I had my bike attached to a bicycle rack just beside the frontage of a bicycle shop with a low-end cable lock. I'd forgotten the u-lock and had popped in to the shop to pick out a more-than-temporary...

I don't know how the pads are arranged, but the squeal is usually caused by the movement of the pads. You could try putting motorbike anti-squeal compound behind the pads (not on the rotor-facing...

Male or female, the squeal of the Hope and the clunk of the downshift to overtake constitutes my bell :p

Lock (Abus, not Kryptonite)

Holy Crap, I had a scare today.

I didn't realise just how totally out of shape I was. I haven't ridden at all since perhaps October last year, but even before then my 'riding' was not exactly frequent. I've been pretty fit since my...

I worked up to DH from XC, so I used to ride DH with a PD-M636 when they first came out... A much better way to compete IMO. I didn't really see the attraction of BMX-style pedals for hardcore riding...

Throughout the day I will have nowhere to change, and don't want to lug around extra clothing. The underpants are already sorted out... I have lots of liner shorts.
