Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I read it all the way through, when I came on board a little over a year ago.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you observe a clattering noise coming from the bottom bracket that sounds like bad bearings, before investing in new bearings/cups and tearing the old assembly one apart to replace it, check that the chain catcher hasn't shifted so that it is fouling on the back of the chain ring bolts.

Jus' sayin'.
What's a chain catcher?

Is it required reading? I don't think I can manage the 600+ pages. Kudos to you I think.

2nd day of summer and it got to 30P today. I went and hid in an air-conditioned mall and did some Christmas and some grocery shopping.

If you scroll past pcad replying to himself, it's actually pretty do-able.
