Slow down rusting of chain

:It might have something to do with the articular chain as well; mine is a KMC Z8RB. RB means 'rust buster'; they, or at least the side plates, are hot dip galvanized, ot prevent rust. :I think it is intended for 8 piece casettes, :but it works fine for my 5 piece :Shimano Positron. I use a similar one on my IGH bike, they work fine, and are cheap. I even use one on my beater, which has an eight speed free hub. -- sig 35 |

The guy standing moves about whilst the guys are spinning and therefore you know that video wasn't just sped up. Switch to 0.25 speed; watch and count. Could be close to 250 peak. |

I timed Captain Dan Henry at 200 rpm on rollers when he was well into his 70s. (Old timers may remember him. He did roller riding demonstrations in which he would disrobe down to his shorts. This was back before "clipless" pedals, and he didn't use toeclips.) And I timed my grandson at 175 rpm on a 12" wheel bike back when he was four years old. -- - Frank Krygowski |

I needed to replace my tires so I was doing that while in the basement watching tv. When I pulled the rear tire off it splashed water all over the carpet. The front one had some water as well. Never had that before... |

Some of the street lakes aren't, but the inch-an-hour type rainfall is a rarity. This is not NC. I normally won't do deep water on a road. I'd be too worried about unseen holes, etc. I've crossed streams with a mountain bike, but never more than about 6" deep, IIRC. On one tour (Ireland, the wettest experience of my cycling life) we had no alternative but to ride a flooded portion of road. The water was maybe 6" deep, not quite up to our bottom brackets. I sort of ratchet-pedaled across, keeping my feet dry. My wife and daughter just cranked through it and laughed about it. -- - Frank Krygowski |
