I ordered my tire liners from Nashbar today. Those tubes are costing me a fortune! <br><br>Another question: where's the cheapest place to buy CO2 cartiges or...
I'm confused. Tire liners aren't tubes - at least mine weren't. And, yes, they are pricey. I think mine were ten bucks. But why do you want co2? Is this ...
I think the liners go inside the tire before you put the tube inside. I'll 'knock on wood', but I've been riding about 250 miles per month for the last three...
Had my first flat in three years while riding home yesterday. What a way to end the day! Here's a tip when you have to fix your tire- Pump a bit of air into it...
Don't you just hate flat tires? I always keep a spare tube and some 'tire irons' in my backpack.....because one day I took off on my bike and went 32 miles and...
Hello all!! As a bicycle messenger, I beat the heck out of my bike. I've gone through two bottom brackets, 10 spokes and 8 tires since December!! I can't ...
Yes! Referrals are nice, too. When I moved to Fresno, I was told by an old, wise, experienced, cyclist just what bike shop I should be doing business with. A ...
I need help solving a problen as I commute to and from work all year, and I have just moved to CT and they use salt to clear the roads in the winter. I don't...
We don't get a lot of salty roads here in California, but I'm very picky about the cleanliness of my bike. Especially now that I take it up the elevator to my...
oops- i changed my mind- i have no advice.<br>if you find something that works, post it and let everyone else know.<br>what about applying spray on bike wax to...
Since I've moved to Fresno, I've had to contend with some very bad roads. What may seem like just a few little bumps to a car, can mean dumping your bike if...
who built your wheel: a better question- was it a machine or did the shop laboriously hand build the present wheelset? Ti spokes are not necessary- SS spokes ...
I had to buy the liners to save money on tubes, because I was getting a thorn about every other day. I've been having bad luck with patches lately, so I...
Alas! I have machine built wheels. They are sun rims (M1311), and I'm told they are okay. The spokes are breaking on the drive side, right at the hub. A few...
The front rim undergoes soooo much less stress than the rear wheel and there's no reason to get a bomb-proof front wheel. The rear wheel however is a different...
Hey! Mr. Glennboulder, thanks for your input. I didn't think I'd really need a super duper front wheel, but I think I'll start saving my quarters for a new ...
Yes sun M13II's are stout rims. Sun does make their Rhyno lite in a 700c, and some other Mtn bike rims in 700c too (CR18, O degree series). I have not heard a...
hey all, thanks for the tips on spokes, I'm on my<br>way home tonight and will stop by the shop to get one fixed....again.<br>I've been commuting 12 miles...
Hi, I'm Mike's (Dolo724) "better half". And yeah, Arwyn is my real name.<br><br>OK, yeah, we sold our car in Jan 98 and purchased good bikes for the whole ...
Anyone have any good motorist rage stories?<br><br>In my part of the world (SF Bay Area) crazed motorists get particularly indignant when they encounter ...
You all sound like the coolest family!! I salute you for having what it takes to simplify your lives with bicycles and live better!! My life is very similar...
Ahh.. The Bay area, so well known as the "birthplace" of the mountain bike and the locus of 'bike kulture' but there are so many millions of the majority who...
I think the government should get more involved in biking. Why can't mail deliverers use bikes to deliver mail? Maybe that's just too fast and efficient for...
I encounter all the same things on a daily basis too, and am hard up for an answer. Several times a week I am screamed at to "get on the sidewalk where I ...
By the way, I posted two new photos in the photo section. Just showing off my bicycle trailer hard at work again. This time hauling music gear and stuff to a...
