beautiful bike. I burned 4000 calories last weekend. Problem is, for the next 3 days, you want to eat everything in site. But, yes, it's great for your metabolism, and how else can you burn those kind of calories and have fun doing it? On Friday, November 22, 2013 3:12:22 PM UTC-6, Jennin

[RBW] Re: mechanical issues

of course you never grease the bolt threads, but if you don't grease the square taper, you may not get real torque on your crank arms and this would be a significant source of creak - you also have the potential of a crank arm becoming lose or falling off, which is no good. On Monday, Novembe
