I was discussing cycling with a friend of mine who, unfortunately, has more time to read about the sport than to actually participate in it. Concerning hand...
Hey Mike Having some similar issues myself, I have noted that the gloves or shape of the padding in the gloves or thickness on the bars and the road texture,...
Great points about 'cyclist's palsy'. Many of us probably have stories similar to tell. I have a pretty good article about Road Bike Fit (I'm not the author)...
The only bars I ever used that didn't trash my hands are the Albatross bars from Rivendell. You have to be fairly secure in your cycling manhood or womanhood...

On this morning's ride (28F.) I found that my Ultegra hub would not immediately re-engage after I coasted. If I started my pedalling slowly I had less...
Well, The real honest to God fix is to disassemble the hub cassette machanism, which is no small matter, and clean/regrease with a lower viscosity grease. ...

Or just pee on the hub. :>) I didn't think it was very cold this morning - I had to take my wind shell off after about 5 miles - so I wonder how your hub will...

One of the problems with WD-40 is that it turns to something like varnish when it dries which can cause more problems. A thin lube with teflon in it will work...
Mineral spirits+ a little motor oil. It works great, as long as you clean the drive train regularly. With extra motor, it works very well for rain. Tony...
Phil Wood tenatious oil would be good if it isn't too thick to work its way into the hub. It would cause less damage to the grease. ... ...

I've been working on a new 600 course, and after lots of computer map time and around 14 hours of driving last Friday, I think I have one roughed out. I have...

I'm going to miss the Burnt and Ft Mountain climbs and the Pocket Wilderness Area portion of the route, but not that Sunday traffic on the way back to Ellijay....
Usually I try to get the most out of my batteries, so when they get some use on the bike I transfer them to a general use flashlight. After the Tejas 500 I did...
No Burnt Mtn or Fort Mtn, but the Talladega Wilderness will substitute nicely for Pocket Road. ... http://us.click.yahoo.com/VpTY2A/lzNLAA/yQLSAA/vOUolB/TM ......

Both ears and the tail to ya Dave for putting this one together! You've eliminated the two suckiest parts of the old 600. Ellijay and getting from Atlanta to...
David, I'm happy to hear that you were able to work out the new course. Having it start out in the Powder Springs area eliminates the only real downsides of...
Yes, I have a box of used lithiums that Penny and I use for any AA powered devices. I think the shelf life of lithium batteries is something like 10 years! -md...

If there's enough interest, I can see if RUSA would allow two brevets at the same time, or even on different days - one from each direction. The only problem...

Apparently there was some article in the AJC about cycling on the roads last week. I happened to see some readers' comments. Funny how upset some people get...
I suspect most motorists don't see a cyclist more than once or twice a year if that, so I don't take it personally. It's just the nature of our society - take ...
