Well my repair attempt didn't hold up. I've had to replace my repaired Tufo tires with a new spare because the repair failed. The hole in the tire kept on leaking air. From the looks of it, the super glue doesn't doesn't bond well to the rubber. I might try a different glue like Gorilla glue or the new Elmers Ultimate glue.
I wiped-out on the way home from work yesterday. I was at the intersection of 6th and Stewart in downtown Seattle trying to beat a light when my chain broke. I was peddling hard out of the saddle at the time so I came crashing down onto the pavement when the chain snapped.
When I got home tonight I found a big box from Inside Ride on my front porch courtesy of FexEx Ground. My E-Motion rollers had arrived. After getting my bike into the garage I brought the box inside and rushed upstairs to take a quick shower.
I've been riding with the PowerCranks for almost 5 months now and I've seen big gains in both power and 'fluidness' in my peddling. I'm not too entirely sure if my power gains can be attributed to the PowerCranks since I just started cycling a few months before I got the PowerCranks and I had very little power to begin with.
August 11th, 2005 was the day I recieved my Litespeed Tuscany from PreownedBikes.com. This is the first road bike I've had in over 15 years.
I recieved my Powercrank xLite yesterday and installed them on my road bike. The installation process wasn't too hard as long as you follow the instructions.
My wife and I rode the 2005 Tour de Whidbey on Saturday, September 24. This ride was held on Whidbey Island which is an island locaed in the Puget Sound just northwest of Seattle. There were three different routes to choose from, a century, a half century and a 25 mile ride. My wife rode the 25 mile ride while I chose the to ride the full century.
I was gaining weight every year and feeling pretty crapy health wise so I started thinking about starting an excersise program in order to loose weight and get fit. The hard part was trying to figure out a way to fit excersise time into my busy schedule. It so happened that a few of my workmates cycled to work daily which got me thinking - why don't I ride to work?
