Mike, also glad to hear nothing is permanently messed up. I dislocated my left shoulder in a climbing accident in my mid twenties, after which it became...
Everything was going hunky dory for the Cross clan over here in U.A. (Upper Alabama) until last Sunday when I suffered a severe case of double nipple failure...
Tom, glad to hear there you don't have to petition for membership in the non-symmetrical shoulder club and all is well otherwise in UA! Were the nipples alloy...
... Steve Phillips rode with Kevin and me on the GA 400K this year, patiently waiting for me during the descents and my 3 flats. We rode together on the TN...
That would be my question as well. Aluminum is not well suited that such applications. (Sinusoidally varying high stress). Plus, they (alloy nipples) tend...
I am almost certain they are brass and I will likely get the wheels re- built when we return to Atlanta this weekend. Tom On Aug 4, 2008, at 9:24 PM, The Wolff...
Well it certainly wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. Thought I recalled an earlier conversation w/ Tom where he indicated he still had both clavicle's...
All:  It is about time these marginal Look pedals have been recalled. See the full report at: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml08/08354.html. ...
Hi everyone, I'm interested in doing the TN 600k on the Natchez Trace Parkway 9/13 weekend. Is anyone planning to get a hotel room near the start for 9/12 that...
... We often see some black and white striped critters, about the size of a house cat, wandering around the Natchez Trace at night. If you see one, I'd...

Jeff, Thanks for the heads-up. I too snapped an axle on a pair of older (pre-Keo) Look pedals on a Sunday morning group ride in Atlanta with Andy. It was at...
I'm partial to my TA pedals - toe clips so no worry about cleats. Actually, I'm old enough to remember the slotted cleats we used to wear with toe clips, but...
Let's see, fragile plastic frame, crappy boutique wheels, an excessive number of gears with the resulting very low durability chain. Think I'll pass. My...
Since "durability" isn't the same thing as "reliability" or "efficiency", and has nothing to do with "flexibility" of use, I'll continue to be happy with my...
If you've ever ridden with Davy you'd realize that he really doesn't need very many gears; maybe just three: uphill, downhill and flat. And even then he might...
I understand that. I have a full-suspension mountain bike with a derailleur, but I much prefer my hard-tail single-speed with the front suspension locked-out...
I gather you have taken some offense at my comments. I do not mean to impugn your choice of bicycle, whatever it is. I was simply pointing out the usual...
Unfortunately, my single-speed/fixed gave up the ghost last year when the 30+ year old frame cracked in two at the right rear dropout-chainstay intersection....
Yes, I took offense, but I had not noticed the "Ultimate Randonneurring Bicycle" subject line. If I had noticed it, then I would not have objected to, or even...
Efficiency does not enter into the picture, assuming we are comparing road bicycles that fit reasonably well. All medium to high quality road bikes that fit...
I've called my bikes lots of things, especially as I withered on climbs or used the last of my legs trying not to get dropped. I've also called RBA's a...
I've seen lots of bikes over the years. When I got my first racing license these many years ago, we were still racing five cogs and friction down tube...
Well said Mr. Bundrick! More intervals maybe, but fewer beers never! Charles Feaux ... From: David Bundrick To: garandon@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, August...
