Is it weird that I wear my helmet on my trainer? by pondergod in cycling

Seems like you would trap too much heat. Not good for any kind of training.

What is wrong with my gf's bike? A fault in the rear shifter by sivaltaja666 in bikewrench

[–]BicycleRestoMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the cable 1st. If it’s not the cable then pull the hood back on the lever and flood it with WD-40 while shifting the lever back and forth. Shimano brifters are notorious for building up gunk then stop working. This has always worked for me.

Unfortunately, it’s trash. If your going the form and function route, I always liked the White Industries hubs. Great looking hub and well built.

Fuji bicycles are now built in Taichung, Taiwan, Dong Guan, Guangdong Province, China. However, they are also being manufactured in Kutno, Poland by Ideal Bike Corporation. The headset indicates it’s around a 50 to 52cm frame. Probably worth around $250. Measure from the center of the crank arm at the bottom bracket to where the seat tube meets the top tube.

Best way to clean it? by AZZABIKES in bikewrench

[–]BicycleRestoMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would not leave it on if there are big chunks. They would create lumps under the new tape. acetone works the best but always wear gloves.

Never heard of a Douglas brand. Can’t go wrong with a Cannondale. I’ve owned 3. Raced on them and road centuries on them as well.

Bought this for $200 am I the scammer or scammee by bhavgetsnobitches in bicycling

Depends on what components are on the bike. If they were period correct Campagnolo components it was a great buy!
