Learning to bunny hop on a MTB You don't need to turn them to a specific angle, just tilt them a bit so that you can get the hooking motion that kicks back and helps pick up your back wheel. If you lean on your front end and try hooking the back so that you're lifting the back end you're well on the way. |

If not Kona Asphalt Commuter then what? When I say plenty I mean that a lot of the manufacturers do them, but each manufacturer has probably 1 or 2 bikes in their range that match your precise specifications. Take this one from a quick search on halfords website, halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/…. It also has 26" wheels You just need to know what terminology to look for. Here's one from Giant with large wheels, wiggle.co.uk/giant-seek-1-2011 |

Can a fixed gear sprocket be changed without tools? @will, in general the UK isn't a back water when it comes to tools. For a standard cassette lock ring tool you can spend anywhere from £4 to nearly £20 depending on the quality and the mark-up at the shop. I'm not sure exactly which tool you need for a fixed gear sprocket though otherwise I'd try to answer your question more directly. This search might help though, chainreactioncycles.com/SearchResults.aspx?Search=lockring. They are usually a good option for the uk, especially on a budget. |

How do you switch grip shifters from shifting as if they were on the opposite derailleur? @Stopher87 in that case did you flip the handlebars over? |

Tightening rear quick release stops rear wheel I think you've pretty much diagnosed it yourself. Try adjusting the cones. It might mean that the hub needs a service, but you may as well see if you can simply fix it by adjusting the cones first since it's quite simple. |

How do you spot the left side pedal on egg beater pedals? Mine have the groove too, just as they say. I double checked my instructions though and I definitely can't find any reference to it in them. I guess they got lost in translation ;) (Actually they are in English but it's a big sheet with multiple languages so I guess that might not be so far from the truth). Anyway that answers the question thanks. |

How do you spot the left side pedal on egg beater pedals? @DanielRHicks That's a nice idea. I'm too used to seeing an L and an R so I didn't have any neat tricks for determining which is which. Well until all the answers came into this question! |

How do you spot the left side pedal on egg beater pedals? +1 I may mark this one as the answer if there isn't a specific way to spot the egg beaters orientation any other way. I'll leave it open for a bit to see if there are any owners of that model about who can say. |
