My fiancee will be moving to Cincinnati to study at College-Conservatory of
Music for the next two years.

A recommendation for a good bike shop will be appreciated.

Also, is there a laid-back (not those hormone filled shaved legs kind) 
cycling club there?  She wants to go for relaxing weekend 50 milers with
other cyclists in the area.

Thanks.

Does anyone have personal experience with the FastField F9
cycling computer, or the outfit that distributes it (Bike's
Peak in Beverly Hills, CA)?  It seems to be the only
computer which displays time, speed, and distance information
simultaneously (three lines), which sounds like a nice feature.

The proposed application is off-road riding on a mountain
bike.  I'd like to keep track of time and distance mostly, and
leave my wrist watch at home, but speed info would be neat too.

Hello there,

I am thinking about purchasing SCOTT Lemond II Clip-On Bars.

The bars come in 4 different extension sizes, 11, 12, 13, or 14 inches.

Does a method exist where I can measure my arms or another relevant part
of my body to determine which extension size would be best for me?

Thank you for any information you can provide.

	There is a very nice (and fast) tricycle built in England called
	the "Trice".  The following is the info about the US distributor
	from the FAQEcoCycle

Earth Friendly Transportation
5755 NW Fair Oaks Dr.
Corvallis, OR  97330
(503) 753-5178           The Trice is a recumbent tricycle, with
                       two wheels in front.  Touring $1495.
                       Speed model $1595.
                       Also imports Ross recumbent from England.
                       $2 for flyer, $9 for video tape.

	The University at ChristChurch NZ developed a nifty design
	they call the "Tricanter".  It might have been turned into
	a comercial product.

Good Luck.

Tange Shockblades got an excellent review in the October issue
of Bicycling Plus Mountain Bike.  They are lighter and cheaper
than Manitou forks, but perform just about as well, according to
the review by John Kukoda.  He says they have very little flex
due to a very stiff fork brace and beefy 1-1/8" legs:

"This allows very little torsional distortion and no detectable independent
leg compression, which translates to a predictable, accurate fork
for screaming descents and slow-speed maneuvering."

"By almost any criteria -- price, performance, weight, rigidity --
it's a winner."

Kukoda rides a tricked-out Manitou fork on his own bike, so he should
know what he's talking about.

My boyfriend and I have a Graber roof rack (bought because we couldn't 
believe the cost of Thule or Yakima! :-)  We are happy with the current
rack we have, though there was some stress involved in arriving at the
current configuration (meaning bikes mounted by the rear wheel and the
front forks --- front wheel off.)

We originally knew little about racks, and had no opinion 
between upright (wheels on) and front fork (front wheel off) mounting.
I don't know why we didn't do more research --- I think I tried to look
up roof carriers in Consumer Reports or one of the cycling magazines'
product comparison reviews, and found nothing but ancient information
about defunt models.

Anyway, the dealer recommended upright mounting.  I think it was also 
slightly cheaper.  After duly quizzing him about vibration and stability,
we bought it.  We assembled it carefully, double-checking the directions
at every step.  We mounted it on the car just as carefully.  We proudly
strapped on our bicycles, taking extra care because both are a bit pricey
and one was brand new.  We drove no more than two miles, when a bike flew
off the rack!  (Of course it was the new one:  Murphy knows all about
bicycles.)

Fortunately, we were going very slowly, and the only damage was some
chipped paint and an off-true wheel!  Oh, and a dent in the car
roof, but what's a car compared to a new bike :-)

We investigated, and are convinced it's a design flaw in the upright 
mounting system: it is designed for mountain-bike frame sizes and angles, 
or children's bikes.  It does not work well with adult road frames.  The 
dealer was convinced we were unmechanical dweebs who mounted the bike 
wrong.  (We aren't, and we didn't.)  However, he did let us exchange for 
the front fork mount system.

We have been using that for several years with pretty good satisfaction.
Our impression is that it might not be quite as well engineered for user 
convenience as the other brands;  on the other hand, maybe they just have
better advertising literature.  We haven't really had a chance for hands-on
comparison.  Either way, for $500 we're happy to put up with the difference
as long as it's dependable!

Hope this helps,

(*) For my purposes I am taking a good bicycle store to be one that stocks
a high variety of components, parts, tools, trainers, rollers, you name it.
Also, the prices should not be a lot higher than mail order (e.g. Trashbar
or Colorado). I don't care about service (I do that myself). Specifically,
I want to get a hubset, rimset, spokeset, to build myself a nice
wheelset :-). I am also interested in getting some headset toolset (e.g.
something to remove/reinstall the crown race).

Recommendations welcome.

I am looking for a rear rack that fits on my 4Runner.  Due to the lack

units, but those require usually a special towing hitch to be connected. 
 does anyone know about a working system that doesn't require any

I also have a Toyota pickup with fiberglas camper shell, and would like

there is no way to tie anything to the vehicle above tailgate level.

Thanks for any suggestions

I have the Stronglight; it works pretty well.  It is somewhat picky
to adjust.  The Al locknut is easy to round off if you're not a little
careful.  A friend has one that's got something like 30k miles on
it; that's why I got one.

I was thinking about putting an Onza headset on my mountain bike - it's
also roller bearing, cheaper and a little heavier.  Anybody know anything
about these?  I seem to recall that it uses a pinch bolt locknut, a
good idea for offroad, but I might be halucinating.

I am in the market for a hybrid bike. I don't need a mountain bike,
but just something to ride to work everyday. A touring bike seems a 
little too fragile. Of course I know nothing about such things (the
last bike I had was a 10 speed Gitane :) ). So if I could draw on that
incredible expertise out there I would appreciate any advice as to
what might be a good choice.

I will post a summary of responses for others who are interested.
Thanks.
