sorry for the bandwidth...

I'm looking to reach folks that ride a Schwinn Rocket 88 full
suspension MTB.  If you or a friend ride a Rocket 88, come by
http://www.rocket88.us/ .  I'm just setting this up...

It's a bike specific user's group I'm trying to bootstrap, and I'm
looking for tips, photos, stories, etc.

Oh, yeah, if any one knows where to get a derraileur hanger for a
Schwinn Rocket 88, please let me know!

Hi,

   I dont have much experience with bikes and was looking at one. I
turned it upside down and spun the back wheel. There was a steady tick
tick tick sound(chain was stationary, I spun it backwards). The
salesman said the sound was good and that it meant the bearings were
running fine. The front wheel however was soundless.
Is it good/bad that the back wheel was making that noise?

Thanks

Vinayak

Hi there,

Hi there guys,

I am new to biking and have a few issues that you may be able to help
me with.

1.   The biggest problem I have is with the seat, I get server pain
after only a few minutes riding. I have changed my seat several times
but still get a butt chafing and also feel like I am sitting on and
iron bar. I tried a really big seat with extra padding but the
inhibited my leg movement. I also tried a small seat but that hurt
worse.

I have not bought bicycling shorts as yet but cannot believe that
shorts would make that much difference. Is that correct?

2.   The other issue is with my feet, I do have the correct position
for pedaling but I do get numbness in my feet, if I move my foot back
so the instep is on the pedal the numbness goes away but this limits
my range of movement for my stroke. Any thoughts?

3.   I also get numbness in my hands from time to time. I know this
sounds like I have a lot of physical problems, but I am in good
health and pretty fit. I am sure it is just my riding position and or
equipment. As I wish to continue riding I need to iron out these
issues.

Any help any of you guys can give would be appreciated.

Thanks

John

Subject: [bicycles] Cannondale Story

Dear Colleague:

Progressive Engineer, the online magazine covering the mid-Atlantic and northeast regions of the U.S., has recently posted a feature story on Cannondale that might be of interest.  The bicycle manufacturer has developed fat-tube aluminum bike frames and flexible manufacturing techniques, allowing it to prosper making everything in the U.S.  Focusing on R&D, Cannondale has developed its own mountain bike suspension systems and other components, most of which had previously been dominated by overseas companies.

You can see this at http://www.ProgressiveEngineer.com.  Thank you.

Excellent article. The Cannondale is a very good bike.
I have ridden one many miles, with virtually no
mechanical problems, and it was used when I got it. My
budget could not afford a TREK or other high-end bike.
The Cannondale did a great job.

Did anyone see Matt Wilhelm at the X-Games?  I missed it, and I'm
looking for a video copy of Matt's run.  I watched as much as I
could, but I missed flatland, and I am quite upset about it.  Anyway,
I own Matt's video, "Wanna Ride Flatland?", and it kicks ass.  I need
more footage of this guy!!!  I downloaded a couple of clips from
www.flatlandbike.com, but I need more!!!
Does anyone know where I can find footage?  Websites, maybe...

Hi,

I'm looking for a cross-usage bike. Today I looked at the Trek 7000
line. They were so heavy, but the rides were nice. I wish I could find
something that is as shock absorbing at the Trek 7000 line, but as
light-weight as some of the other ones I looked at. Does anyone have any
recommendations?

Thank you,
Valerie

Hello All,
I am new to this group so please excuse me. I was wondering if anyone
has ever heard of Barracuda Brand Bikes? They are big here in the UK
I guess. I just purchased a 2001 Matrix model that is a Full alloy
framed Full suspension bike with mid range Shimano Components
(Alivio) 24 speed, 36 Spoke Alex rims with Quad Hubs. Quad QMD3 160mm
Front disc, Shimano rear V brake. Kenda Kinetic 2.1 tires, Chilli 530
adjustable preload 80mm travel front forks, DNM adjustable pre load
rear shock with 3.75" travel, and a few other things I can think of
right now. It seems like a good midrange bike with lots of room to
grow and upgrade. I was skeptical at first thinking it was just
another department store bike but as I got looking I started to
notice things such as the Cartridge bearing hubs, replacable drop
outs, threadless headset, sealed bottom bracket. Has anyone else
heard of this brand? I bought this bike to replace a clapped out 7
year old rigid frame GT. Maybe this brand is something to watch. Now
to start upgrading. :) Thanks everyone.

Brad

Hello, my name is Katrina Pollack and I work for a national nonprofit
organization called Earth Force which works to motivate middle school
youth to make a difference in their communities and in their natural
environment.  Right now we are waging a national campaign to make
communities more bicycle-friendly.  We are encouraging middle school
youth to participate in the Bike-A-Mile Challenge which is simply to
organize kids to ride their bikes to school!  We hope that they will
learn how easy it is to travel around their community by bicycle and in
the process reduce pollution, save energy, prevent traffic congestion,
and promote youth leadership and environmental awareness.  I was
wondering if anyone on this list serv could take a few minutes to give
any suggestions on how to make more kids and teachers aware of this
campaign.  I would greatly appreciate your comments.

Thank you,
Katrina

Hey all,
I just purchased a cannondale mountain bike which came equipped with
"Caramba" cranks. Can anyone give me any info on this set? I am totally
unfamiliar with this make. Thanks for any info. Have a safe ride.

Bought a new seat off the web a week ago and have been riding it for a few days
now. I have to tell you its the greatest ride since sliced bread came around.
The company name is Air Bunz and their web site is www.airbunz.com
they have a 3 bladder air bag system with an on board pump to adjust the seat to
my own size and weight.

Worth checking out
