Mountain bike maintenance
is something that is easy to learn if you know how. For
hands on experience speak to your LBS - local
mountain bike shop
and ask them if you can spend a couple of hours in their
bike workshop. Some of them also offer mountain bike
maintenance courses. You can also checkout one of the
fine bicycle repair books available like
and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance or any
mountain bike maintenance books available.
Or just checkout our
mountain bike maintenance and repair guide below.
We will be expanding this
section regularly with detailed articles on the the
different topics with how to's and tips on keeping your
bike in tip top shape. Join
our mailing list and we will let you know when we
update this section.
Maintaining your
bike in good working order is as easy as 1-2-3.
Follow these easy steps to keep you bike well
maintained and avoid breakdowns.
1. Bike wipe & check - after a ride - about
every 50km
Front Shock – Wipe
stanchions and ensure dust seals are clean and
oil free
Rear Shock – Wipe and ensure dust seal is clean
Run chain through dry clean cloth. Wipe old lube
off chainrings. Re-lube chain.
A quick check to see that
everything is working, best to be done at the
end of the day so that any repairs, adjustments
can be done before the next day
2. Bike wash - when your bike looks dirty,
before a race or after a muddy ride
Washing a mountain
bike can be quick and easy if you have a plan
and the right tools. In 5-10 min you can give
you bike a wash that will make it look like new.
The full bike wash will take a bit longer and is
only necessary after a couple of weeks or when
you feel like bonding with your bike.

3. Bike Tools
- Get the right tools to do basic DIY
Maintaining your
own bike is not nearly as complicated as it seems. A
good way to learn is to start slowly, gain confidence
and build up a set of
bike tools as you progress. If your
bike needs a service, rather spend the money buying a
couple of tools and then do it yourself.

4. Bike Gears Setup
and Adjusting
Adjusting and
setting your mountain bike gears is really quite
simple. There are a few basic rules that need to
be followed in order to understand what should
be setup and what should be adjusted. The
difference is that the setup items are done only
once and never again unless the part is removed
or replaced.
Identifying gear shifting problems

World doctors get tough on tobacco
Organisations representing 10 million doctors around the world are urging their governments to agree a strong new treaty to curb tobacco use.
According to the World Medical Association, the measures are required to cut the 4.9 million deaths a year from smoking-related diseases.
The doctors' demands are being presented in Geneva to the World Health Organisation (WHO) which is currently negotiating the first international public health treaty on tobacco control.
The convention is due to be agreed by the WHO's 192 member countries by May next year.
'Life-shattering effects'
The increasing health problems related to smoking, particularly in developing countries, where the tobacco trade is largely unregulated, is described by doctors as an epidemic.
"Physicians see on a daily basis the life-shattering effects of tobacco use for those who smoke and those who inhale the tobacco of others," said WMA Secretary-General Dr Delon Human.
Doctors, he added, should stand together "to prevent this epidemic", he added.
The doctors' manifesto is calling for:

Hey flyred I thought you called lawyers "the beady eyed hand puppets of Satan"
Hey flyred I thought you called lawyers "the beady eyed hand puppets of Satan"
It's not just snakes to look out for, with the Clinch releases this week so strong, I made a quick trip Tuesday night to one of my Smokey mountian after work holes to get a fix. On the way back I turned into Metcalf near dusk to take advantage of the bathroom facilities. I was talking to a gentleman and his wife about his fishing day when he said " Is that a coyote?". Not more than 20 yards from us working between the picnic tables like a bird dog on point was a good sized coyote about the size of a small thin german shepherd. Seeing one that close and not caring about us at all was kind of startling, he never looked at us and could have cared less. There wa a family in the next parking area so gave them a heads up and headed home. So now add coyotes to the snake, bear, falling limbs, too fast water, and crazy tourists list!
"It starts with a raindrop, don't let it end with a teardrop!"
"Nothing straightens out my mind like a twisting mountain stream!"
Follow the Great Smoky Mountain Trout Unlimited website:
Being afraid of coyotes is a little over the top. There is almost no critters in the east which pose a threat to a reasonably intelligent person who doesn't do idiotic things
Unless your four years old, from Ohio and holding a Bojangles chicken leg at a picnic table!
"It starts with a raindrop, don't let it end with a teardrop!"
"Nothing straightens out my mind like a twisting mountain stream!"
Follow the Great Smoky Mountain Trout Unlimited website:
Here is a good coyote story that happened to me at night in Cades Cove a few years back. Imagine being surrounded by what sounded like a hundred Coyotes closing in on you at once and you will get the picture
Of course these circumstances don't normally happen and coyotes don't normally scare me except for this once.
Adam Beal
Hey Jack (JAB)...
I've been coming out of south Alabama swamp after dark when they get cranked up all around you in the dark. So close you can hear them in the leaves. First time is a little unsettling but after a second you realize there is no danger and having a high powered rifle helps ease the tension as well
I imagine having a high power rifle soothes most wildlife tensions
On snakes, when I lived in Alabama we would wade rivers for bass and the cottonmouths were numerous. It wasn't uncommon to see a dozen or more in a day. It gets unnerving late in the day when visibility goes down, but luckily none of us ever got bit. I respect the venomous snakes in the south, but am not afraid of them. I give them their space and watch where I put vulnerable body parts while out and about

The archaeology of London shows some small farming settlement around
Charlton, but nothing of substance until the Romans decided it was the
best place for a bridge.

This is straight out of Geoffrey of Monmouth, iii 20 (Before the Romans
"Heli had three sons: Lud, Cassivelaunus and Nennius."
"When Lud died he was buried in the above named city, near to the
gateway which in the British tongue is still called Porthlud after him,
although in Saxon it bears the name Ludgate."
Very unlikely that G of M was right about King Arthur invading Iceland
and Rome in the 5th century.

Sorry I don't follow the connection of London to coal?.
This is from Nennius.

| this comment is in reference to the news aticle concerning "FDA says cloned animals are OK to eat". i think that the fda should change course when dealing with the safety of american public. instead of sleeping with business in most matters, "a news bulletin just in... the fda approves vioxx. (oops!) [Merck & Co., Inc. announced a voluntary withdrawal of Vioxx (rofecoxib) from the U.S. and worldwide market due to safety concerns of an increased risk of cardiovascular events (including heart attack and stroke) in patients on Vioxx.]", this agency should look-out for the welfare of the citizens of the united states. on the cloning issue, this could be done by labeling on products sold to the consumer, or by putting a genetic marker in these animals as to distinguish them from normal livestock. this would cover the agency's ass and then when eventually you reverse course again, the american public will know who to hold liable.
