Hopefully things will calm down about July 2007. The bike-related articles on my blog are updated most frequently. I joined BikeJournal in early Feb 2006. (Thanks to live2bike for introducing me to BikeJ!)

Bicycles 2000 KHS alite2000 Hardtail XC Mountain bike Description:  My mountain bike and its goo. 2006-07-11, ~1130 km (per the cyclocomputer): Original bottom bracket (sealed) is toast. Replaced with a Shimano #53. Lifetime Odometer: 2,232.4 km Tires: 26 x 1.40 Ritchey , front, 1,631 km 26 x 1.40 Ritchey , rear, 1,631 km 1986 Takara Tribute Touring Road bike Description:  A bike with some history! My "Burgundy Beauty", Cr-Mo (chromoly) frame from the mid-80's. I don't have a lifetime odometer reading for this bike. I'm on my third cycle computer, and the "lifetime" odo is taken from this unit. 2006-03-10: New chain @ 260.5 km 2006-04-28: Replaced original (?) tires today at 909.0 km. I've been having trouble with the new chain slipping off the cogs, talked to the wrenches at Peak Adventures--they confirmed my hunch that the cogs were worn. Estimated cost for new cogs/casette+rear wheel is ~$400. A new Sequoia would only be about $1100. Hmm... 2006-05-11: Cogs were causing me a lot of grief last weekend, but I didn't want to spend a few hundred dollars to fix the problem. New set (same gearing) installed today at 1100 km, for under $20. Lifetime Odometer: 2,216.8 km Tires: 700 x 23C Vittoria Rubino Tech, front, 1,282 km 700 x 23C Vittoria Rubino Tech, rear, 1,282 km
