So what happens when the rotor starts at the manual's minimum? Or are you just messing with me? Well, that was my other consideration, and is actually the most affordable option - I'm just wary of buying one as crappy as what I already have.

Question: is rotor minimum thickness determined by the rotor or the caliper (or something else)? Context: I need to replace the rotor, as it has worn past its minimum thickness. Stamped on the rotor, and in the owners' manual, it states min thickness should be 5mm. Nowhere does it tell you...

We're a one-car family, plus my bike. Basically the car is my wife's vehicle, the bike is mine. So I'm all-weather when it comes to commuting to work (my rule of thumb is 4deg or warmer, unless ice is still melting). In the worst of the cold, I become a GO train commuter. But if it is not...

^^^This. And also I get free parking downtown, which makes my bike cheaper than taking the GO train.

I was getting about 5.2L/100km, then I switched to a smaller rear sprocket and am getting something like 4.8.

I used to ride something very much like this all over my Grandpa's farm in Saskatchewan for hours and hours. For me the love of bikes started with the feeling of riding, rather than how cool it looked. (At the time, corvettes and cameros were the objects of my pre-adolescent vehicular lust.)

Agreed, with the caveat in bold. My rule of thumb is always let one vehicle merge. If everyone did this, lanes would merge like an expertly shuffled deck of cards, with minimal change in speed or flow. It's the idiots at either extreem that mess it up: a) The ones who fly to the end of...

Mandatory euthenasia for all! (It only makes sense).

From what little info is in the article, it seems to me that this kid's disability was beside the point. Apparantly the kid was living a worthwhile life, and his mom was more than willing to look after him. If the dad hated his situation so much he could have bailed without killing anyone. The...

Thanks guys, glad I checked here first - I would have been removing the tank this weekend, otherwise. I'll do some research and try to figure out how to deal with the vent properly.

Honestly, I have no idea - I figured it was gravity making the fuel flow. (The theoretical vacuum I was talking about was from the suction on the tube from the gas flowing down). Thing is, that after I switch to reserve, then back to on, the problem goes away. Which is what makes me think it...

Makes sense, but my gas cap doesn't twist on - locks/unlocks with the key... I will take a closer look at the cap though, see what I can see. Thanks for the suggestion!

Riding allong... try to accellerate, and realize the bike is not even running any more. Bike won't start. Switch petcock to 'reserve' and bike starts. Switch petcock back to 'on' and carry on, no problem. (btw: I had just filled the tank, so I was definately not out of gas). This has...

The OP clearly stated that he knows the procedure; it just isn't clear to him why it works. And let's face it, pushing bubbles down a tube (instead of up) is counter-intuitive. I'm no expert, but this is my understanding: Between the high viscosity of brake fluid, and the narrow tubes of the...

I seem to be on the same schedule as a pig truck that takes lakeshore just before 7am each morning. What's also nice is that by the Appleby train station there are both a maple leaf abatoir and a voortmans bakery within sniffing distance. The combo when they are both going is enough to make...

I know I'm easy, but I sure as hell ain't cheap!

Not fair because of the homo taboo. If it was female love snot, I wouldn't miss a beat - gimme my money biotch! But then again, even though it's easy to say "Hells NO!" to the posted question... if there was a stack of 270 brown bills on the table, I'm not sure I'd be able to walk away.

You probably want a heavy/exterior door regardless of the code, unless you plan to keep your garage heated.

Shouldn't have done it in a public place - that's the worst of it. I have a problem with torturing animals, not so with killing them; so until our society admits that factory farming is mass-scale animal torture, all of these stupid animal cruelty whiners crying about one sheep, or one raccoon...
