Aaaaaargh! When I owned a Mini with worn-out hydrolastic suspension
(BTW did you know that Alex Moulton designed this? Another story) I
almost used to go airborne over the B-Double instigated 'waves' worn in
the tarmac at the top of the outbound Keilor hill section. Strange to go
the full travel (admittedly not much) over a supposedly flat section of
road.

There's a couple of flat, straight sections but I'm not sure if they're
long
enough and I've only driven them so they could be rough as guts. Wind
would be a problem (no natural valley) and so would traffic.
But I'll add it to the list

(radical - back on thread)

seems they're not suited to my maintenance habits, damn.

Long-term users of Crank Brothers' pedals report that you do have t
make sure you maintain the bearings. A screw-in plastic grease port i
included with the pedals and it's a simple matter to remove th
dustcap, fit the grease port, pump in new grease then swap the dustca
back out. However, while this kind of maintenance isn't essential wit
many pedals, it is vital with Candies, as the pedal turns on a bushin
at one end and a ball-bearing at the other and bushings really don'
like being run dry. Crank Bros recommends fresh grease every 100-30
hours of riding, which isn't too arduous a schedule and fortunately, i
you do neglect them, spares are available and the pedals can be rebuilt
