Some of those anonymous anti-NYC posters need to give the city a visit.<br /><br />BTW, coupla my road bikes sometimes creak when I get out of the saddle; it's usually grit having built up between the crank and the BB; I remove the crank, clean, relube, and it's good to go until the next wet ride, which lately means about 3 days.huskerdontnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-83101667669926345272019-03-13T08:28:48.829-04:002019-03-13T08:28:48.829-04:00Cipo was the reason I start reading this blog.
