My roommate sucks

Wow, i cant believe he's so audacious, and stupid at the same time.

Over the summer my sherman slider fork that i no longer use was in the basement collecting dust. He must have thought it was cool to throw it on his bike since he had an exactly identical fork, and that maybe i wouldnt notice. Only i had just put 200 dollars of parts and labor into getting it rebuilt just before i came across a good deal on a 888.

I'm 99percent sure the fork he put in my fork's place is not mine:
A) it has the decals on the lowers that my fork never had since i bought the bike- duh
B) the spv adjustment nut thingy has the anodized red surface rubbed off from the first time i got the fork and used the wrong size wrench.
C)cable rub from the routing i used for my brake. he routed the cable differently.

time for a stern talking to. and an ass whoopin

ideas on proper ways to handle this/ get revenge?

swap the forks and don't say anything? see if he notices. drink beer while doing all the above.

while you're at it, toss a few bbs down into his seat tube.

This guy's such a fuckin shitbrick. (I'm one of House's roomates too). He's progressivley gotten to be more and more of a dick. He even does shit just to piss us off. We've got 7 guys living together all in one house and we all get along just fine except for this prick. We've all felt like knocking him out on several occasions, but this is def one of the must fucked up things he's done.

You don't fuck with someone's bike, especially when it's fucking with their wallet too.

By the way, I'm looking at pics on my laptop right now from over a year ago. Two of them clearly show the fork without decals on the front and with the SPV sticker on the side. He can't say it's his fork. What a fucker. Let's hear it guys, what to do.......

You take it back off his bike, and shove his old one up his punk ass.

bottom line, after any other (completely justified) punishment, he needs to be booted form the household. the other six of you ought to be able to suck up a months rent if need be until a new roomie can be found.

how about ya'll make his bike disappear somewhere in the house? or maybe the roof? screw the bbs in his seat tube; something that will get progressively stinkier and stinkier over time. fishmeal fertilizer? or under his car seat?

body harming things are deserved, but that could come back at ya in a not so happy legal way.

Take your fork back off while he is away. Take some parts out of his to make is dysfunctional, but not noticeable until riding. Then hide yours where he can't reinstall. Go ride with him and watch the carnage.

The bbs down the seat tube is good, but a hot dog is better.
Some of my friends put a hotdog in my other friends seat tube of his hardtail, it was there for almost a year and on our last street ride before he got the bike packed for school across country we told him about it, it took 20 minutes to get it out, and we had to stand 30 feet away in the parking lot, on a summer night.
it was rank.

I agree. Make his bike disappear-permanently(of course get your fork off of it), then kick his sorry ass out. Maybe put some ben-gay in his underwear or something similarly painful before he departs.

Why the fuck haven't you pussies sent him on his way already? Life's too short to live with douchebags.

Relpace the fork

gut his internals for backup parts for your own

shit in his lowers

reassemble

^^^^ Excellent idea. :yourock:

I picture him taking the bike into a shop in a few days/ weeks, saying "this fork used to ride smoother, then got stickier and stickier, and now it won't move at all." I do have some sympathy for the bike mechanic who finds Mr. Hankey where the fork internals used to be.

This takes some work, but its effective: pull the valve stems out, fill the tubes with as much water as possible, replace the stems, inflate, watch him suffer with an extra 10 to 15 pounds of rotating weight. I've only seen this done once, but it worked very well.
Or just give him the beat down that he deserves...

Fecal matter in the lowers would provide concrete evidence that the Manipoo moniker isn't just name calling.


Take your fork back and then vote the SOB off the island.

Just put all of his shit on the sidewalk. You are already splitting the rent 7 ways, it soulds like 6 ways might be better and not a helluva lot more.

Sack up and just confront this little bitch. When he tries to explain why he is using your fork, totally bust him with the evidence, pictures, etc. that you got to prove he is using your fork. Then charge him for the use of the fork, pretty much make him buy you a new fork. Then kick his sorry ass out of your alls house, but wait til he pays May rent first. That should hit him where it hurts, I know I get pissed when I got to fork out money I wasn't expecting too. And if that doesn't work, just kick his ass for being a douche. But definitely kick his ass out of your house, when it is all said and done.

i like the ideas. realistically though, i'm just gonna take it off his bike and let him put his fork back on if he wants. at least he didnt get any rides on it before i noticed.

i dont like confrontation, and it's not really necessary 'cause school's over in <2 weeks and the last month's rent is already paid. though if confrontation is necessary im not worried- him: emo 140lb. bitch... me: not lil bitch

weird how someone who starts out pretty chill at the beginning of a 2 year lease can slide downhill fast after getting dumped by a girl. we're all ready to get away from this loser.

and i feel sorry for you folks that live in the town he ends up taking a job as a police officer in. [shudder] for the thought of another asshole cop in the making.

Weak fucking sauce! Get him back w/ cottage cheese in the seat post or nare in his shampoo or piss in his apple juice/beer. Something!!

Edit: Perhaps you should go get drunk and think on it a little more.

Yeah, you definitely gotta put something in his frame. Meat products are advised. I like the hot dog idea the best.

I'm not saying you should hospitalize the guy. However, this is like the parent that gets their kid out of every scrape and jam they get in to. The kid never feels the pain of the mistake they made. This guy needs to know he got picked off.

Take your fork back and leave his fork on the floor next to his bike. You need to call the douchebag out for what he did. You don't need to yell and scream, but you need to let him know he screwed up. It wouldn't hurt if your other roomies said something to him as well.

And, yes, you should drop a dog in his seat tube.

i love this thread, bike revenge is hilarious

get a rag and a healthy dose of super glue, probably should use some disposable gloves as well. Give his chain, that "special" lube with the super glue. a little on the shock and stanchions probably won't hurt either.
