Got a suprise

Decided to change front brake pads, I know a fairly simple task. Pull covers, then pad pins so and so forth. Look up WingAdim's how to to get torque values and found that I had not done the anti-dive bearings. To tell the truth I didn't even know there were any. So thank you again WingAdim for the g...

good day

Just finished a 300+ mile ride on my new tires and brakes. Soooo much better now. Went up to Cyclemax store and spent some money and got to meet the guy. Nice little store and great to meet the person I buy from.

Re: Trunk closed

You could also tape a spare key somewhere on the bike out of sight. Takes only a minute to retrieve the key and unlock things. However, a spare key will not help at all if the latching mechanism has been messed with. That little coat hanger will be a big help if you ever take the latching mechanism...
