Bio:
My doctor told me recently that I better get in shape or he was going to put me on cholesterol medicine. So I started eating a little better, but exercising like a madman. I am working out 3 times a week and riding my new (new to me) Cannondale R5000 about 100 miles a week. In the first year I lowered my medical test scores enough so I don't need drugs. I have a wife and 3 daughters and we like water sports, stunt and traction kite flying, tent camping, and anything that gets us outdoors.
I am starting to find people to ride with here and I rode in my first bicycle event recently. The "Horrible Hundred" in Clermont, FL. It goes over the highest hill in Florida, 300 feet!!. Hard to believe, I know.

Eagle Creek Comfort Plus Neck Pillow
March 29, 2009
Not for use in a swimming pool. This goes around your neck and could be dangerous. One of the most uncomfortable feelings is when your ski vest rides up around your neck. I just can't imagine anyone putting something around their neck in the water on purpose.

Sidi Bullet 2 Bike Shoe - Women's
March 10, 2009
Sidi is one of the best. However, this is a mountain bike shoe. Doing triathalons, you will want a Women's specific tri shoe. They usually have fewer straps (2 instead of 3) to make the transitions quicker. Do you have cleats on your shoes now? If you do, you will want to make sure the shoe you buy is compatible with what you are using. If you don't clip into your pedals now, you will need to buy pedals as well. The cleats come with the pedals but need to be compatible with the shoe. The Shimano SPD-SL and Look pedals are a couple of the more popular ones found on this website. Most of the road or triathlon shoes will be compatible with those pedals. It should say in the description though. Shimano is also a good shoe. You should check with some of the people you are doing the triathlons with and see what they are using. When you actually want to order something, you can click on "TALK TO GEAR EXPERTS" at the bottom of this page and they will help you get the right stuff. Remember, backcountry has a lifetime satisfaction guarantee on everything they sell. If you don't like it, send it back and get your money back! Welcome to cycling and have fun out there!!

The difference between top and down swing is where the derailleur sits in relationship with the clamp.· top swing (derailleur on top of the clamp)· down swing (derailleur under the clamp)Most frames will take top swing, but not all will take down.

Inno Racks Upright Bike Lock
March 9, 2009
If the bolt is holding something together, grease may not be the best choice. And the grease has a knack for finding it's way to your clothes. I would opt for some appropriate colored rustoleum. Just get a little can and use a small brush and cover the part that looks corroded. You can try brushing off any loose particles with an old toothbrush (not the wife's) before you carefully apply the paint only where you need it.
