Your point does not appear to counter mine.
H-Gs may have only spent 4 hours per day H-Ging, but they certainly

they would starve. There were no freezers in the Serengeti 100,000

Keen sandals often work for me. Usually prefer a 4E shoe. Or Teva

In the alternative, anything wide by New Balance also seem to work as

In my many years of dealing with sealed bearing hubs, I have never
seen anyone at a shop use a specialized tool to remove or install
bearings. Generally they get knocked out with a metal punch of some

Well, this has provoked some interesting discussion. However, there are
a few point that jump out at me.
First is that our hunter-gatherer ancestors developed agriculture, which
suggests that somehow hunting and gathering were considered somewhat
faulty who lived that lifestyle. If hunting a

I based the topic on a blog entry by Grant Petersen. Of Rivendell

bicycles and the associated lifestyle, which I would think includes
Grant's musings on exercise, a topic he has broached many times in

These bearings are super easy to service.

I had a cartridge bearing stuck in my Suntour Cyclone hub. The id of
the hub is smaller than the id of the bearing, so you can't come in
through the hub to the back side of the bearing to knock it out with a
screwdriver or punch because there is no "lip" to catch on. So I

Patrick, what about the 185's do you prefer over the Noodle's? Is it
that you dislike the Noodle flat ramp?
