Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Wow. I guess I should be tightening mine a bit more. I only have the one bike with a cassette. The rest are freewheels. Thanks for that tip.

I have strong legs and a good understanding of leverage. Helps compensate for my bike weenie arms.

It might if it had a screw on small cog. The lock ring will not tighten when riding. Sometimes they come loose, though.

Thanks. I'm stuck in freewheel land. I'll take it off tomorrow morning and tighten it up.

How many ugga duggas is that? That's the sound of an impact gun, according to a mechanic forum I read.

The unending season is still going, and you're talking about starting another one.

Learning to build wheels is a way to get the wheels you want, not the wheels you need.

You know what is really hard to find? A 650b rim brake wheelset with high flange track hubs and a fixed/fixed rear. Guess what's on my track bike?

I think H P L U S S O N can look nice sometimes

Quiet freehubs are the best freehubs.
