I don't have a car, so riding anywhere too far from home adds a

Bob,
I have also found the MKS touring pedals...and many other brands/types
of pedals...to be a bit tight and dry.
If they feel too tight I loosen the adjustment, I also do the DIY
grease guard trick (or add some Phil or other thick oil) prior to
heading off into the sunset.

I'm local, up in North County area. I'm riding for sure, just signed

I'm surprised that Harris recommended the 1/8" chain considering
Sheldon's advice ...
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/fixeda.html#chain
If you look on Peter White's site he recommends the 1/8" chain because
it has bushings. I can't find it now, but I'm pretty sure I read
where Sheldon had recommended
If we get some people from the list to come down for the ride, I'd be
interested in organizing a little get-together Friday evening or

your coming from out of town.

I don't think you'll have any problems using a 1/8" chain.As for
chain length, it depends on your gearing, but if you're going to use
an 18t cog you'll want to select chain-length to run the axle much
farther toward the front of the dropout when on the 40 tooth ring.

1/8" chain is ok, but it's better to use 3/32" dérailleur chain if
your rings and freewheel will accept it. If the rings and freewheel/
cog are 3/32, the 1/8 chain will fit somewhat sloppily, which will
cause more wear (I think). Since the standard QB drivetrain uses two
chainrings, it makes sense
So I scored a QB frame and will be assembling it soon. I'm curious,
there's no problem running a 1/2"x1/8" right? I know it'll work on the

regular Sugino rings up front.
Also, any tips for determining chain length? I know I'll want to
