  Re: Another psi question         


Author: unibikeling
Date: Dec 26, 2008 23:20

i ride at 1psi per 10lbs of body weight + 10.

that sets me at around 24psi for my normal running. Well, If i'm doing
bigger stuff, i like it to be around 30 or so, or more. (got a snakebite
flat one day that i was supposed to be riding with trial bicyclists, had
to go and patch my tire with my LAST 2 patches.)

run it really high, get comfy with that, then lower it. Thats what i
sometimes do.

I have used both the T7 and the stock Coker handle on my new Big One.

I greatly prefer the Coker handle. I like that the bar ends are
separately attached, allowing adjustment of the angle. Having upright
bar ends makes a HUGE difference in being able to take weight out of the
seat on longer rides. I'ts just more comfortable.

The double bar (pi bar) Coker design is very sturdy. I would always
feel the T7 move when I mounted. No movement with the Coker bar.

A problem I see with the T7 is the twisting caused by only having a
single attachment point back to the mounting bracket. I would guess that
this is a major cause of breakage.

The double bar Coker design is superior to the single bar T7, IMHO. I
don't see why the T7 could use 2 bars, welded on either side of the seat
bracket.

  Pedal problems!         


Author: sigve
Date: Dec 26, 2008 03:57

Okay, I've got a problem with my pedals. I got some twisted plastics I'm
planing to use this winter, but one of the pedals I cant seem to get
off.
Yes, I am turning it the right way, and I'm sure.
It goes half way, and then It just stops. I've tried pretty much
everything, and nothing works. I've even tried to hit it the wrench key,
or whatever, with a big hammer, but it doesn't go off! (Yes, I realise
it is totally ruined now, but it is anyway!)
It works fine to ride, but can't take it off!
What do I do?

Mine built about 5 wheels of various sizes for me for half price.
Including custom cut spokes. For one wheel they had to cut about 8
different sizes too because the wheel was bent.

Now they are charging me full price, but they still do an awesome job,
and whenever they finish it, they always have me inspect it, then make
sure everything is good, make me stress test it for a couple days then
retrue it if there are any problems.

The last wheel they built even used double butted spokes.
