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

What kind of crankset do you have? You can often use the ones with the big single bolt (SRAMs and FSAs, etc) to press the bearings back in to the frame, if you're careful. I wouldn't try it with something like the plastic Shimano preload nut, though.

Ride faster so the wind noise hides the creaking.

Since you need to take it to a shop at some point, try spraying the outside of both sides of the BB with something like Tri-Flow and see if that stops the squeaking. I've had it work for a while until I replaced bearings.

TBD. I'd imagine I should, but I'm all about working around problems until they cause me to wreck by seizing at high speed.

So my cycling mate (he is from Oz, so he really is a mate) has a shoulder separation, 3 non displaced rib fractures, and one thoracic vertebral compression fracture. I believe all these will heal with time. They want to keep him in the hospital overnight for observation and to get his pain controlled.

In 2000 I toured Andalucía for seven weeks. Very nice (except for the coast), but most of it is hilly. One day I was climbing a mountain pass when I got overtaken by a team out training. They seemed amazed that I was climbing with such a load. I asked one of the guys if he would ayudame con me*equipaje (help me with my luggage). He laughed and politely declined. Then they dropped me.

And you didn't take the opportunity to wrench his shoulder in to place like in the movies?

Gotcha, I've never had an external BB (that sound you hear is Seed's head exploding) so I'm not familiar with best practice on replacing just bearings vs the whole shootin' match.

That's right. Your flora can change over time, due to diet, but especially antibiotics.

Can the genes in your organs change? I don't know. Maybe, but not nearly as easily, from my crude understanding of biology.

If you have little more confidence that a drug the doctor is giving you will work than if she ground up her garden weeds and made a concoction out of it, then you're in witch doctor territory.

I don't have a waste disposal issue so it's not needed.

But I do have an interest in gut bacteria because there's a good chance it's somehow linked to RA. So every now and then I read a bit about it or watch a YouTube to see if they're making headway in research. Medical science might make real headway on a number of ailments if they can ever figure out what in your gut effects your immune system.

But sadly, this will probably not happen for years.
