Thus spoked the keyboard of schounj@edmund.cs.andrews.edu (Jeff Schoun): >Hi, > >I am rideing my MTB to School evryday this winter, but snlow keeps >getting stuck in the fork in the bike, is thare an guard or something >that will help this? I am ridin an Trek 930, all stock but an vetta >seat. Do Rock Shocks lockup in the cold? Do Marazzices 300 lockup? >Is thare an training program for bikers for DOS or UNIX thats shareware? >If thare an training book you could recomend? Please E-mail, kuz I miss >messages sometimes in this new group I also ride my two mountain bikes in the winter. I got one MTB with fenders, carrying rack etc. for commuting, and an Cannondale 700 for off-road training (without fenders). I also get snow stucked between the fork, under the fenders, on the rear derailleur etc. I don't think there is anything you can do about it - snow is snow is snow is... My Cannondale is equipped with the old Rock Shock fork (pre mag20/30). It does not lock up in the winter, but due to the material used in the fork, you will get a feeling of a loose headset when it get cold outside. I got a fax from Rock Shox (US) where they can confirm this feeling, and there is nothing to worry about. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+--+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ * I went back to my mother, * Joern Yngve Dahl-Stamnes * * I said, "I'm crazy ma, help me!" * University of Trondheim * * She said, "I know how it feels son, * The Norwegian Institute of Tech. * * 'cause it runs in the family." * Division of Physical Electronics * * - The Who, Quadrophenia * e-mail: dahl-stamnes@delab.sintef.no * +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+--+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
