Most excellent. Goes beyond 'how to change a flat'. Though I haven't watched all of them yet.

Wow, thanks! These are terrific. I had a little trouble finding the actual video part, I had to go to youtube.com. Just watching what I've been reading about clinched it. I'd normally rather read about it than watch it, but in this case, I think it really helps to have a combination of both. I recently greased my hubs and bottom bracket, and watching it showed me everything I need to recheck. reading/watching/DebW - the perfect mix:D

Oh, you will love this quote I copied from bike forums in reference to this (http://http://richmond.craigslist.org/bik/605884205.html) bike:

It'll sell. The seller did a good job on pictures and middle-age women love those big saddles. My wife would be after that bike. Good thing it is across the country.

Middle aged women love those big saddles??

I feel for that guy's wife, so brow-beaten by his desperate weekend racer-boy fashion sense that she can't even get a bike she would like.

And that saddle sure doesn't look like a Brooks to me (though seller lists it as a Brooks)... what is it?

(edit: and why does the seller have "fixie" and "fixed gear conversion" as key words, when he proudly states the bike is a 3 speed with freshly serviced S-A hub?)

You just click on the blue titles and it goes right to the video.

Actually it wouldn't go to the videos this morning when I was at school. It would only show the page where I could read how to do it, no video. Not sure if the site was experiencing problems or if maybe sonicwall was blocking it at school, but now they play fine. (I'm home) I watched them again. Greatest thing since the Blue Book of Bicycle repair. Thanks.
