Bryan D replied to h' 1.0's discussion 'Home Depot Boycott'"Oh man, for a moment I was scared I was going to have to stop shopping there. I like the home depot. The smell of fresh cut wood and potting soil. And where else can you buy drain cleaner that can also remove your skin?

Bryan D replied to Spencer "Thunderball" Thayer!'s discussion 'Did that guy die on the LATEride?'"Yea, the LATE ride was not so much a ride this year as it was a a recreation of normal Chicago traffic. Bumper to bumper, stop and go. Lame. I'll stick to riding on my own, thank you much."

During the summer months when the weather is nice and the roads are clean, there is absolutely no need to lube every week. I easily go two months of near-daily riding during the summer without lubing my chain. In the…"
Mark Kenseth replied to Bryan D's discussion 'My First Lube (Or, What Else Should I be Doing That I'm Not?)'"i like wiping my bike down after a rain or cleaning my wheels/rims after riding over wet pavement. cleaning the rims keep my brakes working, and keeping the bike clean makes me feel good and keeps my hands from getting grimey.

Matthew replied to Bryan D's discussion 'My First Lube (Or, What Else Should I be Doing That I'm Not?)'"Check your spokes by lightly pinching two together at a time.

BalloonBiker replied to Bryan D's discussion 'My First Lube (Or, What Else Should I be Doing That I'm Not?)'"If you use clipless pedals, check to make sure that the screws on the cleats are tight. It's possible for them to become loose and have one or two fall out, which can be somewhat dangerous. If only one screw in still in, the cleat will stay in…"
