I suspect that when I start off, I unintentionally kick it back a little and shift to high. I guess I should just stop in high gear and then that unintentional backpedal will put me in low gear where I want to be.Doohickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088639153697449691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26432302.post-53874270556888700842012-02-22T22:47:06.329-06:002012-02-22T22:47:06.329-06:00I like your SA mod.

When I did the re-do, that name didn't seem quite right, but The Whip just kind of seemed right.Doohickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088639153697449691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26432302.post-4102706633092589042012-02-17T18:02:43.023-06:002012-02-17T18:02:43.023-06:00Out of curiosity, how do you tell what sex a bicyc...Out of curiosity, how do you tell what sex a bicycle is?Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26432302.post-41315642763585057722012-02-15T20:40:52.471-06:002012-02-15T20:40:52.471-06:00I'm happy you still have the bike!
