    the only quasi-informative info i've found is http://bicyclingaustralia.com.au/2013/08/sram-type-2-overhaul?page=2 but since this isn't even 2yrs old, can i expect to need to rebuild/relube this every ~20 mos? is there any other preventative maint i can do, or a heavier/thicker lube that's...

    I am mechanically inept - need DirtyMike next door

    Tried to replace a very simple part in my wife's car tonight, the front passenger side motor mount of a 2004 Nissan Altima. Got everything except the last dead center bolt all done and gone. Managed to cross thread and sheer the head off the bolt. In the pic, you see a bolt, a center sheered...

    Made an impulse car purchase tonight.

    Might be one of my better ones. 1985 Nissan 720 4WD pickup. $400 can't really be wrong. Needs a few items, but nothing awful, plus it's a breeze to work on compared to the Porsche 944 I've been wrenching on for awhile. Anyone here have experience? Need to fix a couple more pressing...

    car guys - what's going on with my Mazda?

    I'll preface this post by saying I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to working on my car. I can do basic stuff like change headlight bulbs, replace the battery, install wiper blades, and change a flat, but that's about it. Got my oil changed about two weeks ago and the mechanic told...
