Lamers? Please give us your definition of what you consider a lamer. Is it like stupid, dumb, lazy or what? Please tell us.

Just what is it you are trying to say here anyway?

A cracked rim will keep flexing, the tape will fatigue, eventually crack and leak.

I try to stretch my dollar but that is becoming more and more difficult.

I know this is a trivial thing but but it bugs me, People saying chain stretch when the fact is bicycle chains don't stretch. They get longer but it is from wear on the pivot points of the chain. Well I got that off my mind

I think it is called "Pack mentality".

I live in the Arizona desert where the sun is hot and powerful enough to severely overheat and damage a cell phone and the battery while i in a bicycle handlebar mount. For this reason and plus the vibration I quit using the mount. It is a great convenience but can be an expensive one.

Dorkyman, I fully agree with you on solvent stripping away the lubrication from the bearing surfaces of a chain. The solvent has little if any lubricating quality to it so to get new oil/lube into those bearings the new lube would have to strip away the solvent before it can get in and lubricate...

How fast is too fast for me, well that depends on many things on a particular day. If I am out to reach a destination far away or I am just out joy riding to see the scenery and smell the roses. whatever the spirit moves me to ride like that day. If I am going down hill on a straight, smooth...
