Re: good online stores of bike stuff

guest — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 20:48:07 GMT

I love my local bike shop. I just want to buy a sorta bulk amount of tubes for my bicycle and maybe some co2 cannisters too. I still like them to replace my chain, rewrapp my bars, put a new cassett on my bike.

good online stores of bike stuff

guest — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 18:40:25 GMT

I was wondering if there was any good stores online for buying stuff like tubes and co2 cannisters.

At the bike store I go to in my area tubes are like 6 bucks and the co2 cannister thing I bout was like 9 bucks for 2

So I spent 24 bucks on 2 tubes and 2 co2 cannisters. does anyone know any good sites where i could get these for

cheaper ???

I have the folding tires and the tires that are not and are already in a circle. Which ones are faster? Reason I ask is which would be better in a race?

pain in upper arms on long rides

guest — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 09:23:40 GMT

When I go on long bike rides. Either one arm or both arms start to hurt. most up in the top of the arm. Do I need to lift more weights to get my arms stronger to be able to deal with extend period of time I do that to my arms. Or just do more long bikes rides to get my arms used to it. and the only thing that helps it when I ride is not tensing up the arm at all and just letting it hang while i coast.

I live in alabama and Im 23 and 24 in sept. I want to go back to college. But I rather go back and go for computers but I also want to do cycling. Does anyone know any colleges that have biking teams. If anyone knows, just push me in the right direction.

knee problems

guest — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 13:27:13 GMT

When I would bike long distances my lower back would start to hurt. So I lower the gear and run a gear that has less resistance and problem is solved. But now I have another problem. I did this for like a couple of weeks. I did a 19miles, then a 38 miles, then a 45 mile bike rides. I did these bike rides 3 sundays in a row. When I was on the 45 mile one towards the end of the ride my left knee would hurt. But it is like the left part of the knee would hurt and it would hurt when it bent. I mean I could walk and it be fine. But it hurt mostly when I did the bending motion of the bike. I finished the bike but that muscle on the side of my knee would hurt. Now it still sorta hurts. But I really aggrivated it when I did a 70 mile bike ride. It hurts a little still but not as bad. Has this happen to anyone else?

weight training

guest — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 06:07:47 GMT

I've been biking for almost 2 years now. Ever since I lost my car I bike. I started out with a mountain bike and I now have a Felt road bike. I have ridden to work which is 3.5 miles away every day. And when I need to go some where else i bike there. And I do an occasional long distance bike.

But through all of this I feel like my speed hasn't increased much. What can I do as far as weight training.

and I have one more question, when I do long riding my lower back starts hurting really bad. I tried pulling up the seat and that doesn't work. I got somthing to make my handle bars higher. I think they need to be higher. But what else can i do to make my back no hurt on long rides.
