    I got in 9.5 miles on Thursday.

    I have a question for the really avid/experienced cyclers. I just had my bike into the shop to get my gears looked at, they were slipping on my last ride. The guy adjusted them at no charge, but recommended that I have an allover tune-up for $60. How often, if ever do you get a tune-up and its that a normal cost?

    Well, I do most of the work myself on my bike so I look it over all the time. Don't really every give it a full tune up cause I am constantly fiddling with it anyway. lol. I would think once per year would be a good place to start. 60 bucks sounds reasonable.

    That's an impressive first week! I had a great first week too mind - 132 miles is a lot for me.

    I can't get above an average of 18mph though so that's certainly a goal for me. New roadbike on the cards too I think

    I made a separate thread in the F&E forum but I really need some urgent help.

    In short, I've broken 3 spokes in as many weeks just from street riding. My LBS said I def need a new 'stronger' rim so I am shopping on Amazon but have zero experience with the intricacies of buying a new wheel so I'll list what is currently on there.

    Diamondback SL7 Aluminum Alloy
    Double Wall
    700c x 28/38C
    ETRTO 662 x 20

    Disc brakes and an 8 speed cassette.

    The bike is a Diamondback Overdrive Sport so I don't want to go too expensive (I only paid $500 for the bike). I am not too concerned with the wheel's weight as long as it's somewhat economical and durable.

    I really appreciate any help you guys can give.

    6/8 - 4.0 miles at 10.4mph listening to Jim James. My Walkman died so I'm using my backup Walkman, which also has external speakers. The Walkmans with external speakers are hard to find (they were probably discontinued because they don't handle sweat well) but I'm now on the prowl for another one.
