More Picture Madness

I'm a sucker for creating work for myself. I don't quite know why I'm doing this post. Like you wanna SEE this stuff?

Anyway, let us see how the randomcrap.net thumbnails work out... (LATER: They didn't)

This is checking the chain wear. "1" is "13", so "0" is "1". Understand?

As far as I can figure out from my research on the intarweb, these are the wear limits:

up to 1/16 inch -- Ok.
1/16 to 1/8 inch -- replace chain and freewheel.
1/8 to 1/4 inch -- replace chain, freewheel, and chainrings.

Looks like mine chain is 3/4 of an inch over. Whoopsie!

A nice pic of the old crank for the archive. Refer back to the "Accident" post last year to see the gouge on the left crank arm.

Hey, are those freewheel teeth supposed to be THAT pointy? I guess you can tell which gear I use the most!

And here are the new parts, waiting to be installed. Waiting, waiting, waiting. And they will CONTINUE to wait, as none of the THREE freewheel removers I have fit the new freewheel. Welcome to bicycle mechanics!
