okok i just read that parallel thread .. sorry to jump the gun..

Kevin, get off your arse, put some air in your tires, and ride to the bike shop, no matter how far.. RIDE MAN, RIDE it!

Plan B? Take a trip to the library, youll be surprised what books you can find there on the subject of bike maintenance if you MUST learn to do this yourself.

good luck on your mission, weve done what we can here.
