It'll be the next thing I do.

Edit: Starting to read up on clutches. Looks like South Bend or JWT have a more durable (slightly heavier) clutch/flywheel offering for FI cars.

Did it cause a worse situation when it went? I had a front tire on our tandem go out suddenly at 15+ mph leading into a turn, ended up in the grass against the embankment. No injuries (to us or the bike)but my Wife was not to happy since she was "along for the ride".

What kind of bike do you ride, mountain or road? I'm thinking a out getting a recumbent and selling my Santana tandem and my Marin racing bike.

Did a test fitment of my new setup today to make sure I had plenty of clearance with the brakes. Can't wait to have them on.

Negative. Didn't even realize it was down til I got home. Good sized chunk of glass found it's way into my tire.

I own a Specialized Sirrus Sport. Nothing fancy, but it does me well...

Yeah man, it was a great day!

Crazy thing on my way home tonight; while on 495 just after getting off 95, I changed lanes from behind someone in the fast lane doing like 70 and gave it a little push just to kinda get ahead of some traffic but very quickly dropped back down to 70...when suddenly I see a car FLY up behind me - had to be doing a good 90. The car gets right on my ***, and I figured to myself, maybe this person thought I was going to really take off. Well, they probably did - suddenly I got the spotlight! I was like..oh ****...but I just kept driving along because no lights. When there was a break to the right, MDST move to the right and takes off then takes the next exit. **** was wild...
