Wilsons Sandbox

What I would give to have a 2-car garage, or even a shed! I have a small patio on the side of my cottage where I park my one bike that's old and tired, Its open air and I have a porch swing there I can sit on. I can't keep much else out there as the wind speeds in the winter months average 45knots or more. I have a small hand carry toolbox with Kmart type wrenches and screwdrivers and what not, I have torn down my whole left side eng with my meager set of tools. If I need parts for my A1 it takes at least a week to get here in the mail as there is not any cycle shops here. If I want to hear the stereo I can turn it up pretty loud in the house and I can here it pretty well out side. BUT, I'm not down about it because I'm happy to have a bike and to be here on this island. In April I'll be moving to Germany and definitely am going to get a house with a garage to park my A7 that's in storage right now along with my tools...That will be cool. (Van is going to hook me up in Germany) Timan

little play before bringing the cable taunt as you draw it in. Then as you draw the lever in, I would say not more than 1/5 of the way, the clutch disengages. Isnt this set a bit early to disengage?

Same thing with mine, I just figured it's a racing clutch designed to act quickly and with little pressure....I'm used to it so I don't mind. dat brooklyn bum
