Bicycling in Bloomington

Today, I visited my LBS and bought a variety of bike accessories including a new hitch rack and a pump. More about the rack later.

This evening, I decided to move around the various pumps and cages on my three bikes. I have six cages and three pumps. I did not realize how much variety exists with allen sizes, screw lengths, and pump holder shapes.

After about 1.5 hours, I got five moved, changed, and installed. But, it was frustrating trying to get the pump holders installed because it required longer screws than I had. Parts manufacturers should be more consistent. I think the pump holder I couldn’t install is designed for small tubes and my down tube is oversized.

Oh, well. At least I learned something.
