openmind Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Ok, back to the topic 1. Use a torque wrench 2. Don't drip lube into cable casings. It pulls dirt in and gums them up. 3. Don't try to adjust an old-school cantilever brake unless you absolutely have to - you need at least three hands for this and a free afternoon, possibly even a whole weekend. 4. It is not physically possible to set an Ultegra 11sp front derailleur without it rubbing in at least three gears. 5. The best way to get sealant in a tyre is with a little 60ml Stans bottle through the valve. 6. Leave suspension services and wheel building to the experts I'll add more if I think of them.

You just need practice and the force to be with you5. I use a large (as in very large) syringe to fill up via the valve6.1 Suspension is not rocket science6.2 A really good wheel build is rocket science hboli4, BikeisLife, MORNE and 3 others 6

You will do it once...then realise you could have done it better...and then mess up the lengths of the hoses/housings and redo it, just to realise that you could have done it better....

MORNE Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 The only veganesque comment That belongs on this thread, could be about somebody who uses vegetable oil to lube their chain.olive oil is a surprisingly good lube...on bicycles too jokes aside, i've applied a drop of olive oil to external rusty gate locks and they have been flawless for nearly 2 years.

Josh_the. Man Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 go check out a guy on Instagram called jamessmithpt, he does a review of this movie that is pretty damn good! Here is a linkhttps://www.instagram.com/tv/B3I7_SugTZb/?igshid=1dvkqguls0bn4 I'm sure there are a few successful vegan athletes in all sports, but 95% of Olympic medalists aren't vegan! And I'm pretty sure their genetics are what got them to the Olympics more than their diet! Good on vegans for not eating animals, I'm just not going to join you, no matter how many biased stories get posted or movies made by those supporting the vegan movement. The guy didn't even mention some of the most important aspects. He didn't even mention how foggy your bloods plasma was when eating meat compared to not eating meat. He did talk about the Penis thing but the study cleary showed that your boners are more erected at night time than meat-eaters boners...
