^ You could buy shoes like the ones you linked to or if you haven't already opened them just return the pads and get the combined shoes/cartridge because they're usually dirt cheap.
^^Thanks TejanoTrackie, I do plan to take these wheels to the shop when I get around to it. The shop I trust the most to handle that sort of stuff is pretty far so I was just wondering if it would be an issue for regular riding, which it doesn't seem to be.

Thanks guys, I took them off today and slid them back on and now the left one is stuck on pretty well but the right is still lose near the end. I might try some wd-40 since I have that readily available.
We'll keep them for a bit before switching to the lock on ones.

We use hairspray in the shop. Though lock-ons are so much more better especially the Ergon or Mano grips a nice relaxed grip is way more comfy plus give you better blood flow.

Windsor Hour peeps, what size tires are you running? I'm wondering if I could fit a 32 or bigger on mine? I'm not running fenders or anything.
If I did a wider tire, I'd probably have to get new wheels too, huh?

For what its worth, the grips are now on super tight, all set with those.
And I did some searching and found where someone put 28s on their hour.

There's always that. Actually, I will probably will do that this weekend, I was just looking at bike parts today while I was at work and was being impatient.

Probably overthinking this but just curious...
I took off my chain to clean and remove a few links, when putting it back together the pin must have gotten squeezed and came through with a really sharp burr. It's connected and works fine so I'm not going to change it, but just wondering has anyone else experienced this? It's the first time I've connected a chain and had this happen.
If it helps I'm using an Izumi standard chain, it's about a year old and fairly stretched. Thinking maybe between the stretch and not connecting the original links caused some unevenness?

Why is this a question for me? Do you think it's a good deal?
edit: I just saw the pic of your Landshark in the 'Today I' thread. Get rid of that wonky thing.
