How to buy a used bike and perform the pre-ride inspection ?
For many people, buying a used bike is the way to go. Sometimes you can find a great deal when shopping for a used bike if you know where to look and what to look for.
Many times, you can find a newer used bike at a significant discount. You may come across someone who recently purchased a bike and, for whatever reason (she's moving, he needs the money) — has to sell. A bike is just like a car in one way: The moment it's sold for the first time, it depreciates in price. Buy a bike after that initial sale, and you could be getting a real steal.
Not all bike shops sell used bikes, but those that do will have usually inspected the bike and made any necessary repairs before selling them. So if your local bike shop sells used bikes, that's a great place to start.
Beyond bike shops, you can shop at flea markets and garage sales; peruse the classifieds in the local paper; or check the Internet. Sites like eBay (www.ebay.com) and craigslist (www. craigslist.org) offer a wide variety of bikes. The advantage of craigslist is that you can shop in your town and likely take the bike for a test-ride before you buy.
You can tell a lot about a bike and how it was maintained just by looking at it. If there is rust and corrosion in the chains or cables, if the paint is worn and chipped, if the tires are starting to rot, this could be a sign that the bike was neglected and may not be worth the investment.
If you're going to test-ride a used bike that isn't being sold by a bike shop, be careful. The owner may not have maintained the bike and, in the worst-case scenario, something may come loose or fall off, causing you to crash. Before you ride, perform the pre-ride inspection. In particular make sure that:
- The brakes work.
- There is no looseness in the handlebars or headset.
- The pedals and cranks are secure and the bottom bracket is not loose or binding.
- There are no bad links in the chain and the cog and chainring teeth are not worn.
- The wheels are attached properly and there is air in the tires.
- Assume that you'll have to do some repairs or tune-ups on the bike, and evaluate the bike to diagnose just how much repair is needed. You can get a great deal if you're willing to do some of the repair yourself, but don't take on too much — the bike may not be worth it.
- Check all bearing surfaces, the bottom bracket, the headset, the hubs, and the pedals. If these are in bad shape, an overhaul may not be sufficient and those parts may be shot.
- Inspect the drivetrain. Are the chain and the cogs/chainrings in good shape, or are they significantly worn? A blown-out drivetrain could be prohibitively expensive to repair.
- Are the wheels true? Are the rims in good shape, or are they worn on the braking surface? What is the quality of the brand of the wheels? This information helps determine the value of the bike.
- Are the cables still usable? When you shift or brake, is there resistance from friction and corrosion, or are they smooth? Replacing cabling can be a pain.
- Is the frame free from rust and dents?

guitar pedal effects through my laptop?!?
hi
i have an aux cable and an adapter for it that allows me to plug it into my amp and into my laptop's microphone port so that when i play my guitar, it comes through my speakers.
i was wondering if anyone knows of any (free if possible) software that i could download that lets me put on special effects like distortion and all that stuff?
thanks.
PS. i have googled for it already, and there seems to be many things to download, but i cant get any of the few i've tried to work.
well there is no delay in hearing it when i play normally, why would there be a delay when i add an effect (if it is possible)?
Try this one:
http://guitarfx.net/ (free)
looks like it might be ok.
I've never tried any of this kind of stuff, so I'm not sure how it'll work.
The other guy may be right, If you plug right into the sound card, like this one does (you may need a 1/4 inch to 1/8' mini plug adapter) you may not have any lag from when you hit a note to when it comes out.
If you use a USB adapter, the other guy is right and you will probably experience a time lag.
Here's another one you might try. It's shareware. not sure if you'd eventually have to shell out $10 bucks for it or not.

read the info on this site, it seems to have a lot of good info on using effects software and had a bunch of stuff you can download for free.
