Damn Good New Link...

How have I gone this long without finding this link?: ROGUE MECHANIC
Damn good site for info for someone like me who has less mechanical ability than a 4 year old girl.

Oh come on now Jason, don't be so hard on yourself, not being able to read a dutch manual doesn't mean that there's someting wrong with you! Lol!
Good link indeed. I used to go to Parktools' before this.

I wish there would be a site like that where they teach me how to work on my '79 VW Camper, that would be awesome!

By the way thanks for your enthusiastic words on the Ergon grips. I finally pulled the switch yesterday and got a pair of GC2's. I was in doubt between these and buying a second Mary bar. I'm using the last on my SingleTrek (get it?) but was afraid the fit would be to leisurly.
So far they feel really well on the first ride on tarmac. I might have to dail em in a little more when I go offroad.

Take care, Niek

Dutch, English, Japanese, it doesn't matter. None of it makes sense! HA!

79 Camper? Sweet!! I love those things!

I think you'll love the grips. They do take some time to dial in perfect, but once you do your hands will love you.

Thanks

J,

Thanks for the link, I'm with you on the four year old girl thing. When I do my on maintenance it's more like "where the hell do I put this."

Niek,

You just gained a blog reading.

J,

On your Ergon's. What size are you running the S or L?

Travis,

I run the Large with bar ends. I use both them both with SRAM twists and with SRAM triggers.

If you have smaller hands of course you would want to go smaller. I based mine on my glove size. I take either a Large or XL glove, so I went L with the Ergons.
