    Relay Tips / Tricks

    I think the shock mounts can give a clicking/ticking sound too. Noticed this went away immediately when I put on a coil shock. Was gone for a while, but after a big trip to the Alps the sound came back. Just removed cleaned and re-greased the fittings and it looks good again.

    Mobi V-17

    Yep, got one and it is great. Use it after every ride. It did leak a small amount in back of my van, just a trickle mind. So if you are driving around with it full of water make sure there is an old towel under it.

    Bike Cover for Storing and Keeping Wife Onside.

    Life is not that simple! One of the chain reaction bike bags may work, but I think you have to take 1 or more wheel off.
