Also keep spare tube in the office.

No, very "crude" gries-nipple. Must say, I like the idea...

Did someone actually do this before? "if you can't be bothered to go through the fuss of removal and servicing, drilling a small hole into the pedal and injecting grease periodically is a perfectly acceptable alternative. Secure the pedal safely in a vice (using soft jaws if you have some) and mark the spot to be drilled with a sharp punch. Use a 2.5 or 3mm drill bit to carefully put a small hole in the end of the axle, through the cap. Clear away all metal shavings carefully before reattachment" http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/workshop-servicing-pedals-and-cleats-18073 straatvark2008-08-20 05:43:58

This morning nearly got run over by a car - made a stupid, stupid mistake on a road I used hundreds of time before and know the risk and what to do. Funny how your brain stops working in the last 2 km's when you attempt your first commute of season in an unfit state. Interesting: "Many cells in the body can function for a short time using anaerobic metabolism, or metabolism without oxygen. Alas, the brain and heart, while skilled at many things, are notoriously poor anaerobic performers." http://www.avweb.com/news/aeromed/181937-1.html And: The verbal memory scores in the running group decreased following the VO2max test; in particular, immediate recall memory and delayed recall memory were significantly worse after the test compared to the controls; A prolonged memory effect was also shown to occur as it took three days for the running group to fully recover their baseline scores; No significant differences between the runners and controls were found for visual memory, motor processing speed and reaction times. http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/does-exercise-affect-brain-function-35945 straatvark2008-08-13 13:15:57

And to think i just thrown the two "cheep looking" bottles I got with my Bicycling renewal in the corner of the garage... I went and retrieved them now, seems a bit more respect and testing are required

Definately a need, but not on another www site where it is only view-able via browser - it is not nice to go to different www sites to check different calendars. (cycling running etc ) Option is to make it a Google calendar http://www.google.com/calendar/render http://www.google.com/googlecalendar/event_publisher_guide.html One can the overlay it on your personal Google Calendar, or even overlay it in Outlook etc "Google Calendar Sync" - but not public calendars yet. http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=98563 RemoteCalendars is a COM-.NET Add-in for Outlook 2003/2007 https://sourceforge.net/projects/remotecalendars/ Display your Google Calendar in Windows Calendar (Windows Vista includes a built-in calendar application ) http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/display-your-google-calendar-in-windows-calendar/

The same reasoning used on Kimmage can be applied on the people that supplied Ricco & other TdF confirmed dopers. I believe that there are doping, but not everyone. If one can create the believe that everyone dope, then the doping market and supply routes stay lucrative...

Anyone with infuence to help make the big blue company in Belville more commuter friendly?

http://www.songo.info/ "The track is now complete - it has been ?rolled? and is ready to rock! Stellenbosch has had some bad weather forecasted over the weekend, so we will probably only be able to get out there next week and give the track a go." Where is the actual track/construction site?

I know that silver Renault - belong to the local vet. Must had been doing his cow rounds that morning...

Just taking a dig at you, I admit, I'm jealous

Probably not difficult with Monaco's size, but if you look at Baden Cook and RH's addresses in Monaco - they are next door neighbours. I won't mind joining them - pity i dont have a decent sprint...

Thanks JB I would be interrested in bearings - will PM you my list. A practical problem I experienced was that if I fill the pedal with to much grease before I insert the axel - it pops out the rubber seal because it has to escape somewhere. (Had seen a car flywheel that was stucked removed with this same concept before) A good old grease nipple on the pedal would have been nice

Vir wie is dit BigH? Ek het nog niks ontvang nie, maar as dit nog op pad is baie dankie

For me the only way to "feel" if the MTB pedal bearings are fine is to take it out of the cranks and spin the axel by hand. Now obviously this dont happen to often, but so it did tonight on the 6 month old set.... The Lefty was clearly already in trouble, but Mr Right was still fine. So I opened both sides, cleaned and re-packed. (Not a quick task with those small bearings, so there was heavy discussions between me and the little buggers) But I'm afraid that Lefty will never be new again with only grease replacement. Since 6 months was clearly to long and the tech pdf doc "SI-41R0F" on Shimano state only "If you experience any trouble with the rotating parts of the pedal, the pedal may require adjustment. Obtain advice from a professional dealer." For me that say open only when you feel something wrong, but then it might be to late... So: How often do one check your MTB pedal by spinning it? How often should they be re-packed? Should i have left Mr Right closed because I dont "feel" problems? Thanksstraatvark2008-07-01 14:55:03

Thicker is safer - believe me you dont want to come down at 70km/h after a cateye jumped in front of you. If you are not a racing tandem, dont safe weight
