Hello!

I'm going to visit and stay in Tasmania (Australia) in a few days and wanted to try to make my first bamboo bike there since in Greece we don't have this extraordinary material.

So I'd...

Well done man! Just grab a copy of 'Zinn & the Art of Road Bike Maintenance' and 'Zinn & the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance' . You'll be thanking me every day ;)

Sometimes I don't have much to ask or say :) Also lately I have huge troubles to deal with and my brain just shuts down in the evenings/nights (free time for posting).

Bike hack is a DIY way to...

Bike friday! It's my dream folding bike! I want to get one so I can have proper holidays :D How come and you use a folding bike?

Hello!

My main bike is full of hacks and I love that about it, it feels mine! And it's special and it really serves its purpose in life in the best possible way! The latest one are the fenders...

Can't you simulate that with a big nut or something?

Thanks a lot for your answers, it really made it clear to me. What about dropouts alignment? Why cant I use rod and nuts? The special tool is so damn expensive

Hello!

Do you have any experience with cold setting, any advice? What should I be careful about? Is it risky?

Thanks:)

Hello guys!
My little niece (she is 6) left a little note on my desk before she left to Australia (her father is from there). The note says in very very incorrect spelling "Moe, I love you very...

The only problem is not the hearing but the distraction, because your brain instead of being focus 100% on the road is trying to comprehend and imagine what the narrator says. That's my only concern.

Excellent idea! I just created a new thread for that :D

It's arsprod's idea from what's your way not get bored on the same route? thread.

Althought I haven't tried anything audible while cycling, I have been listening to the Ricky Gervais Show quite...

This forum got some very insightful people, its amazing. Very refreshing responses! But, it really amazes me how most people here listening to stuff while cycling! I have been commuting for 10 years...

xenologer good question! I've read about many cases that by clinch it down on the rack the shocks of the bumps will destroy the lock within a year. And some cold day you're going to open the lock and...

I guess the problem with the earplugs is not that they block the external sounds but rather that they distract your attention. You can watch a very informative documentary about brains and...

I have to go to work every day on a 7km route and I'm starting to get really bored just thinking about. I can go to alternative routers but most of them are longer and not so safe. I could also wear...

Hello!

I’ve heard a lot about this problem with the U-locks. Their mounts are verycheap plastic and they end up useless after some rides. So I came up with this solution for my girlfriend’s bike...

Phil_Gretz, Unfortunately no :( I had the chance one day to get them but for some reason I didnt...


ThermionicScott, ofcourse it has fresh pads, only museum bicycles have old pads.

Why do you...

Very interesting responses, really! Thanks for your input!

The bikes are: an early 70's Legnano Corsa, late 70's Mercier tour de france, and an other early 80's pegeaut for which I don't have much...

Every road bike I've tried seems to have weak break calibers. Is this because the brake pads are smaller?

The bastard fooled me and sold me useless shifters, I can't believe it :(

FBinNY, thanks. I thought these were good, that's why I bought them to replace my cheap looking sunrace shifters (which...

Generally, it's a wonderful patent, I love them, so elegant, simple and effective.

Wow, Retrofriction ones are so damn expensive! My humble old road bike wouldn't agree to wear those!

EDIT:...

Check out the pics. Those metal rings (the inner ones are glued on) connect and make a hole that the brake wire go through. Unfortunately the left ones are broken (I can't understand how that...

I prefer this beer :roflmao2:
