My work in the bike industry was at one time at the top of the industry, but I got away from it. It is a very long story and not very interesting, but I am back here trying to help some young folks out. I do volunteer at a local co-op and do teaching there. For me it is fun to be here helping young mechanics out and trying to clarify the mysteries of bike mechanisms. I am currently on a break from my job as a Golf Professional which pays the bills, but I am still trying to stay in the bike world. Smiles, MH
There has been a few threads like this that have really helped me get to the bottom of an issue or give me a good foundation to step forward with something. So even though im not at your local co-op, it really is a helping hand!
My other pedal was not as lucky as the first. The balls seemed fine but the (second?) races on the medial(toward the center of the bike) side of the pedal had a ring burnt into them. They feel ok, I packed them and I’ll ride them as soon as my knee heals up. Hopefully very soon!
