How can I charge my phone while cycling? I've found that doing that results in very poor accuracy. At least with the app I use (CardioTrainer) distance traveled can be off by 5%, which is really quite a bit (1 mile/km in 20). |

Brake cable housing too long? I took an inch off, wasn't quite enough, so took another half inch and now it's perfect. Nice gentle curve with the cable going directly into the adjuster. |

Brake cable housing too long? @fideli I did look at Sheldon's article, and the trouble is his picture is a very different arrangement. He says the important point is the cable should enter the brake at a straight angle, and this does. But is it too much? That's my question. |

Is reversing the stem (pointing it backwards) a safe way to reduce reach length? I want to upvote you for the extensive, considered answer and the ASCII art of handlebars that must have taken a lot of time, but I don't think you actually answered the question. |

Why did I feel like crap after racing against a car? @sevargdcg Your clarifications should be edited into your answer. Others who read the answer may not read all the comments. |

How often should I lube my chain? Paraffin is not a solvent. |

Is this an abnormal rate of spoke breakage? @cherouvim I can't say whether that one spoke pair was off when they fixed the last broken spoke. They're a good shop and I believe their mechanics are capable. |

Disabling back-pedal brake OK, I have to ask how hand brakes are an affectation designed to appeal to boys. That statement just demands substantiation. |

Is this an abnormal rate of spoke breakage? I bought the bike from an individual, not a bike shop, so I can't insist they deal with it. It was un-ridden, so essentially new, but it had hung in his garage for a couple years so no warranty. |

Is this an abnormal rate of spoke breakage? @jimirings No, I didn't, but the four breaks happened over the course of a year and the same LBS fixed them all, so if tensioning was the issue then they should have noticed and fixed it while they were repairing the broken spokes. I had the wheel in the shop today and the mechanic checked the tensions. They were correct with one minor exception. |

Is this an abnormal rate of spoke breakage? @DanielRHicks OK, the agreement seems to be the rate of breakage is abnormal, so I've edited the question to add the obvious. |
