Has anybody recently read this? Could you please give me the main characters and their significance, kind of like what sparknotes would do. That would be very much appreciated.

My road bike makes a constant clicking sound when the rear wheel rotates without me pedaling. After removing the cassette on my bike I found out that the clicking is from the hub spinning. Is this normal? Should I buy a new hub to get rid of that sound?

I am relatively new to cycling as I've only been riding for a little over a year. I have a 2006 Giant OCR 1 and love the bike, but I am having gear shifting problems. I'm sure this is normal, and I could easily take it in for a tune-up for $40+, but I'd really like to learn how to fix this myself.

I can generally figure things out if someone can point me in the right direction or some resources online to look to to educate myself.

Any thoughts on what the problem is and how I can fix it myself?

Thanks.

Using is for XC and road.

XT shadow RD with XT 08 rapidfire shifter
OR
X9 RD with X9 shifter.

Advantages of XT
-Shadow RD
-Low normal design
-Instant release for shifter
-2 way release for shifter
-Removerable gear indicator
-Very nice looking

Advantage for X9
-1:1 ratio

Can't think of more. Anyone can tell me more?
And which one is better? I'm more towards XT currently.

why people say Frankenbike?
for an example
you use a XTR shifter and rear deraillures.
but with a deore front deraillure.
why does people call it franken bike?
people just buy to their needs.
a good shifter and rear deraillure make shifting will
while a front deraillure don't make much difference even in weight
another example is myself
using a suntour fork with XT shifter, FD, RD and BB5 brakes
suntour fork is pretty good enough for me.
it works but a little heavy. thought of getting a lighter one before, but this one just work
XT drivetrain give me smoother shifting than deore
and BB5 is also strong enough as i'm very light

i just don't understand why people call these franken bikes
maybe it is to people who call them
but not all parts need to be the same grade (eg: fox fork with XTR)
so, why is it so important to use parts of the same grade?
why cant get a lower end fork with a high end drivetrain?

do check my profile for another question on my bike spec

In your opinion, what are the top three mechanical disc brake for mountain bike?

In my opinion,
1) Avid BB7
2) Avid BB5
3) Can't think of any.

Anyone can just say the model that you think is the best 3.
Reasons would be great!

A lot of bikes have 21 gears - does anybody use all of them?
How many gears do professional racing cyclists have? How many gears do professional mountain bikers have?

I'm just getting in to bicycling and I need a good bike for a little amount of money. My dad is buying it for me, and he said it should be around $200-300. I'm willing to pay some extra if there is something extra I really think I need. Right now I just use a bike to get to school and back a few miles a day. I occasionally go on a 30 or so mile ride by myself. What I really want the bike for is next spring, I'm going on a 185 mile ride. I think I need to upgrade from my wal-mart style bike before that. I want a bike that I can be happy with for years. I plan to start riding more, and maybe finding out about races and other sorts of things once I get more in shape, and I want one that will still be acceptable for that. I am going to go to a bike shop, but I just want to make sure I don't screw up. What types of things should I look for? What types of things will I not care about right now, but in a few years wish I would have had a little differently?

choose a Single Speed if that is all I was going to use it for? If I were to want to use it for road riding ocassionally would you recommend a fixed-gear Single speed? example: 80% snow & sand 20% road riding.
