Hi, I just got a P58, and am building it up now, but I'm stuck on the seatpost binder bolt (?!) Took the frame to the hardware store and found some bolts that...
If it's at all like D58, then the frame isn't threaded. You need to go down to your LBS and ask for a 'road' binder bolt. I don't know if there's a keyway on...
I have a technical question for you folks. On my mountain bike turned commuter I am replacing the drive train (long overdue). I would like to do away with my...
Actually, what you're proposing sounds like what I would do. The front derailer doesn't serve a tensioning function, but it can serve as a kind of guide....
I recommend a chainring designed for single speeding, that is, without ramps and pins, and with full symetric teeth. You might find that this will be enough...
You shouldn't need a front derailleur on a single chainring drivetrain. In the old days lots of bikes had rear derailleurs only. Take the front derailleur off...
... Yes, that works well. The other option is to get a new middle ring with very tall teeth (one meant for single speed use) and the chain shouldn't derail as...
... I use the leave on the front deraileur method of keeping my chain in place. My cross bike used to be asingle ring setup and the FD method always worked...
... The middle ring on an old Shimano 600 triple has tall teeth. The middle ring on modern cranks have little short teeth that are designed to derail chains...
OK, thanks. Now I'll know better than to give advice on the P-series! :-o _____ From: Scott Paris [mailto:sparis145149@...] Sent: Saturday, December...

Hey guys and gals, have any of you ever delt with this? I downloaded an article about leg, knee and hip pain from cycling tips .com. It suggests moving the...
I recommend you see an ostepath. "Home" remedies could make it much worse. He'll most likely prescribe some simple exercises you could do at home, but I...
... Hmmm... I've always been a clips and straps man, myself. It has been my experience that the body knows how to find comfort and will naturally go there. ...

I had a severe case of this about 9 months ago. I literally could not ride two blocks. I was scared my cycling days were over, but I found a cycling...
I finally caught up with my bicycle-riding, physical therapist mom and asked her about knee pain and cycling. Here's her advice: be sure that your leg is fully...
thanks guys for your advice. i'm going to talk to a cycling ortho. it sounds as if i need to adjust my position more than anything. and do better stretching...
Hi. I found a source for woolen jerseys. They'd be about $75 for plain and $100 w/ an embroidered 'Kogswell'. I'm thinking grey with a black stripe: ...
... What kind of wool and is it machine washable? I think something in the Kogswell Kustard would be really nice. A little brighter than the grey and an...
Yes ,I'd be interested if the wool is of good quality like the bike.............Milt matthewgrimm <matthewgrimm@...> wrote: Hi. I found a source for...

Matthew, Yes, I like wool jerseys. But I don't think I'd order a gray one. Gray's the color of pavement and blends in way too much. A bright yellow or orange...
