Wished there were another 10 hours in the day to be able to code so my family could see me a little more. If only I didn't have to sleep!

comment unblock slime presta valve
went to the bike shop.. They didn't notice the removable core either and said they could have a look at some point today. Had a family bike ride planned so thought I would have another go. A pair of pliers and 5 minutes later I had the core out and push the slime blockage out. problem solved. Thanks :-)

either way.. assuming you can do this for presta or schraeder I am not fussed, the advice seems good to me. I need to go to the LBS tomorrow AM as do not have that tool.

comment 4 year old alivio 8 speed rear gears - compatible chain
The bike had not see lots of action compared to more serious riders so wear and tear might not be as worn as others could be... but I don't know lots about this stuff yet, so it's all guess work for me

LOL... thanks Zenbike.. your right, first time the chain has been changed... first time I have ever attempted this at all. Learnt how to use my chain tool a couple of weeks ago (when it snapped on a ride). Will look at those details tonight.
