| A notable mountain. | Pete.

| Some tech help here please. | Pete.
Jan 30, 2002 9:24 AM | | I couldn't climb for some reason. |
| Simple. Your pedals are upside down | Joe Steel
Jan 30, 2002 9:36 AM | | Maybe your cranks too.
You ought to get that checked out. |
| I'm gonna guess, but | Twilight Error®
Jan 30, 2002 9:46 AM | | you must understand that I've got no experience with these things...
You need to have a foot on the pedal to move the crankarm around? I suppose you could do it with your hands, but the position would be more than a little akward.
What city is that? It brings to mind DeRanger's "Praise of dark places" post. |
| San Rafael. (nm) | Pete.

| The chain is the weak link in bicycle technology..... | McCracken
Jan 30, 2002 9:58 AM | | It's all about drive shafts man.
You heard it here first.
McCracken |
| Thanks. I'm taking your advice. | Pete.
Jan 30, 2002 10:04 AM | | I'm ordering a few of these, in carbon, titanium, and unobtanium today.

| Excellent concept... | wm
Jan 30, 2002 10:18 AM | | Under "Technical Information":
"Under normal use, the gears will not fray for a long time."
Think I'll wait.

| They might use phenolic gears to save weight... | Twilight Error®
Jan 30, 2002 10:37 AM | | Those 'fray' under heavy stress...
Something tells me it wouldn't work on any FS bike short of a URT - the shaft needs a pair of U-joints and some sort of slip arrangement. |
| It's all about belt drive baby... | S+J

| You must be hardcore you broke a chain..... | NorthstarDownhiller
Jan 30, 2002 12:36 PM | | try putting some lube on. I hear race line is the best stuff out there, maybe you should buy a 5 gallon bucket so you can put it on top of your crappy tool box. |
| Thanks for the tip! | Pete.
Jan 30, 2002 12:54 PM | | Since you seem to be crying so much, what's your favorite type of Kleenex?
Thanks for the help.
Pete |
| Horrible advice! | McCracken
Jan 30, 2002 1:24 PM | | A 5 gallon bucket of lube sitting on a toolbox will do nothing for your chain. It is obvious what is going on here. Pete deleted an e-mail chain letter without first sending it to 10 of his friends. What an idiot! He is lucky it was only his chain. I bet a similar oversight is also why his Ellsworth broke.
McCracken |
| OK, here's a second chance for ya Pete. | Drewpy
Jan 30, 2002 1:36 PM | | This chain letter was started in hopes of bringing
relief to other tired and discouraged men. Unlike
most chain letters, this one doesn't cost anything!
Just send a copy of this letter to five of your
friends who are equally tired and discontent.
Then bundle up your wife and/or girlfriend and
send her to the man whose name appears at the
top of the following list, and add your name
to the bottom of the list.
When your turn comes, you will receive 15,625
women.
One of them is bound to be better than the one you
already have.
At the writing of this letter, a friend of mine
had already received 184 women, of whom four
were worth keeping.
REMEMBER this chain brings luck.
One man's pit bull died, and the next day he
received a Playboy playmate.
An unmarried Jewish man living with his widowed
mother was able to choose between a Hooter's
waitress and a Hollywood super model.
You can be lucky too, but DO NOT BREAK THE CHAIN!
One man broke the chain and got his wife back
again.
Let's keep it going, men! Just add your name to
the list below!

Jan 30, 2002 12:36 PM | | I think you're a victim of the law of too much torque. Or failed links, or Murphy (500 miles from nearest link pin at LBS). jc |
| Are those the 959s? | The Weasel
Jan 31, 2002 10:41 AM | | If so, how do you like 'em? As compared to other SPDs used. Thanks |

Jan 31, 2002 10:41 AM | | Nice pics by the way, guess my monitor works. |
| Great photo! | free-agent
Jan 30, 2002 9:36 AM | | I really dig the silhouettes of the riders with the fading sky color. |
| Actually, the sky had faded hours before. | Pete.
Jan 30, 2002 10:06 AM | | That was taken around 9:30 and the glow is from the full moon and some sity lights (the orangish bit).
Pete |
| This pic is also a good monitor check. | Pete.
Jan 30, 2002 10:14 AM | | If you can see the riders in this pic, or the outline of the mountain in the second pic, your monitor is in good shape.
If you can't, your monitor is crappy (as mine is at my office).

| Not exactly. | Pete.
Jan 30, 2002 11:07 AM | | China Camp is indeed closed after dark.
We didn't set foot (or wheel) in China Camp State park (it's friggin boring anyway with the exception of a few nasty, illegal, and highly visable/sensitive fall line rubble chutes).

| Me? | Pete.
Jan 30, 2002 11:05 AM | | Yes, it was a poach.
