My name is Michael Joseph King and when I first started using the internets I had a 97 Z28 6speed and I just kept the same screename and password so I didn't have to remember (and forget) many different nicks.

I am no troll, thank you. I'm just honestly trying to gather information so when I get a nice road 'touring' bike and take it off somewhere I will have the knowledge, and hopefully the right tools, to take care of myself and the bike.

btw, I'm considering the Navaro Randonee, Surly LHT and the closest lbs to me would have the Raleigh Sojourn.


Thank you all, I read the wiki page and I still don't understand how dry glue will bond, but I'll take ya'll's word for it and leave it at that.



Also, while I probably should be surfing the search function, I make a topic for things I don't know about or understand and when the time comes to go for a lengthy ride I will have an archive of usefullness, instead of trying to think of everything the week of the tour and forgetting to ask stuff I didn't know to ask until I'm in the middle of the desert with no cell service, between a rock and a hard place or up a fecal matter of a creek with no tool to play table tennis.



Maybe you've seen my other stupid questions aka, what a fender for, but this site is quite a cool place to learn and I'd be dumb not to use it to my advantage and maybe one day I can return the favor. And it might not be smart to write down every question I have then take the list to my lbs and be shown the door.

adios!
