Driving a half mile to the store really is ridiculous given the California $3.25 per gallon. And the 5 miles to Trader Joes or a little less to Al's Market where the meat is better than most butcher shops is all a little less troublesome when you can get too and from and not worry about freeway traffic that may cost you just as long to drive and to ride. |

My wife and I walked a few miles to some friends' house to attend their annual Swedish pancake New Years day extravaganza. Then we waddled home. Four miles and a net calorie gain. I did work on my son's Roubaix because I'm his personal mechanic. More bike content -- there is a surprising amount of slop in the interface between the Shimano centerlock rotor spines and the hub splines -- at least on my son's bike. With the brakes locked, you can rock the front wheel back and forth like the bike has a loose headset, which it doesn't since I just repacked his cartridges and correctly adjusted the headset. Just plain old slop -- confirmed by complaints on the interweb. -- Jay Beattie. |

Just plain old slop -- confirmed by complaints on the interweb. Given that one normally only brake with the wheels turning one direction is the slop really important? Assuming normal use don't the disk spline simply apply force to one side of the hub splines and never to the opposite side? After all most splined joints have some play, if only a little, to allow them to be assembled. In addition tapered and involute splines are self centering under load. cheers, John B. |

Just fell of his bike a couple of seconds after he made a joke passing another friend on a mild off road climb. Recovering from my broken collarbone and ribs I didn't trust myself off road so I was on my road bike at the meeting point. I rode for a couple of miles with my buddies and as soon as they went off road I went my own way so fortunately I didn't see it happen. The shock came a couple of hours later when a friend showed up at my front door telling me the news. ****ing hell..... Lou |
