MTB Wannabe: S is for...?
http://bikeblurb.blogspot.com/2006/05/s-is-for.html
Random ramblings about fixing up my bike and riding it. . hopefully! Friday, May 26, 2006. As I imagine any MTBer does when he/she/it is in the process of giving their bike a makeover, I came across the issue of which shifting brand(s) to go with. The big two being, of course, Shimano. All the bikes I've previously ridden have been equipped with Shimano of some form or another so I've decided to give SRAM a try. Posted by ugli-stix at 5/26/2006 03:14:00 PM. Links to this post:.

MTB Wannabe: Saddle Sore
http://bikeblurb.blogspot.com/2006/05/saddle-sore.html
Random ramblings about fixing up my bike and riding it. . hopefully! Monday, May 29, 2006. Got myself some more parts. Following on from my SRAM decision I've gone and purchased (again from eBay):. SRAM PG980 9 speed cassette. SRAM PC991 9 speed chain. When the shifters turned up they didn't have any cable hosing - so I got myself a Transfil Black Snake Gear Cable set. I guess I'll find out soon enough! Posted by ugli-stix at 5/29/2006 01:20:00 PM. Links to this post:. View my complete profile.

MTB Wannabe: Cable worries
http://bikeblurb.blogspot.com/2006/06/cable-worries.html
Random ramblings about fixing up my bike and riding it. . hopefully! Tuesday, June 06, 2006. Just a follow up on the status of my brakes. The front brake is still useless and I'm still thinking of ideas - currently along the lines of spacing out the disc from the hub far enough to mount the caliper on the outside of the fork mount. On the rear brake issue I've decided to follow some advice from the people down at the MBUK. I'll hopefully be able to secure it to my frame without tacky looking zip-ties.

MTB Wannabe: May 2006
http://bikeblurb.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Random ramblings about fixing up my bike and riding it. . hopefully! Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Well - following yesterday's discovery that the paint job on the Cinder Cone is not very resistant to scratching and chipping, I have done something drastic. I've bought a new frame. Its ok though - its a Kona, but not a Cinder Cone. Its a 2005 Kona Blast. And the forks for free! Oh well - so ends the dream of renovating the old Cinder Cone frame!

Perhaps. Programming and Web Design? Tuesday, May 30, 2006. Quite randomly I noticed today that of my three blogs on blogspot.com, two of them have the blogger.com url bar logo but this blog has a generic internet/world logo given to it by Firefox. Strange.

Technological Nourishment: June 2006
http://technoblurb.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Perhaps. Programming and Web Design? Wednesday, June 21, 2006. Although I've had my Mac for a few years now, every once in a while I stumble across a program that I had never known existed. Today I found Omnigraffle. For those who haven't used or heard of Omnigraffle, let me give you a quick intro: its a standalone application that is part of the Omnigroup. One of the nice things about this program is its simplicity. To build a flow chart you simply drag the required shapes off of the "FlowChart" pal...

The front brake was fixed with a lot more fiddling of the positioning of the caliper's mounting position on the forks. Posted by ugli-stix at 6/12/2006 11:56:00 AM. Links to this post:.

Random ramblings about fixing up my bike and riding it. . hopefully! Monday, June 05, 2006. I just can't stop. Now here's my problem(s):. That's how my bike currently stands. For the rear I'm left with the option of buying new cable housing (which apparently Transfil don't do separately! For the front I have no idea what to do.
