And make the HOV right-lane the width of two regular lanes; like Don Mills!

I went and saw the 'scorchers to alleycats' exhibit at the st. lawrence market today. It was a good little show; I didn't realize how much of a history of cycling Toronto has... Some absolutely pristine and beatiful century plus old bikes there too. I used to think that people who buy colnagos, De Rosas, Cinellis etc. to mothball in the closet were evil... but I never would have seen these bikes today had someone not done that exact thing. In 100 years we will be glad nobody rode them into the ground.

Hey guys is there an easy way of microadjusting the chainline? Chain noise is driving me nuts!!

You could flip the cog over, or mount the chainring on the other side of the spider or if the bike has an adjustable bb you could play with that. Other than that I guess just mess around with chain tension. I had what I thought was a noisy chainline once and I replaced the chain without touching the chainline and the sound disappeared.

if it's too far outboard of the cog try cinching down the crank bolts just a little. or simply loosen the chain a little, throw a little lube on there.

if you have space on the hub threads, a spacer on the inside of the cog may do the trick too. there's always changing out the BB...

operator 06-21-06 03:22 PM

Well ok, i just lubed it otherwise i'm going to bug keith about a spacer tomorrow

if your getting a laptop that a company is not paying for then the mac is totally the right place to go. Especially if you have any sort of student card, that knocks 10-15% off the price at any of the corporate stores.

True, but it was tasty cat, with chives on a plain bun. My hands were pretty greasy after that; I was thinking of maybe using the sauce they had to lube my chain.
