see if one of these test groups are working while you are at it:

abg.test
acs.test
ahn.test

{rest snipped}


So you're flaming ol' Zeke for wasting bandwidth by wasting 5 times as much
yourself?

All of that 'test' post got downloaded onto my HD, 'cuz
I'm sucking news via the Leafnode pseudoserver, and looking
at it offline. Same as all the NGs I read.


So, just to make the 'test' topic fit into cycling, do you
or anybody else out there have a specific regimen by which
you test refurbished bikes?

I have a steepish hill nearby. I've found shifting on
triples is wayy different on a repair stand, than under
load, in real field conditions. It's nice to have some
real terrain in which to see how stuff behaves. I don't
know if that can be simulated in a shop. It would be
nice if it could be.


good ride,
Tom

I've an underground parking I can ride in circles, shift into a good
gear and climb out the steep driveway to fairly level a back lane.

There I test the brakes and start running through the gears. It's then
I notice that I forgot the mutt. If the bike checks out, I turn right
and stomp up Laurel for a few blocks. Then turn around and coast back
no-hands. Give the brakes a good high speed test and turn into the
lane for home.

The first long ride too is considered a test so tools for adjusting
fit are carried as well.

I've got creaky cranks to fix this week.

I'm always amazed at how the skilled, professional
bike shop wrenches get things so ride-able right off
the shop floor. They deserve a thumbs-up and maybe
a Solly's cinnamon roll and a Pilsner Urquell, for
rendering bikes so painlessly ride-able again.
