Problem with chain `skipping` (but not trying to shift) Stiff links can often be fixed by flexing the chain from side to side a little. |

What should I look for in clipless pedals and shoes? Downsides of Crank Bros pedals (Egg Beaters, anyway) is that the bearings don't last. They have one bearing and one bushing and the bushing wears quickly, leading to a pedal with a lot of play on the axle. Be prepared to rebuild/have them rebuilt. |

What is the best floor pump? +1 for Silca. Inexpensive in the first place and everything's user-replaceable and easily available. Worn washer? Buy a new one for £1 and your pump is as good as new. |

What's the cheapest way to get into training with power? The Polar system worked by measuring the resonant frequency of the chain. From this it derived the chain tension and the rider's power. IIRC tests showed it to be less accurate than direct measurement systems but it tracked changes in power (relative power, not absolute, is what really matters) reasonably well. Looked fugly and was a pain to clean though. |
