Thinking of quitting due to dangerous driving Contact your local bike shop and see if they sponsor a group road ride. I know several in my area offer rides for novices and explain how and where to ride safely in a group setting. They plan them during low traffic times so you can get accustomed to traffic. |

What happened to pumps? Make sure the head is fitted correctly on the valve. Most older pumps had the "locked on" position with the lever parallel to the hose with the lever layed down. . Most new pumps seem to have the locked position with the lever up or perpendicular to the hose. |

Can I replace a 1/2 inch bolt with a 14mm one to secure my axle? Are you refering to the size of the nut that retains the bearing cones on the axle or the nuts that hold the axle in the frame/fork? |
