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.

You can use the stretch method on rod bolts. Other than that there aren't t many places you can torque by stretch. I suppose if you work day in and day out on the same bolts and nuts one could get pretty darn good at the feel method for torquing properly. My thought on bolts that go into...

Eliminating waste is good and should be done more often than it is. It should be done with careful vetting though. Companies and government will always have surges that require hirring additional help during busy times or special programs. Often this help is retained long after the need for...

This is something one may consider when making electrical connections in wet salty conditions. I live up North in the USA where the roads are very salty especially in the winter. When installing a trailer light connections the only type wire connection that would not corrode in the future was a...

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...

Welcome Tom. I had that same problem with one of my bikes. A weld had slightly melted into the tube and left a high spot. You will have to file or grind it off or it will score the new post too. I could get at the spot with a round file as it wasn't too far down in the tube.
