I bought one of these last night before riding home. ![](http://www.cyclebucket.com/images/knoggekko.jpg) Uber impressed, mind you I was using a mini led torch cable tied to my bars before hand so this is a large improvement. Also 1 x white chain to impress the girls ---

trued my new front wheel at the nunnery, laced the rear going back to true it on monday night … who knew lacing/truing would be fun…got my OCD fix in one hour rather than having to touch every yellow letterbox and car with a number plate starting with ‘T’ i passed on the way home. will hand sand my frame to perfection next when alll the wheels laced… post when done. ---

On my Europa, I fixed a flat (front wheel), replaced a tube (rear wheel), took my cranks off, tightened the bottom bracket, wrapped teflon tape around the NDS cup to hopefully stop this happening again, all while watching the Simpson’s. Thinking of pulling the whole bike all apart this weekend though give it a new paint job. Thinking a metallic black to cover up the crappy half gloss / half-matte chipped paint on there at the moment. ---

Tried to find a noise on my bmx, but I couldnt. I think its coming from my cranks, but after riding around for a few hours lastnight it dissapeared. I broke a seat of cranks last year hitting a wallride, and hope it never happens again. I’ll keep an eye on them. I also raised the seat on my big ass RAM about half an inch. ---

replaced the tyres and changed ratio - 50/19. old wheel back on and its all looking much nicer. however when i went to ride up the street i found my cranks slipped rougly one half rotation - walked the bike home and removed the cog then replaced it and tightened it - what could this be the result of? just not tightened enough?
