Killing Me At The Pump : HaHa

Fill up the Golden Eagle Bike Engine with gasoline The only way to travel... on a sunny day. Fillerup with 32 Cents. Found a nickle on the ground so it actually only cost me 27 cents. Full throttle gives 26-28 miles per wee-little tank.

Belt Problem Opportunity : New Gear

Had a belt slip again. Hmmm. Changed it not long ago. Everything looks OK. I called the professional Julia at Golden Eagle. We discussed and I tweaked. Still slipped. I called again and talked to Dennis. His conclusion was the same as Julia's but with more technical jargon to share.

Julia felt the gear was worn but I had trouble understanding how to observe it.

Sure enough, after ordering a new gear, one size larger, it was obvious that mine was worn when the new one arrived. Pictures soon for details...

Gear : $29
Belt : $29

Therefore, the conclusion of this matter is that with a number 13 gear versus a number 12 the bicycle is zooming along once again.

All the belts I have are still good so I should be covered until at least the year 2155.

I can tell a noticeable difference. Everything is tighter and I pulled one of the largest hills in the area, peddling included, and did not have any problem eventhough I was using the previous belt which had slipped alot on worn gear #12.

I love this invention.
GEBE no freebee but so worth the mirth.

more soon...
