/very small cable movement with the shifting of the lever. what could be
wrong? looks like no place to adjust for this issue. Thanks. |

a try, failed, the chain just out of the smallest gear and messed up.fixed

发帖数: 421 | 4 got helmet, pump, lock and grease. btw: what kind of grease is good for
bicycle? the mini pump is really hard to get air in. no gauge attached
either. tried my best, but still can push down tire with hands. looks like
not enough? anyway, will try commute tomorrow with my laptop and lunch box,
maybe the last day of winter. |

bearing grease, best if waterproof. e.g. mobil1 bearing grease, available in
most autozone. |

发帖数: 421 | 9 my only complain is that the standover clearance is just enough. otherwise
it is fine. based on the geometry of 49 cm, which shows almost the same top
tube length, i guess it will be good too. i really want to try it, but donot
want to take the risk. obviously, bd will not encourage any kind of
exchange or refund. i didnot get response for the clarification of "original
package", though they do reply technical questions, such as brake set up. |

发帖数: 421 | 11 no, i raised the saddle a little bit, several minimeter? Not sure the 35c,
but feel good for the current one. really donot want to go wider on road,
too much labour. |

发帖数: 421 | 12 the saddle is really not comfortable. how to pick up a comfortable one?
based on what? also the saddle is all the way forward, thus i guess a 49 cm
will work better in this case. |
