Technical Tuesday: Chain Wear
Hum ... Park Tool marking great tool but that CC-2 Chain checker is crap. I tested it on a brand new out of the box chain and it was showing 50% wearing. Personally I use Shimano or a mesuring tape. Those are way more accurate!

Hayes Prime Brakes - Sea Otter 2010
I'm just curious if it will work like the previous Stroker generation. You know the one that wasn't breaking with a bad lever feeling ....

Cove Handjob and Shimano Alfine hub - Review
Where did you see a poor review of the hub there?
Unless you can't read or you have predefine opinion on a product before riding it, this is what he said about the hub:
1- revised trigger shifter that appears to address most of my major criticisms of the hub
2 - The hub offers a clean setup that requires minimal maintenance and, when combined with a frame built for single speeds, provides a slick minimalist look. Although the Alfine hub isn’t rated for rigorous off road use, I didn’t have any mechanical issues with the hub over many days of riding on a few hundred kilometers of trail. I felt that the weight of the wheelset was anchor like at times, so I spent more time cruising on the Handjob than I do on other bikes but aside from that, it was business as usual. It climbed well enough and screamed through descents in a capable fashion that, to be honest, surprised me a bit.
Ride it you will see.
I'm using it to go work and light cross country action for the past year in any conditions (winter/rain/mud) and it never failed me and always got precise speed changes. I only need to clean and oil my chain to get a perfect shifting all the time. You just need to keep in mind that you are riding an internal speed system and not a 15omm axle and you will love it!
