Just an observation to complete the picture - Shimano, at least, provides rear derailleur specs for the maximum tooth difference between the front chain ring and the freewheel or freehub, as well as...

There are some local bike path stretches where I experience this. Sometimes it helps to look at trees, power poles or anything else that's supposed to be vertical. Trees are tricky, though, because a...

For simplicity and cost, if you don't need something that displays maps or tracks, I'd go with a unit that reads wheel revolutions. Swap out the battery (or batteries, usually something like a...

I agree. What I do with mileage and GPS tracks is a hobby pursuit,
Another point I will mention regarding the Cateye. I often have inadvertently zeroed out my mileage by holding down the button...

GPS vs wheel circumference

I've run a Garmin 64sx for several years with a Cateye Strada, overkill perhaps. I try to correlate the distance readings between them by adjusting the Cateye wheel circumference setting. I load the...

Pedal extenders may reduce toe overlap. There are some cons in using extenders, but they provide a major benefit on my 700c Grando with fenders and traps.

I haven't found Calibre able to unlock those Amazon purchases that are copy-protected, but I think you may be able "own" Amazon books that are in the public domain. For those, a better, free source...

It's possible to call Phil Wood, since that's what I did. But that $90 wouldn't include shipping, so your local guy is bound to be less expensive. On my old hub, the bearings are indeed two different...

You didn't mention why the hub bearings need to be replaced. For whatever it's worth, I have a 40-spoke Phil Woods rear hub, which I purchased in 1992. I had the idea, at the time, that it would be...

I use the same routine any time I'm on the bike (bike paths mostly). I prepare routes on BaseCamp, using free OpenSource maps, and download to a Garmin 64sx mounted on the handlebars. Two Eneloop...

We've ridden 700cx35 on the Kary for several years. The only time we had a real problem was when, right after a rain. we hit a stretch of limestone that was newly laid. It was like unpacked beach...

That's what I do. A good choice if you're reasonably familiar with using a spreadsheet. You can set it up to track almost anything. If you've never used a spreadsheet much, then consider keeping a...

I'd think about using a penetrating oil along with some moderate heat. Even a hair dryer. I'd do three or four circuits a few hours apart. Oil, heat, removal attempt. I've removed freewheels that...
