Bicycle Stuff

I just ordered a wheel from Mel Kornbluh (http://www.tandemseast.com) last week after bending my third axle. The problem with my bike appears to be a combination of 126mm hubs, my size/weight, riding habits (bunny hop over road debris) and pot holes in South Jersey.

The new wheel will be a 126mm, 40 spoke Phil Wood hub with a Mavic T-217 rim. After careful measurement of both the frames, this wheel should fit both my DeRosa and Cannondale bikes. Mel should have it ready in about two weeks and I will post a note after I have a few hundred miles on the new wheel.

Long time no Blog.

I feel GREAT. I passed a kidney stone yesterday after had 'attacks' in Mon/Tues/Fri of last week. Went to the urologist yesterday (25 June) and passed a 5-6mm irregularly shaped chunk 'o calcium into the cup. I feel *much* better now. Had blood test to check my parathyroid function and have 24 hour urine test scheduled for tomorrow.
