Is it possible to measure your sit bones at home? I should have quantified that my coffee table, if it were a bike, would be categorized as a low rider... |

Bike lock for a Mountain bike with easily removable wheels @gcb how is this any different than hammering the lock against the bike rack? In any case, I'll take my chances. Whenever possible I always lock my bike next to one that is nicer and less securely locked. |

Can I use an “8 speed compatible” crank such as Shimano FC-2303 with a 7 speed Shimano MF-HG37 freewheel? If you're on a budget, I would try making your existing front derailer work. You would need to move it upwards slightly on the seat tube and get it to clear the max chainring by about 1mm. Then simply test ride and see if works to your liking, if not, get a new one. |

Bike Polish for Carbon Frames I'm convinced the FinishLine bike polish is really just a can of furniture polish with a FinishLine label. It smells just like generic furniture polish, sprays out of the can like furniture polish, looks like furniture polish, etc. I really prefer Motorex Bike Shine. |
