^ You could buy shoes like the ones you linked to or if you haven't already opened them just return the pads and get the combined shoes/cartridge because they're usually dirt cheap.

^^Thanks TejanoTrackie, I do plan to take these wheels to the shop when I get around to it. The shop I trust the most to handle that sort of stuff is pretty far so I was just wondering if it would be an issue for regular riding, which it doesn't seem to be.

grab the shoes koolstop makes, i just replaced the same thing on one of my bikes. was only like $40 for the whole schpiel and now i have all these points of adjustment i didnt have before. plus those pads are only $7 to replace, great deal down the line

hardboiled718 and Mumonkan,

thanks a bunch for helping out - just grabbed a road pack from eBay, which hopefully will work out just fine.

Best way to get the Oury grips to stop moving?

I think I might jsut ditch them and get some lock on grips.

I just dab a small amount of Weldwood contact cement on the bar before installing them, which seems to keep them from moving.

I always install them using WD40. Once it soaks into the rubber inside the grip, it's like they're glued on.

Lock On FTW.

Zero mess and they feel welded in place.

Thanks guys, I took them off today and slid them back on and now the left one is stuck on pretty well but the right is still lose near the end. I might try some wd-40 since I have that readily available.

We'll keep them for a bit before switching to the lock on ones.

hairspray. dries overnight and acts as an adhesive.
or use esi grips...!

We use hairspray in the shop. Though lock-ons are so much more better especially the Ergon or Mano grips a nice relaxed grip is way more comfy plus give you better blood flow.

Anyone awake and bored and want to help me troubleshoot a sealed hub wheel issue I'm having?

+1 (I live in a house full of girls)

I'm sleeping.

I'm awake, but I'm not bored.

Windsor Hour peeps, what size tires are you running? I'm wondering if I could fit a 32 or bigger on mine? I'm not running fenders or anything.

If I did a wider tire, I'd probably have to get new wheels too, huh?

I always used spray deoderant back in the day. Worked great.

For what its worth, the grips are now on super tight, all set with those.

And I did some searching and found where someone put 28s on their hour.

You could always measure.

There's always that. Actually, I will probably will do that this weekend, I was just looking at bike parts today while I was at work and was being impatient.

Probably overthinking this but just curious...

I took off my chain to clean and remove a few links, when putting it back together the pin must have gotten squeezed and came through with a really sharp burr. It's connected and works fine so I'm not going to change it, but just wondering has anyone else experienced this? It's the first time I've connected a chain and had this happen.

If it helps I'm using an Izumi standard chain, it's about a year old and fairly stretched. Thinking maybe between the stretch and not connecting the original links caused some unevenness?

Just replace it.

The age of a chain is measured in miles, not years.

But yeah, just replace it.

scrod ... friend of mine is offering his viner 80s track bike + $100 cash for my landshark time shark. yay or nay

Why is this a question for me? Do you think it's a good deal?

edit: I just saw the pic of your Landshark in the 'Today I' thread. Get rid of that wonky thing.
