Like a BOSS, that’s how its standing.

Very nice Sir

[randymclane]

sounds like i am really late to the party here, however i am in the waterloo cedar falls area and am always down to ride

[randymclane]

I ride alone all the time, i just make sure to take it easy when riding solo

[randymclane]

Beverly Park was awesome, I was used to the “wussy” trials around the Waterloo area and got my ass kicked by Beverly. It was a really fun ride but again I was not mentally/physically ready for how tough it was. I will head back, not sure when but next time I will be ready.

I have been riding for 5 months now and I just bought a helmet, yes I was dumb but I thought hey I have very little up there so why spend the money, then a few hits to the head I decided brains or not it still hurts… its all about getting better but don’t be afraid to walk your bike, if you break something (bones or bike) it will take a while before you get back on that horse.

BB7 are on the bike and they are amazing! Thanks for the advice guys

[randymclane]

Turns out it wasn’t just dirty my back derailleur was also bent, its now fixed and good as new

[randymclane]

Wow, i am not the smartest person around. I cleaned it up really well last night and the sound is gone… Thanks

[randymclane]

I can feel it in my right foot when I peddle hard, I have had the bike since April and I took it in for a tune up in May

[randymclane]

I think I am going to hit up Beverly Park this weekend, thanks for the heads up

[randymclane]

and…How much ya bench?

Very good point, without that its WAY to hard to give out advice

[randymclane]

Agreed with all of the above, I am in Iowa and its going to be 99 with a heat index of 110+ tomorrow (7/4) I plan on going early before it gets too hot and making sure my camelbak is full of ice cold water…

[randymclane]

Again thanks for all of the info, i will try to clean them off and worst case i think i will go with the bb7’s…

Again thanks but the sounds of things i have A LOT to learn

[randymclane]

Thanks guys, I will start with the bike shop then move on to new pads and if needed will go with new breaks

[randymclane]

Sorry wasn’t thinking I should have included more info about the breaks

Tektro Novela mechanical disc brakes, 6-bolt, 160mm rotors

[randymclane]

I’ll try a few things and if that doesnt work i’ll block it out… Thanks
