How many fingers on the brake lever? I accept you answer, as it provides the most concrete information, beyond the general wisdom "the fewer, the better". Also, shiny pictures :D |

My bike key is broken off inside the lock IMO a hacksaw blade, warped in a newspaper for a handle, is the cheapest solution. Guaranteed to work in under a minute. |

How many fingers on the brake lever? Hooray for the pictures! And again hooray for the idea to position the commands closer to the stem. But why do LBSes not position the levers in this way when assembling a bike? Also, you say pinky, but on the pictures everyone uses their index fingers! |

How many fingers on the brake lever? I know what you are talking about - I have been in a situation, where I was so scared to let go even one of my fingers from the stem because the path was so much rough. However, since I begun maintaining my brakes properly, I have not encountered such a situation again. The pinky really has good leverage, as it grabs the lever at the far end. Long live Archimedes! |

Tips on buying a beginner mountain bike I recommend you add more information in the section what trails do you have in mind. Are you going to descend dirt roads with open view or narrow forest trails with boulders and wet leaves? Do you want to ride around the mountain or to catch some transport to the peak, then descend for the adrenaline? |

What can I do to keep my knees warm? The knee support thing is out of paranoia (like the protection of the knees from falls ... on a commute :D). I need goody-warmy knee-pads, that are comfortable and don't slide off :) |

What to wear when it's cold? But wool does not stop the wind. On the plus side, when you stop, wool keeps you warm (holding lots of air), contrasted with windbreakers. |

What is the optimal cadence? R. Chung, you should consider adding an index to the header of the post. I am making a habit of linking to it :) |

Failing to unscrew BB - what now? @astabada, Yes, it is :(. I think the cap, that is giving me trouble is steel, in my aluminum frame (doesn't look plastic, like the opposite one). So ... ? |

Failing to unscrew BB - what now? I have some oil remover spray handy. I'll give it a try. However, I am skeptical - actually no rust is visible outside the threads. |
