    I’m still running old 91-92

    I’m still running old 91-92 XT 7×3 STIs on my getting to work bike, found that giving the pods a good clean whilst taken apart with Finish Line Speed Clean (cotton buds and towel) and then lots of Finish Line’s Pedal and Cleat Dry Film Lubricant, seems to be non oil and almost all PTFE.  Keeps them going a bit longer, not my first set of course, ebay to keep her Retro and quality.  Works great on the brake lever pivots/bushings too.

    They managed not to see a stationary object through their big glass windscreen.  Probably shouldn’t be on the road.

    They don’t just hit little us, street furniture, other cars, buses and lorries, it’s kind of shocking what they manage not to see.

    I tried the cheaper Tacx

    I tried the cheaper Tacx cermic bearing jockey wheels, about £25, they did not like the filth, my last set lasted less than 2 weeks, lesson learned.  Now on stainless.

    They do some other ones with better seals, about £45, might have been better, but I shall stick with the stainless.
