    Bob' date=' I try but I am having problems in my small chainring and cant figure it out.

     

    My question is should you avoid a short cage rear derailleur if you are riding a normal mountain bike (32/34 on the back) or does it not matter because you should not have your chain where you have problems.

     

    I know you wake up in the middle of the night sweating and screaming "CHAIN SUCK".LOL

    So not every cloud has a silver lining.

     

     

     

    When the doctor told me no sport for 6 months min' date=' I asked him what should I do? You know what he said? "Sell your squash raquet!"

     

     

     

    What I cant figure out is why it happended. It was the 5th game of the match. The only thing I reckon is that i did a spin class the night before and they did this wierd standing up and running sort of move on the bike. May that strained my achilles too much?[/quote']

    So they can act like hooligans - I mean regular hub people - the rest of the time? Why don't they?

     

  4. Ok, I use currently, Conti something tubes, GP4K clinchers, and the pink goop from checkers in the tubes... No punctures, no goop between tyre and tube... Goop inside tube...

    You cant get the sealer through the valve into a tube.

     

    You can... I use the cheapie pink Raleigh brand goop from Checkers/Hyper... In my Shamals no less... No punctures...Big%20smile

    Sounds like the experience I had in 1976 and reported here on

    wreck.bike. When I was riding my last Clement tubulars, that had poor

    stitch protectors that caused many pin hole leaks, my tires kept going

    flat. Knowing about the ability of the butterfat in milk to plug such

    holes, I poured a few ounces of milk, from a dairy on the Klausen pass

    in Switzerland, into my tire pump and pumped it into my tires. This

    solved my problem, but a few weeks later, back home, while riding to

    Santa Cruz with a bunch of bikies sitting on my wheel, I had a rear

    blowout and sprayed them with putrid milk, while I had a hard time

    controlling the bike as it slid around on the flat tubular like ice.

     

    This was my encounter with sealant and it taught me that Sealants are

    about as slick as butter inside a tube. You can try that by just

    feeling the slipperiness of a tube that has the stuff inside.

     

    Are you sure your tale didn't originate from my experience. The event

    sounds so similar.

    OMG... From having posts and entire threads reported and then deleted to becoming a moderator... That's surreal...

     

    (edit)

     

    Actually it's not. It's what I've come to expect from this forum.
