Quick Questions
Brooklynrider:
I could have sworn the mix had 2 on the non-drive side and 1 on the drive side. Then again, the Cult match hub is identical and dans says it has 2 hubshell bearings. The Primo Remix has 4 tiny bearings. Vitalbmx is spewing all sorts of shit that can't be trusted. If someone could confirm its 2, that would be great. I really dont want to take my hub apart right now.
hugh.:
When cooking pasta is it better to put it into cold water and bring to the boil or put the pasta directly into a pot of boiling water?
mrjimyjohn:
Lol, I always bring the water to a rolling boil before adding in the pasta.
Brendan O.:
Definitely boil the water first. Use plenty of water, pinch of salt. No lid. Stir extra at the beginning not to have any pieces stuck to the bottom / sides of the pan, then stir like every minute or so. Check package for cooking time. If it says 9 to 11 minutes. Start trying and taking bites from 7 minutes on. When it is just only slightly too al dente for your taste, turn off the fire and pour the remaining water out. By the time this has happened it should be almost perfect. Oh, and don't add oil to "prevent sticking", stupidest gimmick ever.
Always throw the pasta in the pan with the ragł (sauce). Stir for a bit on low fire. Now the pasta will reach perfect "dente-ness". Never throw the ragł on top of the pasta. Buon appetito!

what is the best way to properly tighten caliper style brakes? (the ones that have one longer bolt that goes through the frame)
i just bought a ss/fg bike and it is giving me hell to get the calipers centered so one pad doesn't always rub, and i cannot for the life of me get the pads straight and tight with the braking surface of the rim.
