    Thinking of changing out some parts

    The cheaper models of 2:1 Shimano compatible gripshifters (Centara and MRX) are not 9 speed anyway, only the Attack is, and it is plenty durable.

    Thinking of changing out some parts

    The long cage derailleur takes up more chain. Since you are going to replace the big ring with a bash guard, you might as well get a medium cage since you won't need as long of a chain. Unless as MMcG points out, you get a Shimano compatible Gripshifer and keep your XT derailleur. Also, you...

    How to stop the Juicy Squeal?

    Are the rotor bolts properly torqued down? Often brake squeal can be caused by under/over or unevenly tightened bolts. Use a torque wrench and tighten them in 3 steps, 25in-lbs/40 in-lbs/55in-lbs. Also, how did you break them in? Try cleaning the rotors again (sand with 220 grit paper then use...

    Palmer Comeback

    Saw him after the podium at the SLO Jeep race talking to Lopes. Naturally the photographers saw a photo-op. It should be pretty funny whenever it makes print. Both shirts off, Lopes' six-pack vs. Palmer's pony keg (he was sticking the gut out for maximum effect).

    Contacts vs. Prescription Goggles???

    Check out www.sportsoptical.com They can grind your prescription into the full lens, much better than an insert. They also can do it with many different frames, in fact I got lenses installed in frames I allready had. I am very happy with mine.

    Will this work?

    No, it won't work. 16 tooth is the smallest that will fit a "normal" freewheel hub. Some flip-flop BMX hubs used to have a smaller diameter on one side (the flop side?) that allowed for the use of 14 or 15 tooth freewheels. There is a company called AC that has recently produced a 15 tooth that...

    Broke me pelvis

    When I saw him for my wrist, every time he compared the first xrays to the latest to check the progress, he'd he always made it a point to say, "That is a nasty break" while shaking his head.

    How can my wife build some confidence?

    Is she riding the same bike as before, or a different one? If it's a different one, check to see how well it fits. The better the fit, the more comfortable (both physically, and psychologically) she'll feel. A slightly shorter stem, or A taller bar can make a big difference in more technical...
