... on these bicycle things ...

... just learned that shimano 10-pitch lock rings are differant than normal shimano track lock rings. ... that thin cups are differant than thick cups on italian bb's. and other makes are indecipheral. ... that some track bikes have differant seat post sizings, as do the seat rail widths. ... need i say bearing sizes ... metric vs whatever, euro shoe and jersey sizes, etc. ... thank goodness the pasta from my local store comes out the same length :) ... but dang ... how is someone supposed to acquire this knowledge outside of a normal life, obligations, etc. no wonder nobody rides these things ... would sooner have to deal with and older alfa romeo ... or any any british make, like a morgan, that leaks in the rain ... which is what it
doing here now.
... rant off.
