Putting the curse on now- but mostly get flats on the front

Tip from my LBS- wipe the tyres clean after each ride and look for the thorn- Flint or glass that is on the tyre- prise it out before it penetrates the rubber and the tube.

Noise in some gears is probably some adjustment necessary due to cable stretch---Unless you are crosschaining (Haven't heard from him lately Either)

And cleaning the chain- I use a chain cleaning device and about every 100 miles or so- I clean the chain. After every ride I wipe the chain with a cloth aswell and I use a "Dry" chain oil- Unless its raining and then I clean the chain after every wet ride.
