    Those stands work better if you invert them and hold the wheel from the trailing side. Not a problem when the tire has pressure but if it drop down then it won't tip over. Also wrap a good amount of electrical tape around the metal where it touches the rubber to protect the tire if the pressure...

    Little bit of no-mans land on the fit and very familiar looking You are really close but it does look like the fine tuning is still needed. Here's my thoughts. (I'm curious what other think) Option A is based on the video which I think is more accurate than the photo. In the photo you leg...

    need some help!

    If I read that correctly. Chain Ring is single speed Rear is an 8T Under heaving load "aka pedaling up hill in low" the chain falls of to the inside. I would concur with happy the things to check: Chain is stretched and worn out; LBS should have the too to check that. Front Chain Ring is...

    those darn laws.....

    Wear those riding a vendetta and people are going to think you are targeting some sort of weapon array at them.

    First Silvio ride was a wash...literally

    A 50/36 combined with a 12-36 should give a combination where they are all usable even if severally cross chained. Nice to be able to do that in an emergency even when you know you shouldn't. There are two reasons they wouldn't would be all usable: (1) if the Qrings are out of phase relative to...

    Cruzbike conversion kit

    If the pads are the same as those on a Quest; I have plenty of spares taking up space in a box in the basement somewhere; the auction winner can have them for the cost of shipping and $5 for an adult beverage for the packaging crew.

    Start here: http://www.slowtwitch.com/Products/Things_that_Roll/Tires/Tire_Sealants_2765.html Compressor needs to be stronger than the pressure of the tire.
