I don’t want to win stuff so much…just the thrill of possibly winning and bragging rights! (Pointless prizes sound familiar? ) So if I win I will give it away! @Steve O 178071 wrote:

YES!! There is a challenge. Winner gets a ballcap (or item of similar value). You are eligible, Jeanne, even though you were the winner last year.

Those of you attending the game, text me or email me your prediction for when the Nationals will score their first run:

1. What inning?
2. (1st tiebreaker) How many outs?
3. (2nd tiebreaker) What time? (note first pitch is scheduled for 1:35)

There are still tickets available. Nats on a winning streak!!

Thanks Gina! Actually I have already learned how to adjust my disc brakes in some ways – using the barrel adjusters and.. there is an “in/out” adjustment I’ve used too – that I can adjust with just a hex tool. I have much to learn though – looking forward.

Hello fellow Prince Georgians and Princess Georgians,

I know that there are several die hard PG action committee members here on the forum (ahem Greenbelt & Laurie), however, just a gentle reminder that we would love to hear your perspective on the action committee.

Love the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail? Great- attend the next meeting!

Can’t wait for the Hyattsville trolley trail to connect Shortcake Bakery to While Foods? Great- attend the next meeting!

Want a continuous trail network from DC to Baltimore to Annapolis? Great- attend the next meeting.

And many more great initiatives.

Your voice and opinions matter!

Thank you and hope you can join the next PG county action committee meeting.

Thanks Sarah Bee. And the date is of the next meeting is..?

Yup. Next time you do a bike fix-it night, have someone show you the process to adjust your disk brakes. You probably have two adjusters for the inside & outside calipers (my brakes are Avid BB7s, YMMV). In general, the trick is to get them as close as possible to the disk, so the brakes have some grab, without rubbing (cuz that sucks). You may also have a barrel adjuster on the cable near the brake lever, to tweak the tension.

I have the Crank Bros multitool with a Torx driver etc. My problem is the drivers are really short, and it’s too dang awkward to get the thing inside the spokes to adjust the inside caliper. I got a Torx wrench with a long driver that I use at home for bike tuning. And if I have to adjust on the road, I just fumble around attempting to spin the adjusters with my thumbs.

This thread has been awesome as I’m prepping for a 2-week bike trip, hoping to upgrade a few of my tools in the kit!

Thanks ! I have adjusted my disc brakes (mech.) I know how to adjust the barrel adjuster but they’re really hard to get to. And the in and out …yep I’ve tried to do those but had a bike shop fix em for me. More time…more patience. I’m learning.

I need to replace the pads on my mechanical disc brakes. I’ll provide the instruction if you want to do the wrenching on my bike. It’s fairly easy. I learned how to change pads and adjust the pads as they wear by watching a few videos on YouTube.

Yes. I’d love to. We will schedule offline!
