In a message dated 8/1/2005 2:54:10 AM Central Standard Time, ... OK, glad to hear it is not just me having problems getting in. I was in a very bad mood when...
... This is why I keep checking these internet boards cause if I go through enough trash eventually find some good info like this. So simple and such a great...
I agree with Cletus...great technique! I could have used it this past weekend. I thoroughly inspected the tire, but could not locate the source of the...
... Actually, 'bikeolounger' should get the credit for bringing it up here. he reminded me and as I said in my post, I was taught this from a wizzened old...
My wizzened old cyclist was Tom Gray but I had so many delays on several century rides, I now carry a spare tire with a tube plus 2 extra tubes. I thought...
I'm beginning to plan a trip to the San Francisco area next month (Sept.). Anyone know if there's a bent club there? Also, I would like to do at least a brief...
My two cents worth is for long climbs 5miles - 15 miles the key is to pedal efficiently pulling on the handlebars is wasted energy. I prefer to push back into...
Good points Guy, but if I remember correctly, 'Scrunchy' was only suggesting the HB pulls for short climbs. It makes good sense that it wouldn't be a good idea...
Folks, Anyone know any tricks to repair a tube where the valve stem becomes delaminated from the rubber tube? I tried a little tire patch glue to no avail (not...
Hey John, I have just the trick for you. Take it to the shop you got it and tell them to give you a new one! I am not kidding. It sounds like a defective tube....
... Get a new tube. Seriously, in my 40 years of cycling I've never seen a successful repair of a tube that was damaged at the valve stem. It's not worth the...
... I agree with Dave. If as Jim Verheul suggests, the tube was somehow defective. Get it replaced. by the Mfg. If you used a frame pump and did not keep the...
I've got about a month experience on my Giro 26 and I'm getting comfortable enough that I'm starting to think about some clip system. I've never used clips...
... I can't address the pedal issue from the novice point of view, because I've been using clips for so many years it feels strange to me not to have them....
I was new to clips on my Giro and really enjoy my Eggbeaters as well. Tried a few others before settling on them. Very easy to get in and out of. Also the...
Hi Bill, I'm currently using Speedplay Frogs and like them alot. They have abundant free float which is good if you have knee issues. Easy clip in and the most...
Bill, Over the years I have tried, Ritchey spd's, Bebops and egg beaters. My vote goes to egg beaters. I have no reason to switch. Although I would consider...
I vote Eggbeaters as well. They aren't aerodynamic, but they're the lightest pedals around. Besides, bents with high bottom brackets ride feet forward, so I...
Just another opinion. Speedplay Frogs (Giro 20/26). I use Speedplay road pedals on my Corsa, but much prefer the Frogs for any kind of stopping conditions. For...
I knew the answer to this question before I asked, but I just had to ask anyway just in case... I don't use a frame pump on the Aero...floor pump before the...
Jim, Now I just have to remember where and when I bought it! I guess it's actually good news when you can't remember where you bought your last tube...that...
... I also have egg beaters, ant way you step in them you will click in. for tour and training get a pair of mountain bike shoes so you can walk around without...
... My favourite pedals are Bebops which I've been using since they became available in 1996. They are a very lightweight, elegant double sided design with 20...
I had three other types of clipless pedals before I switched to Bebops over six years ago. I will risk boring you with my experiences in the hope that it...
