What are the possible upgrades to a 95' Cannondale M900? "just grab a short travel front fork, a new wheelset, a 10 speed groupset" - which (practically) means also a front disk setup. It's probably cheaper to buy a new bike as a donor....Whats left after that, frame, seat and handlebars...... |

Brake cable housing too long? For those with no experienced, take of a 1/2 inch at a time. It's very quick to insert the outer (without the inner) to check length and decide if another cut is needed. Better to do a couple of cuts than take off 1/2 inch too much first time..... |

Does never using the easy front gear give a better workout? I can think of two "better workouts" your approach will give (some what delayed - in 10 to 30 years). 1) Your Orthopedic Surgeon "fine motor control" emptying your wallet. and 2) Your Orthopedic Surgeon "Gross Motor Control" installing the prosthetic knee (Watch how they do it). Unfortunately, you don't benefit from either. Use your small chain ring. |

Why did I feel like crap after racing against a car? Its a physiological survival response from way back.... If you are getting chased by a saber-tooth tiger, you tend to go into Anaerobic exercise levels(or become dinner). Your digestive system needs lots of energy and oxygen to run, so the first thing that happens is that gets shut down (survival of the fittest etc - the ones that this did not happen too became cat food), making you feel sick. In this case, your primal mind could not tell the difference between the car and a saber-tooth tiger..... |

Formula to calculate Single Speed Chain Length from Chainring Size, Cog Size, and Chainstay Length The formula I would use, to get the practical length (i.e. the one that is known to work) - wrap a chain around the cogs and match up one end to the link that it meets when tight, count the links.... Or were you wanting the theoretical value. |

When is a child ready to switch from scooting to pedaling? I laughed when I read "SEE!! I can't do it!" - my boys were exactly the same, and did exactly the same when Mum got home, so it wasn't just me....... |

Is cycling better than walking to lose weight? Best would be to mix it up and keep this fat cells guessing...... Walk some days, ride others, and some days, do both.. Just make sure you keep the effort levels up... |

Is there anything I can do to prevent snakebites (pinch flats)? .. a wider tire is more likely to pinch if it runs out of capacity - but is less likely to run out of capacity....... |

Is there anything I can do to prevent snakebites (pinch flats)? Basicly the physics of tires are such that more volume (for the ame pressure) means more load carring capacity. You get pinch flats because you ran out of load capacity, ergo, bigger tire, fewer pinch flats. Our MTB brethern worked this out a LONG time ago. |
