    Mini-Swap Front Light?

    Thanks. Are you saying solder on as in splicing onto a new light without the connection? And are there lights on the market with this connection that you're aware of? I'll do some research tonight, I just cannot right now as I'm leaving work, thanks again for the reply.,

    Mini-Swap Front Light?

    I don't know what the connector is, but I think I'm just going to abandon this idea for now, from their response, unless someone can chime in with other experiences or options that work. I emailed them yesterday and the following was part of their response: "The front wires are fairly low...

    Mini-Swap Front Light?

    No, but I'll check it out if it's direct swap. I don't know what the connector type is called or what I should be looking for if I simply want to plug a light into the stock connection to work. Thanks again.

    Alternate Crank set and pedals

    I actually purchased a pedal wrench and a torque wrench for the crankset and pedal install. I don't know, it's possible it came loose on the very last ride, but I constantly checked it, it wasn't loose from what I could tell, but hey, maybe just tight enough after riding and slowly loosening to...

    Alternate Crank set and pedals

    They're cross threaded, because it came loose while riding, and I had no choice but to force them back in when I got to work or else it would have fallen out. I knew they would get destroyed when putting them back in but I had no choice, as I needed to get home. Yes, I fed it in by hand and...

    Alternate Crank set and pedals

    Somehow the threads keep stripping. I mean, they only thread in one way and I cranked them down flush. Take a look.

    Alternate Crank set and pedals

    Hey Hicks, I have no clue. I can't imagine I pedal any differently than anyone else. I weigh about 176 lbs and I ride to work any day it's not raining, on a windy and slightly hilly bike trail. The only thing I can think of is that it's my dominant leg, and maybe I'm pressing in a different...

    Mr. Gold, thank you very much for taking the time with the detailed info. 1st thing I'm doing before riding this week is lowering the tire pressure a bit. Part of my struggle is, as you described, the trail I ride is basically a very rough paved trail. It's thin, cracked, runs over tree...
