rouxtjie Posted October 9, 2014 Share +1. If you know the basics, reading a 91 page book will burn a few hours of your life that you will never get back. I'll rather watch Liptstiek Dipstiek for the 144th time.Watching lipstiek dipstiek is never wasting time... Juffrou GOUWSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Showtime Posted October 9, 2014 Share I know right....its a consumable on a bike, if its moeg you replace, what more do you need to know ... but if you can convince yourself that you're the only one who knows anything a little knowledge goes very far.

Wyatt Earp Posted October 9, 2014 Share I know right....its a consumable on a bike, if its moeg you replace, what more do you need to know Not really, you need to understand that it will take around 89 pages of describing the definition between stretch and elongate .Then two pages on how to measure a chain and replacing of chains and what types of chains you get (speed)Then the book is in and amongst millions of other e-books on Amazon that people publish where you can have anything from how the peel potatoes to how to murder your mother in law and dodge the forensics .

Rudi Pollard Posted October 9, 2014 Share 91 pages, really....about a chain A) when it breaks replace it B) get a tool to measure the wear(so you know when it is about to break) C) try run your chain with the least amount of flex, ie choose the right gear D) always lube, always clean E) know how to fit a quick link F) all of the above Let me find Portia my 5 year old quick to check if daddy got it right, Oh I'm a 100 kg buffalo and I have never had to fix a chain on the side of the road, and I commute I'm with you here. It really is not 91-page complicated to look after your chain. I would much rather use your half page logic as it has served me very well Edited October 9, 2014 by lapa Tumbleweed and DIPSLICK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted October 9, 2014 Share I really do hope he extrapolates it to cover everything on the modern bike. It could be a handy compendium a bit like Noakes' Lore of Running. So I foresee another book in the offing in some years admitting that what he first told you was all wrong...oh, wait, it's Bornman we're talking about, he's, like, never wrong... rouxtjie, DIPSLICK, Pants Boy and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plentipotential Posted October 9, 2014 Share If you think you measure chain wear with a chain checker tool you need to buy this book. I did not always agree with Johan but his lesson on how to check chain wear was spot on and has served me well. Saved me money also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
