This was posted on a recumbent club: "bought the<br>cooler-trailer once, would never buy another bob product. the wheel was pure china-trash(resin-mag wheel)...
I ran into a couple that owned a bike shop that was doing a 3000 mile trip using BOB's and swear by them. Their trip had already included the continental ...
BOBs rock! I have used mine extensively and I used to commute with it around Vernon Hills, Lake Forest, Libertyville, etc. Sturdy manufacturing and flawless...
Just a note that may help some of you...I've been using semi-slick tires lately and have not had one flat. I think the complete lack of tread leaves no spaces...
Cool Marc!!!<br> Just the kind of motivation I've been waiting for. I have had a pair of slicks hanging on the wall in the garage for about 4 months wondering...
Agreed! I, too, commute on slicks (no "semi-" about it, they are slick!) and don't get flats. But even when I was commuting on knobbies, I didn't get ...
Owing to circumstances, namely splitting with my partner and losing my job within a month of each other, my car has just been re-possessed by the finance ...
Congratulations Nigel!!!!! Car free is quite a big step, one day I also want to to join those ranks keep us posted on how it goes. ladyarwyn has figured out...
How timely is this! I feel as if I've been cursed by the gods of flat tires. I've had three in three weeks on the rear wheel of my commuter bike. Before this...
I can tell you what happened today! I picked my son Ethan up from nursery at 5.00pm then we rode down to the local Christmas tree place. We got plenty of ...
I alsojoined the car free ranks last week. My girlfreind wrecked our car and I don'twant to spend the money to fix it! I need to find a trailer, tho. The old ...
I have figured out how to keep myself warm and dry in the winter weather, But the old Raliegh is getting pretty messy. Any suggestions on bike cleaning? I just...
Rick, I usually let the grunge build up all winter on mine. I do have a Park Chain scrubber that I use about twice a month because of rock salt and mud from...
If you want to be able to ride your bike next winter too clean it as well as you can. I found a spray bottle to be very helpful in de-salination. Armor-all ...
Rick, the BOB YAK Trailers pretty nifty for shopping as well as touring and stuff. The darn thing pivots left and right, pivots on the axle and because it's a...
Thank for the ideas! I have been using car wax on the frame to give it some protection, but never thought about the spray bottle. I'm a firm believer that the...
Last winter as soon as I got my bike into the basement(I know, lucky me to have a basement) it went onto repair stand, got spritzed down with spray bottle,...
Agreed. Citrus degreaser in a spritz bottle works well for me. It's available in bulk at the local restaurant supply. Instead of the basement (which I don't ...
Anyone know if anyone makes a water-bottle cage 'specially for mtb's/atb's? What I'm thinking of is a cage that slings down toward the bottom bracket, allowing...
Just a thought.....drill a couple new holes to put the cage where you want it. Kinda risky, but it'd work. Also, what about those duel waterbottle holders that...
I made a "thermos cage" once from a length of quarter inch aluminum rod that I picked up at the local ACE hardware. Just copy the bends from another cage ...
Had a fantastic Christmas!!! Got a new pair of winter riding tights from Performance, and some new base layer long sleeve wicking t shirts, and last but not ...
