Could you please tell me about your fluid load? I'm curious about the 60-80
oz. of fluid I see you hauling on there (that middle bottle looks like a 40

I'm with Joe on this. I suspect you've got 4 visible arms and a hidden 5th

Here's Sheldon's chart. There are many Shimano 4-bolt mtn cranks, so I'm

You are right, Lee, the soggy boggies may well be an issue and that is
part of the test. However, my ibex wool t-shirts wore out last year (after

Hmm, like Joe, I remember Cook cranks but never heard of a 4 bolt one. 4
arm, yes, with 5 bolts and one hidden. 94/58 was common back then for 5 arm
and was never available as a 4 bolt.

What about sweaty soggy underwear Deacon? I know for money that cotton is
less expensive but wool allows moisture to be removed while riding while
cotton hold onto it more. Are you willing to ride less comfortable on a
bicycle doing long rides?

You're right Bill I used the wrong chart.
It's a 4 bolt spider. And I measured from one bolt to the other and those

There's a conflict in your measurement procedure, or I'm confused, or both.
You say your chainrings all are 4-bolt. That is to say, each chainring is
held to the spider with four chainring bolts. Is this right? If so, you
measure the BCD by measuring OPPOSITE bolts, not adjacent bolt
Thanks Joe.
Yes I plan on riding it. So most likely just get a new 10 speed group.

Garth, I've decided to try that first. I'm OCD about cross-chaining, so I don't

Hello Rivendellians,
I have a 1995 Salsa Ala Carte and I'd like to rehab it with a new drive and

comfort. The current setup I'm pretty stretched out.Th
One more Hunqa question. It says the bb drop is 80. That seems really high
for a MTB. Specially for tall people who will want to run longer cranks.
Even the Ogre is 68 and people consider that pretty high. The Salsa 29er is
60. I've never understood why production frames don't decrease the bb drop
Or, if you are lazy, you can use your off-hand thumb: grip the stay
adjacent to the rim wall as you turn the wheel and wrench the spokes with
the dominant hand. I built my first and only wheel using bike frame and
thumb, and I've trued innumerable others this way.
Oh, and you can also use a hammer
I agree with almost all of what you say, except that my old -- very old! --

thousands of miles on the front-brakes-only of my Rivendell fixies, and I

Fabric glue sounds like the perfect solution. A quick search at Amazon
provided quite a variety of options. I assume that any "permanent" fabric glue
should do the trick.
