It's only good for a couple of rain days. Around here you don't have to wait long for a couple of rain days, then you gotta wash, wipe and lube.
Fair weather cyclists are on a different schedule. |
quoting you from another thread...

I've never used regular Paselas so I'm not really sure.

Okay, just double checking.

Scrod,
Overhaul the bearings in my rear hub to get ready for the snow (the wheel has seen a couple thousand miles and is overall pretty muffed up on top of this) or save a little extra cash and build up a new rear wheel? Thanks! |

My 25c Pasela TGs measure 23.7 mm on my digital caliper. It's weird that the standard Pasela would differ so much in size.

Dear god. As an astrophysics major (and a human being with any amount of logic whatsoever), I think this is one of the more infuriating websites I've ever seen.

Cold Fusions aren't even rebadged Fusions. They are Fusions. I bought a pair from IRO and they arrived in original Velocity packaging. The only thing that said "IRO" was the shipping invoice.

Getting in touch with IRO is absolutely stupid.

An Alex DA16 laced to some no-name hub, probably just an unbranded formula, or something along those lines. If I went the route of a new wheel I think I'd either a) go smart and economical (kinlin/novatec), or b) get a second cxp33 to complete the wheelset. Interested to see what you think more though, obviously

Word. Thanks Scrod.

The factory "lube" on most chains is only present to keep them from corroding in the packaging and will dry out very quickly once the chain is being used. You should clean that crap off and reapply real lube ASAP.
