See the ride schedule for details.

BUT, if you do plan to attend, email me at jkeenan0407 AT yahoo DOT
com and let me know if you're doing the 25 mile or 62 mile ride.

Why?  Cuz if no one issa gonna come onna down, I be leaving at 5:30
a.m. instead of 7:45 a.m. :)

Dan,

Cool. Computer magnets? Is that what comes with those little wristwatch-looking speedos these days? Can those little speedos go on a 20" or 26" wheel?

    Yes. You don't need magnets...all ya need is some 1/16" solder. Spin your wheel. the heavy side will seek the bottom. Put a half inch of solder wrapped around a spoke directly opposit the bottom.

 

Does the length of the wheel "cage" on a derailer have any relationship to how strong the spring is? In other words, longer cage, stronger spring and vise versa?

You're really diggin, Dan

 

Cheers,

Some of us love "tech talk". The reflectors are mostly to keep you safe at night. I don't think a bicycle wheel, generally, turns fast enough to make balance a problem. They do add a few grams though.

Feet first,

Do you folks ever discuss technical things?

 

I was wondering if those spoke reflectors actually contribute anything regarding weight and balancing of the wheel. It seems to me that a lonely tire valve would put the wheel off balance some.

My wife and I had the pleasure of attending the 3-day portion of the
Florida Bike Safari in Live Oak last weekend.  Beautiful country, some
rolling terrain (huff, puff), good food, great bunch of people.
Nearly 400 attended with 64 volunteers assisting.  This event was
exceptionally well organized and the weather was perfect.  We stopped
on the way home and rode from Inverness to Trilby on the Withlacoochee
Trail.

It was a great long weekend.  I recommend anyone giving this ride
serious consideration.

It's very well organized and well attended...I rode in it last year.

Dan I actually use computer magnets to balance my wheels and have a post about it at my EZ Biker blog site . Does it make a difference? WELL I think so as my mph averages seems to be 2 to 3 miles better.  Of course it might just be one of those things that only works for you mentally. BUT HEY, I'll take all the help I canget mentally or otherwise to catch those milage kings ahead of me at bike Journal!

Hey Fla George!

    Hopefully you're out there in email land. On our last ride you mentioned a Shimano rear derailluer you like real well. 'Course I forgot already. Was it an XT? Refresh my  memory if you would. Thanks.......Mark  ""Yes, the Shimano XT or LX long reach work well. I also like the SRAM X.0.

and LMAO

Hehe.. You have to translate that stuff. Here's a guide.


Cyclists are the biggest sandbaggers and secret trainers around.
They'll say anything to soften you up for the kill. Don't let this
happen to you. Study this handy rider's phrasebook to find out what
they really mean when they say:

"I'm out of shape"
Translation: I ride 400 miles a week and haven't missed a day since
the Ford administration. I replace my 11-tooth cog more often than
you wash your shorts. My body fat percentage is lower than your
mortgage rate.

"I'm not into competition. I'm just riding to stay in shape"
Translation: I will attack until you collapse in the gutter, babbling
and whimpering. I will win the line sprint if I have to force you into
oncoming traffic. I will crest this hill first if I have to grab your
seat post, and spray energy drink in your eyes.

"I'm on my beater bike"
Translation: I had this baby custom-made in Tuscany using titanium
blessed by the Pope. I took it to a wind tunnel and it disappeared. It
weighs less than a fart and costs more than a divorce.

"It's not that hilly"
Translation: This climb lasts longer than a presidential campaign. Be
careful on the steep sections or you'll fall over -- backward. You
have a 39x23 low gear? Here's the name of my knee surgeon.

"You're doing great, honey"
Translation: Yo, lard ass, I'd like to get home before midnight. This
is what you get for spending the winter decorating and eating
chocolate. I shoulda married that cute Cat 1 racer when I had the
chance.

"This is a no-drop ride"
Translation: I'll need an article of your clothing for the
search-and-rescue dogs.

"It's not that far"
Translation: Bring your passport

Right you are. That is why I said.... be afraid... be vvvveeeeeery afraid!

Our "firewall" is up but it is not foolproof. I agree that this message should

Eldon,

This forum is not the place for this sort of post.  You probably have
some kind of group mail list set up for sending this sort of thing
out.  If so, remove SFRR from that group list.  At that size, it is
effectively a mail bomb and should not be sent to any forum list
(unless it's a religious list where they might want that type of
post).

Thanks.
