What an interesting conversation! I had no idea when I originally asked.
Now I see that what Deacon does works for Deacon and what Doug, or
Patrick, or Rich, or.. anyone else does probably works for them and not
just because of physics but because of lifestyle and personality.

Yes, being young helps, but typically on most BMX bikes (especially 20"ers of

I use an Abus Bordo Granite (heavy but very well rated) to go thru the
frame and rear wheel and whatever I am locking the bike to, and a Tigr Lock
to lock the front wheel to my frame. Both locks mount to my frame. I also
tend toward being over insured.

For cleaning, I mostly hose off the drivetrain after a dusty ride, bounce the
bike a few times and dry in the sun, and then wipe down the chain. Sometimes I

I should be clear: For success with MSW, clean the chain thoroughly for the
first application; thereafter, no need to clean, just dunk it in and let
soak.

1. The Restivus bag attachment: When you bolt it to the rails of a
modern saddle like a Flite, with rails that slant up in back at an
obtuse angle from the horizontal clamped part -- ie, not like those of
the B 17 which at the rear are almost vertical -- do the loops point

I have recently switched over to NFS lube after years of using Boeshield. I am finding that the NFS lasts much longer and needs to be reapplied less frequently. It also keeps the drivetrain very quiet and the chain stays clean. I was skeptical that 12 drops world be enough to work but it does.htt

Hi All!
Hoping you can help me with your center pull knowledge
Before I start, I tried Jan Heine/RH but I think they are on light staff

I saw that someone was selling one of these in 175mm, which is unfortunately
too long to match the 170mm drive side arm that I already have. Anybody got a
170mm they don’t need?
This is for the Sugino crankset that came as OEM on the original Quickbeams.

I would say the Cross Check is more comparable to the QB. The Steamroller
has quite a bit steeper geo.

You mention pad holders so I assume the brake shoes are of the type with a
replaceable pad. I'd try one piece shoes as the next experiment. I've wondered
if pads of that type not being fully seated in their holders could be a source

Hi Alex
I don't have bikes with centerpulls, but I had squealing issues with my RH
cantilever brakes.
Long story short, I swapped from salmon pads to black pads (using same
holders), and after several times of riding, they ceased to squeal.
I've read (in comment section of RH blog, I think) that
I've owned:
- Cross Check (62 cm)
- Quickbeam (64 cm)
- BMC Monstercross (62 cm)
- Soma Wolverine (62 cm)
- Mercier Kilo WT (62 cm) (like a long reached Steamroller)
- and too many others to list
Honestly, among those six bikes, they all rode within a good day/bad day of
each other. That is, no b

As anyone who is looking at bikes recently will find, there are not many
available. Of those mentioned, only a cross check is available locally.
Craigslist is becoming less of a resource, likely where the more vintage bikes
could be found. I’m considering the cross check strongly but have a stro

I just chased down squealing brakes, and changing the height where the pad hits
the rim finally fixed it.
Toeing the brake OUT actually stopped the squeal, too, but I didn’t leave it
like that.

Phillip I've spent days on this by now, without exaggerating 😂 I like to
