    Wish I knew about this flip when I got a flat this morning several miles from home. I’ve been using the adapter to pump my tires for 25 years and I had the adapter with me this morning but no pump that could use it - or so I thought. I wound up calling my wife to bring me the “real” bike pump, and pumped the replacement tube with the adapter in no time. Presta is a perfect example of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. I’m sticking with the adapter.

    • @dawn_rider
      @dawn_rider 3 дня назад

      You might be able to salvage them if they are just loose and the cups / cones have not been ground away. If they sound 'gritty' and are loose that is usually not a good sign. Your best bet is just to have a go , if you have the tools / time and possibly want a learning experience. Personally I have moved to Shimano PD-M520 SPD mountain bike pedals but of course these need shoes with cleats and at least for the UK you need to buy reflectors for them as an extra to stay legal at night. Also SPD type pedals don't have much scope for sideways adjustment so it is sometimes better to have the cheap ' flat pedals' as you can put your feet where you want. I know this is extra information but if you do decide you want replacement pedals it gives you a tiny bit of information what the options are.

    This is such an amazing thing and we’re very lucky we get it. I would however like to see possible help for carers as any of us caring full time for a loved one can’t get out to a job , we do get help from the government but it’s just enough to live on. I have a bike thankfully and the days I get where my sister comes to give me a break I cycle. It does my mental health so good and keeps me fit so I can do my job to my best ability. However if I hadn’t already had a bike I’d of never been able to afford one with the wage I’m on.

    OMG I have seen this same old BS repeated so many times. So much cleaning & sanding, only for it to happen again & again. The simplest solution is to just carry a thin soap bar. To immediately stop the noises, dress the rotor with dry soap bar on both sides, which will lubricate the rotor against squealing frequencies, while also providing smooth stopping power. The detergent action of the soap will keep the brake components clean over time. No need to dress the pads, as the soap will immediately transfer from dressed rotor to pad.
