Just some rambling on some recent bike woes so that I have something to refer back to.

My Schwinn Mesa had the whole chainring set replaced..after flattening it a few times. I've warped both the small and middle ring several times, they put a ?? brand heavy duty set of gears on it at Suck Creek Cycle. Both me, and Joe (a friend) have busted/popped the chain in half riding up hills in Chattanooga on 'mountain' bikes.
Today we did a tough 8 miles (before a 15+ mile group ride) including riding up through White Oak Park, and I can feel my front wheel on a long wheelbase recumbent, get light during the stroke.. cranking hard at 4mph. It's got DuraAce components, and so it'll be interesting to see how they hold up.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
