| 2007/4/11-12 [Transportation/Bicycle] UID:46261 Activity:moderate | 4/11 I have a full carbon body bike with Shimano DuraAce components.
\_ Oh, yeah? Well, my kung fu is the best!
\_ I have a titanium bike with DuraAce components! My frame will last
hundreds of years.
\_ My Shimano DuraAce component is bigger than yours!
\_ I just ate a tasty piece of baklava.

| 2006/10/7-10 [Transportation/Car, Transportation/Bicycle] UID:44716 Activity:low | 10/7 I'm thinking about buying nice aero Shimano or Mavic wheel sets
with 16/20 spokes front/back. Besides cost are there other things
to consider? Is it harder to true the wheels with less spokes, and
are they much less reliable?
\_ Don't have an answer but I wonder why old slow ass
middle-aged guys always have the hottest bikes.

| 2006/7/9-10 [Transportation/Bicycle] UID:43604 Activity:nil | 7/9 Help! My bicycle fell into the sand and my new Shimano Deore DX
shifters have sand inside. I can feel them when I shift. How
hard is it to clean up the shifters? I'd hate to take them apart
only to find out that they're impossible to put back, like most of
the modern over-engineered components today.
\_ You can put them back together. -tom

| 2006/6/30-7/3 [Transportation/Bicycle] UID:43536 Activity:nil | 6/29 Do all 10s Shimano Ultegra levers come with buttons? In another
word, say you buy a bike with Ultegra levers but without the
computer, what additional accessories do you need to buy to
mount your own computer?

| 2006/6/26-29 [Transportation/Bicycle] UID:43499 Activity:nil | 6/26 I'm trying to take out my regular bike pedals and replace them with
Shimano R540 clipless. I've tried using the hex tool (number 6) but
the existing pedal wouldn't budge. I'm aware of the directional
differences between the left and the right pedal and I've ruined
one of my hex tools (I over twisted it). What's the best way to
take pedals out without ruining hex tools? Thanks.

| 2006/6/21-26 [Transportation/Bicycle] UID:43456 Activity:nil | 6/21 Say I buy a used road bike with double chain but I'm weak and would
like to change it to a triple chain (assuming 105 and/or Ultegra
sets). Is it hard to do so, and how much would it cost?
\_ You'll probably need to replace your crankset, bottom bracket,
front shift lever, front derailler, and rear derailler. You may
want to replace the cassette with something with a wider range,

| 2006/6/7-9 [Transportation/Bicycle] UID:43298 Activity:nil | 6/6 Dear road cyclists, what kind of bicycle&components&wheels do you
guys have, and how heavy is it?
\_ I have an old 80's all steel roadbike. Probably weighs about
30 lbs. Cost me $25 at a garage sale. Works great.
\_ I'm a newbie biker and I have a heavy hybrid (35 pounds). When
I get good enough to catch up to real roadies on my hybrid, I'll

he's pretty happy with it except that the front derailleur kind
of sucks and doesn't downshift to 1 all the way. We tried adjusting
the H and L screws and the cable tension and the positioning of the
derailleur mount but nothing works. He's thinking about getting a
new left shifter & front derailleur to replace the cheapo no-name

| 2006/3/27-29 [Transportation/Bicycle] UID:42463 Activity:nil | 3/27 I hadn't biked for about 8 years and decided to buy a brand new
bike this weekend. I was so excited that I decided to cruise around
the beach an entire day yesterday. When I got back I was pretty proud
of myself; for someone who hadn't biked for 8 years, I did pretty
well. Today I sore like hell and I can hardly move my legs. I called
in sick and I'm working from home. I'm in total serious pain.
