I have what I believe to be a 1989 420 (grey with bright teal decals) – is this of interest to you?

Thanks a ton. I’ve owned this computer for years and inadvertently switched it to km/hr a few weeks ago. Could NOT get it back…until now. Sigh of relief…

Oh, how I love sites like this. Had the same issue with a dead computer and no manual. Thanks to all the posts I was able to get it up and running!

I tried to use the car bike rack for repairs but I found that I could not keep up. And when I could, it was hard to hold the wrenches steady and run at the same time.

Looking to identify year of a Trek 7100 Multi-Track I purchased. It’s Silver w/black on frame. Has no front shock suspension – has seat post suspension.. 21-speed – gears on hand grips have clear plastic “boxes” you see the numbers through. Tire is Bonrager 700/38. Only part of SN I can find is “TB10407″ Thanks!

Based on perfect vision of hindsight, I just paid too much for a used Trek 700 hybrid 18spd “tange chromoly frame made in taiwan.”
ok…… but just want more info and am very confused by ways of determining age/year. Bought it at a reputable used bike dealer. Obviously has been sitting in someone’s garage and not used much. I want for a 6 mile flat commute. serial # is T2JA00114.Thx,Susan

Comment on Hutchinson Quartz bike tires by Rob

Dave, I had no problem with the rubber. The tires were actually kind of fast, and seemed to handle okay. It’s just that they were flat prone. They apparently didn’t have enough protection against punctures. I am currently riding Bontrager Race Lite Hardcase tires, and I haven’t had a single flat with them.

Is the Rubber too soft on the Hutchinsons?

I recently picked up a Trek 930 that I’ll be using for an Xtracycle build.
The bike had a suspension fork on it and I want to replace that with a rigid
fork that will take a disc brake.

Do these stay on all the time? I don’t see an off button on mine. Thanks!

I’m with rob – been doing work with the bike on the bike rack behind my truck. Am going to build one like this with a wood base, wood post, and utilize one of the fold up racks on my garage wall to hold the bike

Comment on Garmin Edge 305/Cateye V3/Polar CS100B by kim

I have both the Garmin Forerunner and the Edge 305. However, I and ALL of my friends who have the Garmin Edge 305 have to return them every 4 to 10 months becuz they regularly become defective. I have returned 7 of them. The good thing is that Garmin doesn’t dare peep. They just accept the units and send out a refurbished replacement. They KNOW how crummy the quality control was on that model. I like the Garmin Edge 305 becuz of what it does. But, I hate its unreliability. As for a power meter, ibike, which I have, is by far the best deal, BUT do NOT get ANY of them except for the LATEST generation. The previous genereations have probs that were all rectified in the lastest models.

Very nice design. I also built my own stand for the same reason, but was not satisfied with my clamping design. I found some Bosch extruded aluminum that worked well for the main frame, but only had horizontal clamping which needed refined. I think I’ll incorporate your clamp design into mine and that will make mine acceptable. If I has seen this before buying the bosch, I would have used the pipe. Thanks for sharing. Best regards, Doug
