Timmyd - I get numb toes an hour into each ride. I'm going to take your gracious advice and give superfeet a try, but I have a couple of follow-up questions. My cycling shoe is Sidi (size 42). Which type of insole should I get? Yellow? The description said they are good for road cycling...

That's right. Shifts alot better now too. Guess it was worth all of the bother.

Yeh, looks like there may have been issues with the bb install. Cranks appear to be fine. Hopefully all is good now.

Hallowtech II ?? On the back of the crank is etched Shimano 175 FC-M580/581/582/583 Update: Found order info from Jenson. Purchased 4/2010 for $85 SHIMANO LX FC-M582 CRANKSET 175mm, 44-32-22

Non-drive side crank keeps falling off. Ruined two of my rides. Are they toast? Didn't even last a year. :(

Saw the Subaru/IMBA vehicle with bikes on roof rack at the intersection of International Drive and Rt 46 the other day. Must have been visiting Allamuchy? :hmmm:

Ally - really like the white stem too. Did you get away with using all the parts from your old bike or did you have to buy a lot of additional items? We're going to build up a rigid bike with a $79 nashbar 14" frame for our daughter. Figured we would just keep changing out the frame as she...

Fenders? This may be considered unfashionable, but do any of you use fenders? My in-house bike mechanic cringed at the suggestion. :hmmm:

Picked up an inexpensive tail light at the LBS and a reflective ankle strap. Didn't have any time to mail order or shop around. Have a small group going out for this ride in a day or two. Have some reflective gear: Vista headlamp with reflective headband and also have reflective elements on...

Since the trails are too wet to ride and it's dark out after work, I found a 12 mile road loop that I am considering trying at night on my mountain bike. The first half of the ride is on a terrible road that has pot holes, loose gravel, ravines, Deliverance house, no street lights, desolate, no...

That bike is way too sexy for my kid. :p Thanks for the lead on the frame. Hope to see you out on the trails soon.

Ally - I'm very interested in finding out what frame you got and how the build up went? I'm considering doing the same thing for one of my daughters who's about your height. Was going to get a frame and build it up with components off of my old stumpy that I'm no longer riding. Please keep us...

Yeh, she's great. Mowed the entire lawn with a push mower yesterday because my husband's back is severely out. She's a keeper. Thanks for all of your responses. There appears to be a consensus on what should be done. I appreciate your help.

The kids had a great time today at JH. It was a real confidence booster for them. They want to go back and ride tomorrow. Too bad it is an hour ride for us, we would be there every weekend. We didn't get any pictures. If anyone has a picture of the gargoyle, I'd greatly appreciate it if...

Yeh, we'll be riding by Wavin' Willies on the way to field hockey practice in the morning. So we'll get in 3 Weird NJ's that I know of. Goin' to have the kids check it all out on the Weird NJ website...so they are good and creeped out for the ride. :D
