Shimano Deore SL-MT62 7 Speed Thumb Shifter Real Exploded View of Parts Rebuild

NOT as simple as I - and probably y'all thought eh?? But not that complex either. Just the right amount I guess.  Gotta love Japanese stuff.

The State of Pro Cycling - Post-USADA Dope Scandal

2 words for you: UNITED KINGDOM.

Or Great Britain, British Isles, heck even England.
THIS is where the BEST action in protour ROAD CYCLING is at.

Another 2 for you:  Bradley Wiggins & Chris Froome!

And finally, 1 bomb to drop on ya:  They have already slated the 2014 Tour de France is not starting in France. It will begin in...you guessed it, the UK!

But, alas, this upcoming Tour will be in boring old France :P...!...Corsica to be exact but fear not!
This 2013 Tour de France is....the 100th one!  Sweet!  This centennial cycling sweetness will get a record number of people all over this sick globe watchin', cheerin', bettin' and...travelling? To France to actually see n feel n smell the sweat o these sick, sexy(?) super cyclists of the world??  Oh yeah, I'll go, Lord and finances - willing!  Sigh....we shall see....we shall see indeed...at least on the tele on ch98 or at least on steephill.tv ;)

Ride On!

Thanks Yuri H. for the steephill.tv tip!

Most Comfortable Bicycle Bike Seat Saddle

For a skinny 130 - 140lb., 30+yr.-old, Asian male. Tried 10 relevant saddles before settling on these:

1. WTB Speed She

2. WTB Pure V

3. Try any WTB saddles!

No, I do not work for WTB. But, I am a year-round cyclist in Toronto and have worked for bike shops since 2000 and am currntly gainfully employed as the service manager at a busy downtown bicycle shop.

BROOKS? Havent tried yet. But, I will, come spring with the classic B17. Currently on the WTB Speed She...if only they'd make it lighter and longer! :I But, alas, yes, it is a "women's" saddle :P...but my goodness is it ever comfortable!

Thank God for NORCO who is the big distributor of WTB saddles to all your local independent bicycle shops in Canada. But, of course, u cn get a WTB product anywhere in the world.  So get one and sit on it!

Ride On!
