At 1:01pm on February 24, 2010, ERCHLVRSN said…: The belt drive is really nice, very simple altogether, nicely made et al. It’s very quite. Makes little noise and changing out a flat is very easy – different for each model using it. The Trek system on my bike is very simple, one Allen head holds the whole read wheel together – there are 3 small tension Allens that help align the wheel. The only problem is user error! If you don’t follow the directions how to remove/install the wheel you could have issues. Mostly it’s just reading the manual and making sure you have the belt aligned correctly and have good tension on it – it’s simple really! I would not suggest a belt drive for a fixed gear but makes perfect sense for a single speed…I’m very happy with my purchase!

I like your Seven…very nice!!!

At 8:03pm on February 1, 2010, Matthew Wong said…: Hi Leah,
I'm a student at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern doing a final project analyzing "the chainlink." The assignment asks us to write "a report about a community of individuals who use an online forum for interaction and discussion." Would it be possible to get in contact with you via email or phone to talk with you about the site? My email is matthewwong2013@u.northwestern.edu. Look forward to hearing from you! Matt

Could you allow the posting to go up as quickly as possible since it is only the day before! Thanks so much and would love to see you out on an MM ride sometime.

As a rep of Windy City Cycling Club and a bit of geek (I'm a computer consultant by trade), I'm impressed with Chainlink. You've done a great job with ning and I look forward to connecting with like-minded folks here.

Thanks for your undoubtedly-endless-and-tireless hours of work!

Clyde

The South Shore Kids' Tri

On Saturday morning I did a quick ride down to the South Shore Country Club with Tamara, and as we got close to the Museum of Science and Industry we saw the cutest thing: the South Shore Kids' Triathlon. We rode through while the 7-10 division was racing, and it was so cool to see these little kids pedaling their hearts out on their mini mountain bikes, then later running and obviously exhausted. I wish we could have stayed and watched th… Continue
