Ay up delay
Hi guys!
Just had an e-mail from Ay up saying that the delivery of the medium lights is delayed for at LEAST another WEEK!! 
They say they have heaps of the intermediate ones in stock, so I am wondering (impatient as I am) should I just get the intermediate option for the handlebars instead?
Choices, choices.... does anybody have both and could tell me how different they are? I've seen the pics to compare but they are only pics...
Cheers
Caro (who would LOVE to have had her lights delivered YESTERDAY!!) 
chain problem?
Hi there!
Sorry to ask a very basic question but I am still getting my head around the whole 'technical fix your bike' stuff. 
I cleaned my chain after the OF ride yesterday and noticed that one of the links wasn't moving anymore. I tried to clean it, put heaps of oil on it and tried to move/bend it manually for a while to loosen it. It has slightly improved but not too much really.
Is that normal and just dirt or is it possible that something is bent (that I can't see)??
And should I replace it or see what happens when riding next time?
Cheers
Caro
New Garmin edge coming soon (edge 605 & 705)
my garmin edge has been playing up in the last few months (turning itself off during rides is the main problem) so i thought i would do a bit of searching to see what they are selling for these days. I came across some info that new garmin edge's are coming at the end of this year. Intrigued i seacrhed some more, i found info on the garmin website https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=160
Avid Matchmaker
Anyone considering moving their Avid levers/SRAM triggers around (like me - gonna put the brakes inboard) might be interested in this little Avid Matchmaker thing I just noticed. Didn't see it before, perhaps I'm just slow.
No, it's not some kind of super keen cupid, it's a single mount that both Avid Levers and SRAM shifters can hang from. Found a nice picture here on NSMB:
Hmmmm... Ultimate and X0.... 
You can even hang pop-loc remote switches off these two, as this page shows:
Extending steerer tubes
Ok, this may be a stupid question, but does anyone know if it is possible to extend a steerer tube on the top of a fork?
No I didn't stuff up. I'm looking at using a fork, cut down to suit one frame, on another one but the steerer tube on the second frame is about 30mm longer. So the drum is, the fork will still fit but would only go about half way into the stem clamp, not far enough I think, so I want to try and extend the tube. Fortunately I still have the original piece I cut off, which I'm thinking could be welded back on.
Any advice or reccommendations welcome.
warranty
in June 2007 i bought a trek top fuel 9.8 at Clarance street cycle's it is carbon fiber, today when i was on the terry hills track the chain got stuck between the chain ring and the carbon fiber back stay. this happened alot it has damaged the carbon fiber and i am wondering do you think this would be covered under warranty. also when i cleaned my bike i noticed the cable to the rear shock has gouged into the frame 2 to 3 mm when i tapped this area it sounded very hollow would this be covered under warranty?
