    Car hanging from Thomson stem

    Does anybody have that picture of a car hanging from a Thomson stem? I remember seeing it years ago, but I can't find it. Thanks

    dig cement

    20 feet behind my garage is a big cement hole. Perfect. Although, time is running out, as some goofball wants to fill it with water. My 20in is broken, so I had to use the Mountain Bicycle. The smooth cement coating hasn't been sprayed on yet, there is still rough edges and little cement...

    Johnons & Johnsons baby oil Vs. Mineral Oil

    DOT 5 fluid is different from DOT 3 and 4. DOT 5 is Silicone based and should only be used in brake system specifically set up for it(not any bicycle brakes). Dot 3 and 4 are Glycol based. Most cars use 3. The only difference is the boiling point. DOT 3 boils at 401 degrees, DOT 4 at 446...

    Anyone tried these pedals?

    I was actually thinking about that. I haven't tried those shoes, but if you can't get enough grip with plain old skate shoes on these pedals, I don't know what to tell you. As I said, I like really, really grippy pedals. I used to use super tenderizers with dry wall screws coming out about...

    Hayes Bleed troubleshooting

    Have a look at your pistons, do they seem crooked or really far out from the caliper halfs? Mine seem to seat awkward and not want to stay in when I reset them. I am hoping this is the problem and I should be able to find out once I have some time to get back to the bike.

    Anyone tried these pedals?

    I have some. They are almost too grippy, and I like really grippy pedals. Takes a few runs to figure out how to adjust your feet. The pins are very tall. Light too, they weigh about the same as pdmx30's according to the scale at work.

    Hayes Bleed troubleshooting

    No, it isn't the pads, I have tried two pairs with the same results. I picked up a new transfer port seal, two new pistons and seals, and also new lever pivot bushings. I am going to stop and grab yet another bottle of brake fluid, split the caliper in two and go at it again. I have a...

    Sunday Chainstay....

    Ahahaha I noticed that at the Open. You could tell if an m3 or v10 was coming, just by listening.

    Hayes Bleed troubleshooting

    I installed the lever from my other brake, and put three or four bleeds into it. Checked the whole system again and cleaned it all up. It has a slight bit more power, with amazing modulation and yet, still feels like total crap. Still not nearly enough power and the feel is still soft, but...

    Hayes Bleed troubleshooting

    The adjustment screw shouldn't make any difference, it just spins. I have done everything possible as far as tapping and shaking the line, and there is so many bleeds into it, I can't imagine there is still a bubble in there. I need to shorten the line on my other brake anyway, so I...

    Hayes Bleed troubleshooting

    Last week at Diablo my front brake had no power, so I bled it, cleaned the pads and rotor and still, no power. Once I got home, I installed new goodridge lines front and rear, also new pads and a new rotor in the front. Back brake is a Hayes Purple with the G1 caliper and it worked fine before...
