A couple pictures from the Park Tool Summit

The summit was super cool I really learned a lot not just about the new products that are coming out but also about how to service and work on things that i will be seeing everyday in the shop. I didn't get to snap a lot of pictures because the classes were so packed with information and hand on procedures but i did get a couple.

Scored these today



A guy brought in his ridiculous looking 90,s cad 3(ill snaps some pics if its still there tomorrow) with miss matched shifters on it witch were real cruddy and not shifting right so he wanted a new set so everything matched and didn't want the old ones so i snagged these took the grips of and soaked them in some degreaser for a long while then cleaned them up and every thing worked great. I also got some gatorskins with some life still left in them.

Bicycle Repairman!

Cat Eye Velo 5 cycle computer



I recently picked up the cat eye velo 5 cycle computer for my commuter bike so i didn't want to get a real fancy computer. I really like this computer its cheap and easy to set up and use i like the simple one button operation you can go through all of the functions with the one button. The computer is removable from the docking base for security reasons.And for $25 it is one of the best deals out there. So if you are looking for a basic computer i would defiantly recommend the velo 5.
  • simple to set up
  • simple to use
  • one button operation
  • removable
  • waterproof
  • $25
