(Yes, I'm coming in through motzarella. I don't have access to

My stolen first bicycle (Specialized Crossroads 2006 HU8) was found by
the police a year later and returned to me. Mostly; the back wheel (with
Nexus 8 hub), back brakes (and lever), and ...

how do I measure my bb?
Mon, 22 Sep 2008 12:20:45 -0700 (PDT)
I started fiddling to stop a creak and now the kn ckered BB is out
and the bike still hanging there.
What do I need to measure to identify the bb as 68mm or 73mm? The old
one does not say on it.
I must say all those I have fitted previously I just bought without
checking this , so far as I remember.
I am lo ...

Hi

Suggestions for new commuter please.
Mon, 22 Sep 2008 03:35:07 -0700 (PDT)
My current commuter is an old (24sp) Dawes Giro 300, converted to
lower ratios to allow for the steep hills and my arthritic knees.

something with conventional gears (not hub gears) and non caliper
brakes (too much maintenance). I like to do most of ...
