Thank you to Michal Krodkiewski for this tip on a good technique to clean your chain properly.  I use a Wipperman link myself and it’s the most convenient way to remove your chain when cleaning.  Remember, a clean chain = 5 watts!

Cold hard cash can be good for all sorts of things. Usually for the things that you can buy with it but in some cases it’s good for what you can  use it  for . Let me explain…

This email tips was a good one I started doing some of my own work to my bike… and to be honest, the shifting especially is better than it’s ever been when I’ve had it done by a shop… I think because you spend the time to make sure all the barrel adjusters are set where you want them… the limit screws are set perfectly and then you adjust your shifting to shift up just as well as down gears…  I bought a torque wrench too and now the noise my crank used to make when I had it looked at by a shop has gone!!  Plus I bought some of the Dura-Ace grease to re-do the parts just like when you get them new.
