Almost sounds like something from my "Strine" book, 'cept a bit more Groundskeeper Willie to it.

I've ditched all the fancy lubes.
The Singer goes on thinner, is not tacky AT ALL, and therefore picks up heaps less gunk.

motor oil and mineral spirits mixture is just as good, lots of that in $20. And I can whip out a few pairs of pants in a day with no snagging, easy !

officially ...22 laps of the 13.1 kilometer loop for 288 total kilometers...
? the Adrenalin website said it was a 15.9km loop, ok, so he's not THAT good.

well, I'm no expert, so don't go changing your whole lube philosophy based on my recommendations
, but....I did actually drop a little on the brake pivots on my older brakes.

Aussi, my lube philosphy is to drown everything in WD40 and then wipe off when it soaks in. This includes the chain! Given this, I reckon anything more scientific will be an improvement.

How's this for Big Brother - So I was recently put on 'probabtion' on the Serotta forums for mentioning in the line of conversation the price of one of my frames. *gasp* What this entails is that you can still post, but they review your post before letting it go through.
What they don't tell you is that....they don't review you posts. They never appear, effectively banning you anyway...or they only review your posts during business hours, which is pointless anyway as we don't opperate on US time and most posting happens after hours.
Now, I don't mind a slap on the wrist. I push boundaries coz that's what they're for, and owning a small company and running it on the smell of an oily rag means you have to go guerilla, but this is plain juvenile and fascist. At the very least they could've just PM'd me and said 'fair go mate' and I would've said 'fair call, I'll tone it down'.
But no, that would've been adult.
Isn't the Interweb fun?

WD40 is not real good, I find it washes $#!+ into the chain.
...and while you're sewing stuff run me up a coupla jerseys, size large, tanx.

just thought I'd introduce myself to all the boys and girls in OZ
I have been in Sydney for 2 months now and recently joined NSCC and have started racing in the local events
its a blast and everyone is really nice
Sydney and AUS is great....and I'm here until Jan. over from San Diego, CA
Sydney is probably the most liveable city for me over NY and San Francisco although I love both those cities for their own reasons.....
anyways
I'm James
I ride a 05 TCR 1 w/ an Ultegra crank not FSA
