Mine says to tighten the roller against the tire until the tire compresses about 3-5mm

I'll give you my 2 cents if your willing to lend an ear. In my teenage years, i was playing AAA Midget Hockey. I didn't like my teamates, coach, the whole she-bang. After my second year of AAA, i quit. I was fed up with the "lifestyle" of playing competative hockey. I told myself i HATED...

Armenian: As a motocross atv builder i agree that bike maintence is easy as pie, and deraileur adjustment is something everybody should learn how to do on his/her own. However, this may be a good time to begin a relationship with his LBS. Taking your bike in for something simple, is a) a...

Sorry amigo, but the Yellow ones are faster.......

Thanks for all your help. One last quetion for you: is the 40 52 common? or am i just week in the legs..... I find i'm rarely on the 52 except on a few flat sprints.

Scotty: no disrepect intended. I'm just extremely frustrated with my LBS. I'm simply stating what my LBS told me. Maybe if i explain how it comes off, it might shed some light: to remove my cassette i need 2 chain whips, and "unscrew" the smallest sprocket. Then the rest of the sprockets...

Thanks mom for finding my old post( i am a newb, remember...) But if you noticed, i didn't have my gearing specs, and now i do. Aso i can't change anything on the cassette, hence my new post regarding FRONT chainrings.

Figured i'd post my gearing and see if i'm just a wuse, or if anyone would recommend a change for me. front: 40,52 Rear: old 7speed 13 to 24 I'm looking for an easier granny gear.... My LBS told me that my style of cassette is pretty much impossible to update. Thanks

I read the info on that link (thank you btw). However, for all of the "Square" fits, it just says square. So can i assume that if the crank arm has a "square" and not splined, it will fit? (I'm a rookie, so please bare with me)

My el cheapo mountain bike left crank arm is really sloppy on the taper. ARe all square hole arms the same taper fit?

Hi all, Looking on ebay for a smaller chainring for the front. My question is regarding the bolt circle. Do all chainrings have the same bolt circle for mounting, or does it depend on what kind i have?

Very pretty, and i hope you know i was just poking fun, no harm intended. So if your other kids are my age, (36) that would put you over 55.......

Not to bust your balls or anything, but that is a safety hazard. Hopefully we won't hear about you being sucked into a transport trailer......Is your Life Insurance all paid up? Is your wife pretty? Do you think your kids will call me Dad in a few years? (just kidding)

Hi there, As a fellow novice i'll ansnwer what i can for you, based on my ability. I'll pass on the gel's question as i've never used them. 2) If you don't have a bike computer, i'd strongly suggest getting one. I have a cheap Schwin one which displays calories burned, and i've compared it to...

I know i'm just a rook, are you eating after your rides? I read some where on here that you should be eating within 20 min after your ride, to refuel your body so it can "repair" itself. I recently began having a protien shake with a banana after my rides, and now i don't have the soreness the...
