  1. I think I still have my stock units in a box, I'll look when I get home and report back. If I don't post over on the zrxoa.org I'm a member there as well but haven't logged on in months. It is a bunch of geezers that bitch about politics all day long now.

  2. I use a right angle die grinder to remove the rivets, do this while it is positioned on the rear sprocket and the chain will not flex on you. No need to use the chain tool to remove the link. Just shove a big screwdriver or chisel in the old link to pry apart.

  3. River view is pretty good, just not very long. It twists through some rock quarries, nice scenery, good pavement. I also like to jump down 40 corners rd into the farm land around marshalville and Doylestown area. North Lawrence is ok too, not super twisty but its open, sweeping hills, hardly any stop signs or cops.

    Did you mean Riverside Ave between Orrville St. & Forty Corners Rd? I grew up in Canal Fulton and use to ride that 25 years ago.

  4. This Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 is one of my favorite lens and what I use most at the MX tracks. It keeps me from having to make a lens change at the track where it always gets dusty in the afternoons. The cost is not to bad at $479 and would work well for anyone looking for a great walk around lens. I linked the Sony mount but they do make it for every major manufacture.

  5. I now have 2 DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens (kit lens) that came with the A65 and A560. Neither of them have even been mounted to a body, if you need 1 of those I will sell either very cheap. I have 1 more that came with my A200 that I actually use. I have 2 Zeiss lens, a 16-50mm f/2.8, and a 85mm f/1.4 for when I thought I wanted to do portraits. It turns out that I really don't like shooting anything other than MX.

    If you are ever in the Tuscarawas Co area and want to borrow 1 I would be more than happy to lend them to you. I need to look up that camera guy in C-bus and have my 560 professionally cleaned. My stuff takes a beating at the MX tracks.

  6. Today I received my new Sony A65. It is a Translucent Mirror DSLR and shoots 10 frames per second at full resolution (24.3 mp) with continuous forcus that also works in HD video mode. I also included a new 2.8 70-200 lens. The camera next to it is my Sony A560 gripped.

    The best thing about using Sont gear is all my friends use either Nikon or Cannon so they don't ask to borrow my prime lens.

  7. Fox racing guy. Do you have road bikes or components?

    Only 2, My old Cannondale 3.0 "crash a terium" with Campagnolo Record components & tubular tires. If your not familiar with tubular tires these are where the tube is sewn into the tire casing then you glue it on the wheel.

    My old Cinelli fixed gear is in my attic. I use to live in San Diego and rode at the velodrome there frequently.

  8. Buddy has a Trek 4500 disc. Im trying to get him to sell me. Are they any good?

    Trek makes good bikes, if you like it buy it. Sometimes it's just a preference for what you like Grip shift (twist shifters) V Shimano Rapid Fire. My favorite is still Old School thumb shifters. My Cannondale pictured has XT 7 speed thumb shifters and I love them.

    Look on craigs list too and I bet you can find a deal. The only thing that loses value faster than boats is bicycles. :D

  9. I also own a 73 H2. My father purchased it brand new in 1973 and gave it to me as my first street bike in 1984 when I turned 16. I took my motorcycle endorsement test on that bike 4 days after acquiring my regular drivers licence.

    Do you have the titles to both the runners? If you are interested in selling your best bet is to put them on Ebay or advertise in Walnecks. If you don't need the cash right away I would wait and see if the market comes back some. If they are in original condition some overseas bidders will pay a real premium for a correct original.
