Simple but accurate explanation! Without Pawls, you would just spin the pedals w/o going anywhere!

pricepoint is the shiznit!! i ordered some stuff on sunday and voila! i came home to a big package today. me likey (have to wait for the stuff til chrstmas though-my wife made me promise)

sweer temptations under the tree. Take pics of how she wrapped it and take a quick peek:D
Don't forget to delete the pics when done wrapping;)

Purchased a bunch of cold weather gear at REI the other day: Novara leg warmers and skull cap and an Under Armor long sleeve form fitting coldgear shirt along with a Cateye EL500 headlight and rear blinker, clif bars (cool chocolate mint goodness), and finally an REI membership. :lol:

Then just yesterday since www.nashbar.com is having their "3-day 20% off on orders over $75 sale" i couldn't resist purchasing some Adidas Durango MTB shoes (yes for my road bike so i can start using it to commute and for my future plans to build a cyclocross bike), more lights (Cateye EL530 and LD1000 combo for $75), some Minoura mounts (swing grip and fork mount, gotta put the lights and computer somewhere), another jersey (i'm tired of having to constantly wash my single jersey), and a triathlon calendar for my brother in law (christmas gift). :D

I just got one of those Under Armour coldgear shirts, sweeeeeeet stuff.

Just picked up my bike from SCC. It received some TLC there... it's so shiny, sparkly pretty, it's purring! :love: Got some toe warmers while I was there, too. No more numb toes!!!! :D

I bought two dresses today...for the party...that counts as a cycling related purchase, doesn't it? :o

I wanna see!!! Where'd you go? You know, so we don't end up wearing the same thing like we usually do! :p

You wanna wear one of them? :p They're cute!

Are they the same? If so, no but thanks. :p But I want to see them. :D

What did they do? New bits? Or just a tune up?

Now why would I buy two identical dresses? :p

Different colors? :p

They're actually pretty similiar...lol!

No new bits. Just a tune up and a clean up. :D

woot!

So send me a pic already. :p

Patience, woman!

Okay...you have a pm. :)

Time to fix my son's Trek 3700.

I need a rear derailleur, hanger and chain. The derailleur that was on it is Shimano Acera. Do I just get that one again? Are hangers specific to the derailleur? What kind of chain? Help a clueless girl out, please. :o

I'll be the judge of the appropriateness of said dress.

It's been deemed inappropriate! I'll be shopping more tomorrow...this dress is being saved for Girls Night Out! :p

Acera is their lowest end Mt Bike deraileur. skip the Acera and go to a Deore LX. very inexpensive, and pretty good. You need not go to an XT or higher, the bike just isn't to that level.
At the same time put a new chain on!! ( the other chain is pretty much bombed out).

Who deemed it inappropriate? Tiff? What does she know? Post the pic here and let us decide.

I agree!!! Majority rules!!
