@SteveTTT Take into account that a worn chain wears the gears more rapidly than an unworn chain. That suggests that you should but the best chain that you can so that you avoid wear on the even more expensive cassette and front ring. But you will also find that if you put a brand-new chain onto...

Hydrogen is the way to go for cars and trucks. That will leave Lithium and all the other rare earth elements for bike batteries. :)

Here in the UK, I started off without a bell because it felt rude, but then people started yelling "get a bell!" So, after calling out, coughing, using the rattle from the sexy rear hub, all without much success, I bought a bell. Only for people to jump like hell and get irritated. The...

I believe that its 20mph in the USA (ie 32kph).

oooh steady on! :eek:

Yes I've heard of the FA and although I would love to try it, I fear that I might love it so much I would have to get it on every bike hereafter. So it's a no from me! :(

I too do most of my own maintenance, just not the electrical stuff. For that I need the LBS.

Old prostitute's gag: Santa Claus is my favourite lover; he only comes once per year, but when he does he fills my stockings!

Thanks, helpful. I too have a Shimano transmission. I should also have directed my question to @hijodeputa

"E-fliction" - Love it! :love:

Aren't we all "south of the North pole"? :unsure:

Finish Line wet lube for everything, except where grease is required and then it's Weldtite TF2 grease.

@SwampNut I get the learned body position and auto response thing that you just cannot change, I really do. It's why I cannot bunny hop! No matter how many times I read how to do it, watch how to do it, try to do it..... I just can't! :( I've even paid for courses and I still can't do it...

There is a change in bike geometry for a 29er that has been mulleted to have a 27.5 rear wheel. In that case the BB will be lower, and the design compromised. Unless of course, some sort of user adjustment has been provided for in the original design to allow for the prospect of mulleting and to...

Change the choices of bike for your wife. That seems perfectly rational to me. When one battery starts to show signs of aging, you can swap batteries! :)
