of these guys that takes forever to get his foot clipped. I figure he must be slow, So I yell, "have a nice ride," and go, not looking back. I fly up this hill and steady pace it on a flat, when I hear him say that he's going to sit in behind me for a ride. I guess he wasn't that slow after all. So I gun it up the next hill and the one after that. Couldn't drop the guy. He turns off shortly after that. About 5 miles later I bonk. I spent the rest of the night eating, I couldn't get enough food. Yeah you read that - sucker! Perhaps this says more about you than about him...
naw, I didn't wait to actually see how long it took him, I clicked in before I'd made one turn of the cranks and saw the guy was looking down at his foot (!) and wobbling(!).
! = gasp, The horror!
