    Cockroach on a plate lined with gold trim. Sparks set off and kill the roach. Good times.

    D'oh

    Remember, riding a bike is just that -- turning pedals, whether you're flying down a hill, or cruising on hot asphalt for unlimited miles. Get on your stationary trainer (if you can) and spin those legs!!

    Pressing in sealed headsets

    Ensure that the tool doesn't contact the actual bearing - but merely presses the outside diameter of the cup instead. You could use the tool to press on the inside diameter of the cup, but it may damage the headset. Also face your head tube, if it's not done already...good luck!

    Cutting Carbon Bars??

    Sure, bar ends are fine. Just don't use them on riser bars - that just looks silly. ;) By the by, while cutting carbon stuff, don't inhale the dust. We've been warned that the dust is worse than solvents. :monkey:

    Slipping seatpost...

    IF it is the right size, try 'knurling' the post. Knurling involves displacing some material to essentially give it a larger diameter, much like a stem/handlebar interface.

    Tips on Grips

    Methyl Hydrate works great, and evaporates quickly. Hairspray does the trick, but it stinks! WD-40 also works, but it does leave a residue that causes some grips to slide around... Try the lock-ons. They really are worth the price.

    Help getting Hayes to center.

    Your LBS may have the Magura tool to face the inside of the caliper mounting surfaces. This tool mounts in the dropouts, and removes paint from the disc tabs to a customized depth. You could file the frame/fork, but that is not very precise.:dead:

    Climbing gears?

    You're asking a couple of questions here. a) Depending on the climb (how long, % grade), you should settle into a rhythm, unless it's a short 'roller'. I've attacked in 53x16 up some humps, but that's with training. I prefer to spin in 39x21, and save my legs for the final sprint. b)...

    Famous Simpsons quotes

    Homer gazing at ceiling Homer: Oh God!! Why have you forsaken me? Marge: That's not God. That's a waffle that Bart threw up there. Homer pokes at waffle with broom handle, knocks it to the floor, picks it up, and eats it. Homer: Mmmmm...Sacralicious.

    Noise from Hayes Hydro lever

    The newly designed Hayes levers are a simpler design. Rev. Chuck is right - there's a piston with two rubber seals in there - contrary to older models of Hayes with a cartridge unit. The best lube for them would be the Dot fluid, just to be on the safe side. It is possible that you may have...

    You need to cycle across a country to attain the status of a cross country rider. I consider myself a cross-the-street rider. (XTS):D

    Tightening a cassette lockring...

    Sorry, yes I do, I've been doing it for many years. I've seen too many rear wheels with loose lockrings, causing rr der limits to be unreliable.
