    What is the best chain lube for bikes ?

    The best chain oil for a bike is BICYCLE chain oil sold at a real bike shop. WD-40 IS NOT a lubricant. It's meant to knock off rust and/or loosen bolts, nuts, etc. Engine oil is terrible...too thick & attracts dust, dirt & other debris. Now that you've screwed up the chain, get that bike to...

    I'm new to bicycling what seat is the most comfortable?

    On a mountain bike NEVER get one of those wide seats! Period! It will just chafe your inner thighs & the 'family jewels' more. Your question brings up more questions. Do you ride on a regular basis? Are you used to going 20 - 25 miles at a time on a regular basis? If not, you have to build...

    How to hold a Starbuck's Frappucino while riding a bike?

    Unless you can pour the drink into a container that fits into a water bottle cage on a bike...it's stupid alright. Your word - not mine.

    Seat post for a 2002 Specialized Bighit Comp?

    Are you looking for the correct size, or what brand to get? If size is the issue, and you still have the old one, the size will be stamped in very small print on it somewhere. Remove the old one, wipe it off & get out the zoom lenses.

    Local bike shop vs Online retailer?

    I run into the same dilemma from time to time. If my LBS is close on the price - I'll usually go with him. If there's a vast difference - save yourself some $$$. Yes, there's a recession going on. It effects not only the business man but the consumer as well. I've bought two bikes from...
